Family Theater: Their Only Son

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents their only son starring Victor Jory, Scotty Beckett and Joan Carroll. Gary Cooper is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

The other day I got to thinking how things change over a period of years. We kind of pass through cycles and fads. Well, for example, some years ago it was jigsaw puzzles then everybody took up miniature golf.

Then Kilroy came along, and he was followed by the ladies who decided to become old-fashioned and adopt the new look. Yes, we live in a world where a lot of things change and yet the solid fundamental things in life are the same.

The values of the important things don't change. Our belief in God is unchanging. The necessity of prayer is the same today as it was yesterday. Our homes and families are still our most important concern.

Principles of Right Living don't change, and the daily practice of family prayer will always be the surest way to peace and happiness in a home. Gary Cooper will return following tonight's family theatre story, their only son, starring Victor Jory, Scotty Beckett, and Joan Carroll.

And Dad, if I win our high school contest, I have a chance at the state contest. Then I'm eligible for the national and...

That's the way to do it, son, every time you have an opportunity. Get on your feet and start talking. Public speaking, the best in school. Why, I remember when I... I have more coffee, John.

Erm, no, no, Vera. I'll have to run. I have that third district political club meeting, night at eight. I'll just make it in time. Oh, but Dad, you said you were coming to the oratorical contest tonight.
