Family Theater: The Payoff

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.

I may have asked you three steps in days. Yeah, everybody's so busy. Oh, the reception desk. For your journal, good morning. Good morning. Mr. Johnson is an investor now. But I'm not looking for Mr. Johnson.

I will do it. And Mr. can you just wait until I'm off the line? I can't hear two people at once. Oh, excuse me. You're on the phone. I thought you were talking to me.

My eyesight isn't as good as it is. Now, can I help you, sir? Yeah, well, my name is, yes, yes, you can. You see, my name is Mary B. Who do you want to see me?

Well, you used to have a lady named Miss Wilson. And she wrote stories for your newspaper. She wrote one about me and my birds once. Would that be Miss Amy Wilson? Yes, yes, that's right.

He'll always hear us. This is your life, God reminds us. I have given it to you, and I'll help you guide it along the right path, if you will but ask me for that help.

Something else too, folks, the family that prays together, stays together. Our things are wrought by prayer that this world dreams of.
