Transcript

Family Theater presents Frank Leahy and Jack Haley. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Past Imperfect, starring Jack Haley. And now here is your host Frank Leahy.

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, 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, Past Imperfect starring Jack Haley as Jim. Jim! Oh, look at this man. You want it on the phone, dear.

Oh, I guess I dropped off, honey. Oh, just one side like to have you come home at night from the office without a brief case full of work. I'll taper off in a few weeks.

What you said last month. Sometimes I wish you'd never been elected President of the firm. Ah, don't you worry. Feeling fine. Who's calling? Oh, Mr. Wilson. He says he's with the Johnson Cement Company. Do you know him?

No, but I got a luncheon appointment with one of Johnson's big competitors tomorrow. Wonder what this fellow wants. I don't know. Shall I tell him you're not here? No, no, no. I'll talk to him.

Hello. Yes, this is Mr. Steele. What can I do for you? Yes, I know you, firm. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't believe I've ever met you, Mr. Wilson. I... Your name is what? George Wilson? From Terrenceville?

What is it, dear? Why, why, yes, I sure do remember you very, very well. You want to talk about what? Tonight? Oh, oh, you'd like my company to buy some of your cement for a change.
