Transcript

Family Theatre presents Anne Blythe, Jeff Chandler and Betty Lin. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Flight From Home by True Bortman, starring Jeff Chandler and Anne Blythe. To introduce the drama, here is your hostess, Betty Lin.

Thank you, Tonya. Family Theatre'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 theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family, and now to our drama, Flight from home, starring Anne Blythe as Mary, and Jeff Chandler as Jim. Oh yes, Nora. We are just leaving.

We'll be there in less than half an hour to take you to the train. Alright, Nora, I'm already. Take your time. Still packing? No. No, as a matter of fact, I'm writing a letter. A letter that I shall probably never send.

Goodbye, Nora. Dear Jim. I don't pretend even to myself that this letter can make any difference. What we said last night before you left was final and definite. I know that. Within an hour, Nora and Charlie are coming to drive me to the train It will take me home to cleave him.

Home. Funny that after six years, I should suddenly be thinking again of Cleveland as home. After all, what does one do while one waits those last minutes before she says goodbye to a lifetime? I don't know.

I only know I feel impaled to put it down in black and white. I'm sitting now by the front window that faces on the river. The day is perfect and you can see all the way to the hills across the valley.
