Transcript

Family Theatre presents Tyrone Power and John Hodeac. From Hollywood, the mutual network and cooperation with Family Theatre presents Turn on the Lights, starring John Hodeac. Now here is your host, Tyrone Power. Thank you, Tony Lefrano.

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.
