Family Theater: The Fountain of Youth

Family Theater presents Don Before and Marino Sullivan. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you Marino Sullivan, John Dainer and Lorraine Tuttle in a transcription of Bomb Fox, Fountain of Youth, to introduce the drama your host, Don D. Cole.

Thank you, Gene. Thank you. Almost from the beginning of time, men have dreamed of finding perpetual youth. Many legends have been told of strange elixirs and talismans that could make this dream of enduring youth come true. But it took the gifted pen of Rudolph Bombach, the famous German poet and storyteller, to give us what is probably the most heartwarming and unusual tale

ever written concerning such a dream. A story that in my estimation places forever in their proper niche, all such fairy tales and fancies. But let Marino Sullivan tell us you now the story of the Fountain of Youth by Rudolph Bombach.

Once upon a time, as all good fairy tales start, in a land far across the sea, they lived a young woodchop and named Hans, and his beautiful golden-haired wife Greta. They would deeply had loved these two, and very happy. Very happy indeed. Life to them was as sweet as the songs of the birds that fill the forests around the small cabin where they lived. And they

They asked nothing more of life than to live together, contented and happy as they were. Now it was greatest habit to bring food and drink to Hans for his lunch when he was working. And so on a certain summer, beautiful day, we find her making her way to the clearing where he was busily cutting down trees.
