Family Theater: Quality Folks

Family Theater presents Jane Powell and Parley Bear. Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Parley Bear as Old Judge Priest in Holiday Folks by Urban S. Cobb. To introduce the drama, your hostess, Jane Powell.

Oh, thank you very much, Jane Baker. A few weeks ago, Family Theater presented one of Urban S. Cobb's favorite characters, Old Judge Priest. The reaction of our audience was so gratifying, and the number of requests for another story so numerous that we are happy to reintroduce old Judge Priest to you again.

It is with a great deal of pleasure with a deep bow to you for your letters that we bring you parley bear as Judge William Pittman Priest and Ruby Dandridge as Aunt Charlie and Urban S. Cobb's quality folks. Judge Priest, as was his custom, had allowed his considerable bulk to settle down in an old leather rocker on his front porch on Clay Street.

He started out of his drows as he heard the lats on the front gate give and the hinges sag open. He brushed the hand across his eyes and smiled happily. One of his cronies was coming through the gate after nearly three years' soldiers in Florida.

And two old men, three years is at a long, long time. Well, do like I do declare I am glad to see. Oh Judge, it's sure good to see you. When did you get back, son?

Just last night, Billy. I would have come over then, but it was late when that old train puffed in. Three years you've been gone, ain't it, Lou? Yes, sir. Three years. I've missed you, son. I ain't had a decent game of crocaves since you left.
