Family Theater presents Eleanor Powell and Paul Pacherny. I'm Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Gamblers End, starring Paul Pacherny. And now here is your hostess, Eleanor Powell. 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, Peace 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, Gamblers End, starring Paul Pacherny as Woods. ["Pomp and Circumstance"] Come in, come in.

I'd like to talk to you a minute, Colonel, if I may. I think so. Sit down. Thank you, sir. It's not a complaint, I hope. Oh, no, sir. You're in a fine hospital. The hand-bothering you?

Oh, no more than usual, sir. A few ghost pains. At least that's what Dr., I mean, Major Corey calls them. I lost the end of my thumb and some of my wrist action. Not much else.

And of yours, um... Oh, yes, yes. Dr. Corey told me you might come to see me. Your name is, um, Bob Woods. You were Corporal? Yes, sir. Well, what's on your mind, Corporal? It's about one of the men you're treating, sir.

Wendell Lambert. Oh, yes. Not in very good shape. But he'll be out of here in another six months. But he'll be yours? No, sir. No? As a matter of fact, sir, I guess you could say he's my worst enemy.

Then what exactly did you want to see me about? Well, sir, I'm being discharged from the hospital today, I wanted to ask you advice about what? Well, I suppose you'd call it ethics, sir. What do you want to know?
