Family Theater: Mother's Halo Was Tight

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents, Mothers Halo Was Tight, starring Virginia Bruce and John Beale. Gene Kelly is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Family Theatre makes a special dedication of this program to the Mothers of America. To the women who, through the generations of our history, have played an important part in the work of building not only the homes, not only the schools, but the spirit of this nation. They have brought to their work the ideals of belief in God and in the principles

upon which our democracy is founded. The light touch of humor in tonight's play is done with a feeling that under the dignity, poise, and charm of American womanhood, there is the same understanding, tolerance, and humor that have become our basic national traits. In this This program therefore we pay tribute to the American mothers, rich in kindness and faith

and unafraid of sentiment. We pay tribute to all they are doing to bring back spiritual values into home life and to return all families to the important practice of daily family prayer in their homes.

Jean Kelly will return following tonight's family theatre play, starring Virginia Bruce and John Beale in Mothers, Halo, was tight. Sometimes things happen in the springtime that don't usually happen at any other time in the year, and in a household it isn't always easy to face these situations.

In this particular case, Father had decided that the solution to the problem was a spanking for Bobby. If you were Bobby's father, you might have decided the same way. And of course if you were Bobby's mother, you'd be listening outside the door, and you might hear something like this.
