Family Theater: Brannigan's Bat

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Brannigan's Bat, starring Steven Dunn and Gail Storm. Gene Crane is your hostess. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Sometimes you hear people say there's not much romance left in the world today.

We're supposed to be living in a mechanical age, an age of machines when everything is measured in cold facts and figures. And yet every boy who falls in love with a girl to whom he pledges his lasting love, every marriage, the story of every home and family, is a wonderful romance.

It's an adventure that goes beyond material things, for material things alone can never bring the happiness that's found in a good home. No, you can't buy happiness and love and understanding and peace. They aren't paid for in dollars and cents, because all spiritual values depend on faith, faith in God and faith in one another.

Yes, faith is necessary for a happy home. That's why family prayer, the daily expression of our faith in God, is so necessary for every family. It's the romance of daily family prayer that brings sacrifice, service, and lasting love and happiness to a home.

The Green Crane returns following tonight's family theater story, Brannigan's Bath, starring Gail Storm and Steven Dunn. Ball reporter, boy with the portable microphone and the nose for news. And I'm snooping around the bear's dug out here now in these last few minutes before the start of this crucial game.

Just to see what we can pick up, uh-oh. I should go, that was Eddie Brannigan again, taking the last of his pre-game walks. That ball cleared the screen by least 30 feet. What, I hit him?
