Thank you, Tony Lefrano. 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 theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family.

Tonight's family theatre takes great pleasure in presenting a Star for Helen, starring water Brennan as Bunnegan and Betty Lynn as Helen. My name's Ed Brannigan, and I was thinking, maybe I ought to tell you about Helen, Helen Jackson.

She's a nice kid, one of our tenants. Being as that I'm the janitor this house, so I get to know the tenants. I've been here for over 20 years, and I know Helen. When Helen was a kid, six years old, she used to come down into the basement and talk to me.

You see, I always needed to point to keep a bag of jelly beans and me. This is like it was. Hello Mr. Panican. Hi, hello Helen. School out already? Uh-huh. Been a good girl in school today?

Uh-huh. I got another gold star in my book. Another one? It's from my ABCs. See? Mm, I'm proud of you Helen. Let me see. Oh, you got a gold star, Mundy? A gold star Tuesday?

A gold star Wednesday and today Thursday another one? That's because I'm smart. And how's your behavior? I'm good in school. Are you always good? I'm always good. Now look here, Helen. You wouldn't tell me a lie, would you?
