Transcript

Family Theater presents Robert Stack and Cecil Kelloway. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents the big one starring Cecil Kelloway. And now, here is your host, Robert Stack.

Family Theater'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. And now to our transcribed drama, The Big One starring Cecil Callaway as Daniel. Some of my well-meaning friends have been after me for a long time now. You get up here on the radio and tell my story, the story of the Big One. I just couldn't bring myself

to do it. You see, it's like this. It's what you might call a quaint little story about the Irish and if there's one thing I dislike more than another it's a quaint little story about the Irish. I pull right up to here with them and you know why they're always full of terrible misrepresentations. People wearing green hats, little chilelles and saying sure

and we got her and the like all the time. There's a full symphony orchestra trying to get your sympathy by playing background music that sounds like quaint little Irish tunes being played on a concert either, like this.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, stop it, that's enough. You see what I mean? You can understand why a man wouldn't want to contribute to such foolishness, but nonetheless the story needs telling if I'm going to get these well-meaning friends off the neck.
