Transcript

The Mutual Broadcasting System presents the Family Theater, starring Lee Bowman and Frank McEew. George Murphy is your host. More things are brought by prayer than this world dreams of. Good evening, this is George Murphy as your host of Family Theater Tonight.

I want to welcome all of our new listeners and say thank you to all of the old friends whose loyalty and word of mouth enthusiasm for our program and its purposes have helped us to grow tremendously.

Family theater, as you know, is dedicated to a purpose. A purpose no one can quarrel with, a happy family. We number quite a few million now, and that's an encouraging note. It means that all of you join with us in the belief that a happy family is not only our most precious possession, but is also the very foundation of the peace and understanding which

is needed in the community, the nation, and the world today. We also share the simple conviction that prayer, family prayer, can help keep our families well and happy can help keep our homes together for a family that prays together, stays together.

And now it's time for our play. Tonight, Family Theater presents an original story entitled A Bunch of Keys, written by Bud Lesser and starring two of your favorites, Lee Bowman and Frank McEew. I'm the proprietor of the only decent eating place in Boston.

Oh, you wanted to know about Joel Hammond. Well, it's an interesting story. I can't tell you the ending because the ending hasn't been lived yet, but I can't tell you quite a bit about the beginning.
