Family Theater: The Coat

Family Theatre presents Irene Dunn and Jean Evans. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents the coat, starring Jean Evans. And now here is your hostess Irene Dunn. Thank you Tony Lovrano.

A Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice. A practice that must become an important part of our lives, if we're to win peace for ourselves, for our families and peace for the world. Family theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family."

Now to our transcribed drama, The Coat starring Gene Evans as Stan and featuring Jeanette Nolan as Miss Fuller. Now don't you miss Fuller? Sure she hears it. She's pushing 60 but her ears are still okay.

Oh no Miss Fuller, don't try to get away. I'm going right with you. Got a good hold on in your arms, see? A good grip on all that meat. Yeah. Yeah, she thinks she's going to get rescued and leave me behind.

But it ain't going to be like that. No, sir. I'm all through, getting pushed around. I've been pushed around plenty by her and all her rich friends. And some of them weren't even rich. They were just poets or painters or something, riding around on her yacht because they spoke fancy English.

And there I was running back and forth on a monkey suit, serving them food and soup, and tall drinks. Every time any of them snapped their fingers, I was supposed to hop. First time I got a breather was the night of the storm.

They were too sick to want any service. All but her, she felt great. I was heading down to the galley for something to eat when I spotted her leaning against the rail, watching the waves like it was some big show.
