Family Theater: The Postmistress of Laurel Run

Family Theater presents Danduriye, Virginia Gregg and Parley Bear. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents The Postmistress of Laurel Run, written by the Dean of Western Authors Brett Hart. To introduce the drama, your host, Dan Thoreyann!

Thank you Jean. We, a Family Theater, are happy to welcome Virginia Gregg and Parley Bear to our stage in a story that's long been one of my favorites. And I'm sure it's familiar to you all.

But when it comes to telling the stories of life in the western states during the gold rest days of 49, the name of Bret Hart certainly reigns supreme. Perhaps that's because he wrote not of high adventure and melodrama, but of people, warm, human, frail and courageous people, the kind of people or in the story we're going to tell

tonight. The story of the postmistress of Laurel Run. Let me tell you about it. The stagecoach carrying the mail has just passed through the little mining town of Borrow Run. Out of the whirling cloud of dust that left in its wake comes the trim figure of a young woman.

Her pretty face is made even more so by the faint flush of exertion as she drags a leather mail sack along the ground behind. Bear the mail gets heavier every day. Oh, well, now, Miss Baker, I'd be right happy to give you a hand.

Baby, I could use that bag of long for you, Miss Baker. I could just lift it on my shoulder, Miss Baker. Now, boys, you know better than that. It's the rules. Government postal regulation number 124, I think.

Or perhaps it's 142. Or, well, no matter rules, it's still rules. But I thank you. Anyway, gentlemen. All right. There's shame that's what it is. Yeah, in fact, post-Mr. Sonopost, Mr. It's a great-made, Miss Baker's job to be dragging him heavy sack.
