Family Theater: The Tin Whistle

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents The Tin Whistle starring Ronald Reagan. Lloyd Nolan is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Periodically you come across an article in a magazine about the Forgotten Man. Often it's

interesting reading about someone whose contribution to an organization or to a cause or to society has gone unnoticed. Now the Forgotten Man seems to be a great number of different people, but did you ever stop to realize that in homes there are forgotten men and women too?

Yes. Mothers and fathers whose work often goes unnoticed. Now today with so many activities outside of the home every family needs to get together for a while every day. And you can bring a lot of happiness into your home by expressing a little appreciation to all the other members of the family, to Mom for all she does to make your home happy.

And don't forget the old man, too. Sometimes he's the forgotten man. But you know, we of the family theatre have another important conviction about home life, and it's this. No home can be really happy if God is forgotten.

Yes, every home needs God. Every family needs the daily remembrance of God. Every home needs daily family prayer, for true and lasting happiness. Lloyd Nolan returns for a few words with you following tonight's family theatre story, The Tin Whistle starring Ronald Reagan.

This morning, quite by accident, I came upon an old newspaper item concerning Miss Margaret Rice, who was a teacher at the grammar school I attended. It's been 26 years since I last saw Miss Margaret Rice.
