Transcript

The immutable broadcast and system in cooperation with Family Theater Inc. presents Gentlemen B.C.D. Starring Eddie Catter, Rosalind Russell is your hostess. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of is Rosalind Russell.

Did you ever think how narrow is the margin between success and failure? The man who makes one percent more than he spends can be successful. The man who spends 1% more than he makes is a financial failure.

With families too, a narrow margin can make all the difference. Perhaps 10 minutes a day doesn't sound like much. But 10 minutes a day spent in praying together as a family can make the difference between success and failure in a home.

That's why we of Family Theater earnestly recommend Family Prayer as a daily practice in every home. for the family that prays together, stays together. Rosalind Russell returns following our family theatre story, Gentlemen Be Seated, starring Eddie Cantor.

But one time or another have seen a minstrel show. This is the story of one of the great old timers at Minstrels, a man who believed the minstrels could never die. His name, we call him Sugarfoot Calhoun.

This is the opening week for Calhoun's minstrels, Fresh costumes, newly painted scenery, the old familiar songs and the older even more familiar jokes are as much a part of minstrels as burnt cork and slide drum bullets.

As usual, Sugarfoot has the audience eating out of his hair. He's on stage now, just finishing his famous song and dance routine, watching from the wings are his son, Joe and Lucy, Joe's fiancé. They've watched Sugarfoot hundreds of times, and still his antics seem as new and enjoyable to them as if he was performing for the first time.
