Family Theater: Passion and Death

The mutual broadcasting system presents the Family Theater, starring Miss Ethel Barrymore, the Mitchell Boy Choir, and the music of Meredith Wilson. Charles Boye is your host. More things are wrought by prayer on this world's dreams.

Good evening. This is Charles Boye. As your host for this evening, I should tell you something about Family Theater and the story you will hear tonight.

Therefore, if I may, I would like to remind you that family theatre is dedicated to your family, with the hope that your family would always be happy. As you probably know, many of us in old phase of the entertainment industry join with so many of you, in the sincere belief that the happy family

is a family that acknowledges God and seeks his help. To put it another way, a family that prays together, stays together. Now, about tonight's story, there is very little that can be added to its own great words.

It is the Passion, Death and Resurrection, adapted especially for radio by John Slott and narrated by Miss Ethel Barrymore. These days, there is slow dawning toward a new world of peace. We need the old words to guide us.

And what greater words can we thus express for this festival day on the words of the Passion, Death and Resurrection? And it came to pass when Jesus has ended all these words. He said to his disciples, You know that after two days should be the past and the Son of Man should be delivered up to be crucified.

Then we're gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas. And they consulted together that by subtlety they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death.
