Not so long ago, Family Theater received a letter which seems to call for a special answer. A listener wrote, I like your program, the plays, the stars, the music, but I never know what to expect.

Why one week you present a delightful comedy and next week you're very serious. I don't know what to look for next. Well I'll tell you what to expect on the Family Theatre. First, a program that is interesting, entertaining, and usually we hope, inspiring.

Then a weekly reminder that your family is the most important thing you have in the world. to cherish and protect, something to thank God for each day by praying to Him as a family. Family theatre is dedicated to your family and to all the families of the world. Family theatre is successful if your family enjoys it each week and becomes personally convinced

that the family that prays together stays together. Buddy McDowell returns following this week's Family Theater presentation, Altura Freedom, starring Anne Revere.
