Family Theater: Work of a Lifetime

The Mutual Broadcasting System presents the Family Theater, starring Pat O'Brien and Bill Williams. Edward G. Robinson is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is Edward G. Robinson.

Thanks for inviting us into your home this evening. And it's nice to know that so many of you are listening with your families. Your letters tell us that and we're pleased because it means that you like our program program and the purpose behind it. As most of you know, family theater is dedicated to

your family and dedicated with the hope that your family is well and happy and that your home is all you wish it to be. We join with so many of you in the conviction that a family that prays together stays together. For if we have understanding and harmony within our own homes, we will also have a broader and brighter viewpoint of our neighbors' problems

and those of the world at large. Well, enough about our purpose and more about the Night's Play, which is based on an original story by Matt Taylor and adapted for the family theater by True Boardman and features two of our most popular and well-known stars, Bill Williams and Pat O'Brien.

So stand by for work of a lifetime. The sombre mass of stone and steel that is a state penitentiary. and row upon row cell blocks, silent, saloment, sit waiting through the eternity that is the time they are to serve.

And on a certain winter's day, in the office of the Warden, in the prison administration building, why shouldn't a man get out of this place when he gets a chance? He should, of course he should.
