Family Theater: Window in the Sky

Family Theater presents Dinah Shore and Gigi Perot. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you Gigi Perot in Window in the Sky. You introduce the drama, your hostess, Dinah Shore.

Window in the Sky. Ever wonder if there might be something of that kind up there above us? A window from where the faces of loved ones gaze down on us.

Love ones whose eyes shine at the sight of us and whose lips tremble with prayers for our well-being and happiness. Well, I've wondered about it. And that's why I want to tell you about a story I once heard.

A story about a window in the sky. It begins in Nora Robin's kitchen as she prepares Sunday dinner for her husband Bill and her seven-year-old daughter, Celie. Oh, I was just going to call you to get washed up, darling.

Father will be here any minute. Mom? Yes, Celie. Why don't I have a little brother, sister, like the other kids do? It's a long story, Celie. Go get washed. I like long stories, and I can always get washed.

Celie, you heard me. If father will be here any minute. Then I'll ask him. And I'll let you if he's late to dinner. In the meantime, Celie, just realize, please, that little brothers and sisters are always are expensive. No, we aren't poor. It isn't convenient right now.

You mean you have to buy them? Well, it amounts to that. Then where did Mrs. Mangini get the money to buy all she has? And Rosa says there's another one ordered. I don't know. And the Mangini kids have twice as much fun as I do. They've eaten gone orchestra.

Thank you for being with us. And remember, the family that prays together stays together. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. From Hollywood, Family Theater has brought you Gigi Perot in window in the sky, with Dinah Shore as your hostess and narrator.

Others in our cast were Jean Van de Pile, Stephen Chase, Jay Loughlin, Harley Bairn, Constance Cavendish, Tim Graham, and Jay Novello. Our story was written by Ray Marmer-Met with music composed and conducted by Harry Zimmerman, and was directed for Family Theater by Jaime DelVoy.
