Family Theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. And now to our drama, The Courtship of John Dennis, starring Pat O'Brien as John. Bobby Driscoll

is Jimmy. Rita Johnson is Miss Christian. And Stephen Dunn as James. You might have seen a mention in your newspaper recently of a mystery of Mrs. John Dennis celebrating their silver anniversary. Well, there's a story behind it. You see, John Dennis is my father, and it was I who inspired him to court Mrs. Dennis. In fact, I even did some

of the courty. Does that sound a little strange? Well, as a matter of fact, it was. But suppose I tell you the whole story and then you'll understand how such a thing could have happened.

Up until the beginning of the courtship, my father always impressed me, as kind of a lonely man. He was kind of like his job. And as a policeman, he spent his working hours on fixed post, standing alone, in the middle of a busy intersection, helping the world go by in an orderly fashion but never trying to be part of the traffic himself. On the days

when my father had early duty, I used to fix his lunch and take it to him on the way to school. What do we got today Jim Boy? We got the same thing, two crumby couches of banana, milk and what was left of the apple pie.
