Family Theatre presents Joan Leslie and Keith Brazil. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Keith Brazil and Howard Mcdeer in Washington Irving's The Specter Bride Group. To introduce the drama, your hostess Joan Leslie.

Thank you Jean Baker. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, Peace for our families and peace for the world.

Family theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Unless this is done, I will not sleep quietly in my tune. I will not sleep.

I will not sleep. There was an old castle perched in the mountains of Saxony. Applied the banner of an ancient house flutters from the Don John Tower. And on this bright summer morning, great doings are afoot.

Everybody's busy, busy, busy. Down in the kitchen cooks hurry and scurry. Suckling pigs are stuffed with rosemary and basil. Oxen turn on the spits. Wedding bells of spun sugar top a huge cake. Needs lay out Venetian glass and gold plate on the banquet table.

And bustling about is the lord of the castle. Fat little barren bon wall shot. Numska! Would you insult my sated ancestor, Rufus the Red, because his nose is long? Hang his portrait here where he will face our honored guest.

Yes, my lord. Fetch the garlands for the table. I will arrange them with my own hand. Yes, my lord. Our Russia's strewn in his bed, Jimbo. Lavender between his sheets. Yes, my lord. Throats will be dusty from the long journey, his food and drink are plenty free servants.
