Christine, Texas
Christine is a town in Atascosa County, Texas, United States. The population was 390 at the 2010 census. It is part of the San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area. Etymology In October 1910, the town of "New Artesia" was to be incorporated. When the papers were presented in Austin, the men who took them there were told that they would have to change the name since there was already a town in West Texas with that name. The men returned home, called a town meeting and asked for suggestions. Not having any luck, the city council members finally authorized their wives to choose a suitable name. The ladies renamed New Artesia "Christine" after Christine Andrews, the first baby girl born in the town. She was the daughter of City Marshal James Andrews and wife, Rieta. The corrected papers were taken back to Austin and Christine was incorporated on October 22, 1910. There is an incorrect rumor that the town was named after Dr. Charles Simmons' daughter.

Christine, North Dakota
Christine is a city in Richland County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 151 at the 2020 census. Christine was founded in 1883. It is part of the Wahpeton, ND– MN Micropolitan Statistical Area. History Christine was founded in 1883 as a Scandinavian settlement along the Milwaukee Railroad in Eagle Township. A post office was established in 1884, and the railroad built a depot in 1886. There is some disagreement over how the town received its name, with most of the evidence suggesting it was named after Christina Nilsson, a well-known Swedish opera singer. Others, though, suggest one of the town's early settlers, Knute Norby, wanted it named after him. The townspeople reportedly objected to his proposal, naming the town after his wife, Kristine. The village was an unincorporated part of Eagle Township for much of its history, until it officially incorporated as a city in 1976.

Christine (musical)
''Christine'' is a musical by Pearl S. Buck and Charles K. Peck Jr. (book), Paul Francis Webster (lyrics) and Sammy Fain (music). Loosely based on the 1945 novel ''My Indian Family'' by Hilda Wernher, it tells the story of a woman who travels to India where she ends up falling in love with her recently widowed Indian son-in-law. Notable for the involvement of Pulitzer & Nobel prize winning author Pearl S. Buck, the musical premiered on Broadway in 1960. History Pearl S. Buck first adapted Hilda Werhner's book "My Indian Family" for a 1945 stage production at Stanford University.

Oscar Lerman and Martin B Cohen later tapped Buck for a musical stage adaptation which they hoped to present during the 1957-1958 Broadway season. Rewrites on the libretto took much longer than expected, with a "final" version not being ready until 1959. Synopsis The musical is b ...

The record did not match the popularity of its forebear, peaking at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart and selling almost half a million copies by mid-1996.
