Family Theater: Mr. Carousel

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Mr. Carousel, starring Jimmy Durante. Jeanette McDonald is your hostess. More things are wrought by prayer than this world-dream song. Prayer is a simple thing.

A simple act of lifting our minds and hearts to God. A simple word of thanks. An act of love. With these convictions about prayer, Family Theater comes to you each week. It comes with the knowledge that family prayer can give us the most powerful help to keep our families together.

That's why family theatre is dedicated to your family, to all families. Your letters during the past two years have given us great encouragement. It's encouraging to know that listening to family theatre has become a habit.

We sincerely hope that praying together, praying as a family, has also become a habit with you. When you gather your family together, when you make daily prayer a family practice, you'll know the joy and happiness of God's wonderful blessings.

Jeanette McDonald returns following this family theatre story, Mr. Carousel starring Jimmy Durante. Brooklyn is famous for a number of things, a tree that grew there, a baseball team, a bridge, and two million eight hundred thousand proud and highly volatile citizens.

This is the story of one of them. James Dala-Hantie Clayton and a memorable moment in his life. It's a nice balmy evening on Willow Street, and James Dala-Hantie Clayton sits on his front porch as usual tinkering with a new music box when he has a visitor.

Good evening, Mr. Carousel. Well, good evening, Marianne. Come on up here on the porch. I've got a new tune for you. Just got through putting together a new music box. Oh, gee, a new song.
