Family Theater: Night Elevator

Claudette Colbert, James Gleason, Nancy Olson, Star on Family Theatre. The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents Night Elevator, Starring James Gleason and Nancy Olson.

Brief portions are transcribed. Claudette Colbert is your hostess. Our happiness so often comes from little things. The simple deeds, the daily thoughtful acts of kindness. The words of encouragement we can and should give to one another.

Those things mean so much, especially at home, where appreciation and gratitude may often be forgotten because, well, because it is home and we just take for granted the kindness and encouragement that is given. It's sad to see a home where words are thanks for forgotten, or where there is distrust or quarrelling, because home was meant to be the happiest place in the world.

It can be with God's help. It will be if it has the practice of daily family prayer. The family that remembers to thank God each day in prayer will never be unappreciative of each other.

Yes, the family that prays together stays together. Claudette Colbert will return following our Family Theatre story, Night Elevator, starring Jimmy Gleason and Nancy Olsen. We tell you about one night not so long ago.

Things was real slow to round about midnight. Please, could you tell me if Mr. Preston is in his office? Sterling, W. Preston, a big criminal lawyer? Yes. Afraid not, Miss. You're sure? Absolutely. Only way to get up into the building at night is by this elevator.

And everyone has to sign a register. You can see for yourself, his name ain't on it. Well, I was to meet him here at midnight. Well, then you're 15 minutes early. But I would you give him a message?
