Family Theater presents Ann Blythe and Robert Francis. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Down Payment, starring Robert Francis. And now here is your hostess Ann Blythe. Thank you, Tony LaFrano.

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, Dong payment, starring Robert Francis as Ted. The man with the loan company was very nice, and everything he said made sense.
