Transcript

Family Theater presents Debra Padgett and Walter Brennan. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents the legend of Hychin Bob, starring Walter Brennan. And now here's your hostess, Debra Padgett.

Today's 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.

The family theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. An hour to our transcribe drama, the legend of High-Chin Bob, starring Walter Brennan as Maverick. It's twilight of an autumn day on a small cow range in the lush country of North-Central Arizona.
