Family Theater: Home for Thanksgiving

Family Theater presents Stephen McNally and Joan Leslie. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Home for Thanksgiving, starring Joan Leslie to introduce the drama, Here's your host, Stephen McNally. Thank you, Tony Lefrano. 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 or peace for the world. Family theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family and now to our drama, home for Thanksgiving, starring Joan Leslie as Letty. Only old timers in New Plymouth remember that Letty Polk isn't a member of Clark Atwell's family. They recall the day Clark brought Letty to the

from the orphanage downstate. She was to take care of his wife Helen, who just had her fourth child. Letty was just fifteen then, but old for her age. That was twenty years ago. The children letty cared for are grown up and married now with children of their own.

And the big farmhouse on the old mill road is usually quiet. Except for occasions such as Christmas, Fourth of July, or Thanksgiving. Today in the Atwell kitchen, Helen and Lettie are preparing for the big day ahead.

And this year we want to be sure there's plenty of dressing. You know how the men love it. Honestly, I believe they'd rather have the dressing than the turkey. I'll fix some separate for Tom. He just can't eat onions.

Oh, that's right. I'd almost forgotten Lettie. Oh, it's been so long since Tom sat down to dinner with us. The others used to tease him about not eating onions. He used to take it to be a weakness.
