Family Theater: The Losers

Family Theater presents Bing Crosby. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents The Losers. And now, here is your host, Bing Crosby. 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. 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.

Now to our transcribed drama, The Losers, with Dan O'Hurlihy as Captain Robert Scott. By December of the year 1911, two separate exploration parties, each taking a different route, were toiling across the frozen wastes of the Antarctic in a race to the South Pole.

One group headed by Rold Amundsen, the daring Norwegian explorer, won that race and returned to civilization the following April. But it was nearly seven months later before the world learned the full story of the second party, the losers and the unforgettable gallantry of its five members as recorded in the diary of their leader Captain Robert Scott of the British Royal Navy.

At last we are ready to start upon the final leg of our journey. We are camped tonight within an hour as much of Birdmoor, they see it. The pole itself is about 150 miles beyond.

I believe my judgment in saluting both Lieutenant Bars and Captain Oaks to be part of the group making the last swift dash to the pole Will ultimately be vindicated even though my good friend dr. Wilson has his doubts I Realized perfectly well what you're doing Robert that the fact remains adding the fifth man was a distinct risk
