Family Theater: Stolen Symphony

Jimmie Durante, Anne Francis and Hugh O'Brien. The Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Stolen Symphony, starring Hugh O'Brien and Anne Francis. And now here is your host, Jimmie Durante. 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, Stolen Symphony, Star and Anne Francis as the Angel, and your Brian has Jerry. High Family Theater brings you a little symphony, a half hour of restful music.

So just relax my friends and dream with us as we travel on wings of song to the lands of enchantment far away from the hustle and confusion of the day. I'm sorry to break into the music like this and take over your program, but it's the only chance I'll have to tell you what happened.

I won't disturb the music much. See, who's away it was? This morning at dawn I was over the Rocky Mountains, flying eastward into the sunrise, far below the tracks of the Santa Fe around like a silver ribbon and new infinity.

It was an endurance test flight of the new XF491. Everything was going smoothly when... Just like that. Something in the engine, first, wasn't any warning. One minute of anything was fine, and the next one, she was breaking up like a paperboard in a hurricane.

There were two or three terrifying seconds before I could realize what was happening and move into action. The plane was a rowing ball of flame, the time I flew the canopy and pulled the ejection switch.
