Transcript

Family Theatre presents Pat O'Brien, David Wayne and Gene Ruth. But the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents The Big One, starring Pat O'Brien, David Wayne and Gene Ruth. 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're 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, The Big One, starring Pat O'Brien as Daniel, David Wayne as Spud Little, and Gene Ruth as Martha.

Some of my well-meed and friends have been after me for a long time now to get up here on the radio and tell my story. The story of The Big One. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

You see, it's like this. It's what you might call a quaint little story about the Irish. And if there's one thing I don't like, it's a quaint little story about the Irish. I'm full right up to here with them.

Do you know why? Because they're always full of terrible misrepresentations. People wearing green hats carrying chilellies and saying, sure and we go around the like. Well, all the time, there's a full symphony orchestra trying to get your sympathy by playing background music, trying to sound like some quaint little Irish air being played

on a concertina like this. MUSIC Stop, that's enough. You see what I mean? You can understand why a man wouldn't want to contribute to such foolishness. But nonetheless, the story needs telling if I'm ever going to get these well-meant friends off me neck.
