Family Theater: In Each Other's Shoes

Family Theater presents Anne Blythe and Sterling Holloway. From Hollywood and the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you Anne Blythe and Sterling Holloway in George Leithrop's comedy in each other's shoes. To introduce the story, your hostess Anne Blythe. Thank you Jean Baker.

George Parsons Leithrop was the son-in-law of Nathaniel Hawthorne. To a lesser writer, this might have meant remaining in the shadow of one of the great masters of American literature. But this was not true of George Lathrop.

Poet, novelist, biographer, he was well able to stand upon his own literary feet. And his short stories had a quality of imagination and fantastic conception that caused them to live and breathe today. Both as wonderful examples of the moors of human behavior and as true comedy.

We invite you then to listen to George Parsons' later ups, Rolicking Short Story, in each other's shoes, and to our star, Sterling Holloway, who plays the role of its most human hero, John Crombie. It all seems like a dream.

Only six months ago, I, John Crombie, came to the great city of New York to seek my fortune. And today, a mere half year later, I own the entire metropolis, lock, stock, and barrel. The destinies of its three million people are held in the palm of my hand.

Yes, it all seems like a dream. I reside at the lawn. That's the city's most fashionable and expensive apartment building for a regiment of servants snacks to attention to serve my needs. Attention! While my valet tends to my clothes.

Mr. Krampi said you're close a lead out for you, sir. Mr. Krampi said. Blatchford, this suit. Haven't I seen something like it before? Yes, Mr. Krampi said I do believe that you wore it once, but that was over a year ago, sir.
