Family Theater: Robert of Sicily

Family Theater presents J. Carol Nash and Raymond Burr. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater brings you Henry Wattsworth Longfellow's story of King Robert of Sicily with Raymond Burr as King Robert to introduce the drummer, your host J. Carol Nash.

Thank you, Tony LaFrano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives 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. Henry Wadsworth, long fellow's name, is most familiar today as the author of such great American poems as a Van Jelen, Song of Hearwatha, the Wreck of the Haspberries, and the Village blacksmith, but it was in the tales of a wayside in that the poet drew upon his vast travel

experiences to retell stories in verse that had been popular for centuries in prose and narration. In reading these tales, we find that long fellow stressed the simple things of life for his drama. And such is the story we have adapted from a short poem in his Tales of a wayside inn.

We invite you to listen now to Raymond Byron the title role of King Robert of Sicily, with Vermont Johnson as narrator. Robert of Sicily sat at Vesper's one evening.

The voices of the choir scarcely touching his consciousness. A tired and the gold finer is appropriate to his position as the ruler of all Sicily, King Robert could not keep his mind from the many affairs of state throughout the long day, petition after petition had been laid before him.
