The theater presents Ralph Edwards and Victor Moore. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with family theater presents the payoff, starring Victor Moore. Ralph Edwards will be your host. 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're 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 transcribe drama, The Pay-Off, starring Victor Moore as Mr. Mary B. An old man slowly makes his way through the busy downtown traffic of a large city.

Finally he stands before the big building housing the Courier Journal. And then slowly moves up the steps, through the doors and across the crowded vestibule that to join the city rules. Oh, oh, excuse me sir, but I wonder if I beg your pardon.
