Family Theater: Portrait of Cynthia

From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Portrait of Cynthia with Bob Hope as host. 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're 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 drama, Portrait of Cynthia, featuring Virginia Gregg as Cynthia. Cynthia Todd was a young widow and most extravagantly lovely. She had two children, Bill and Betty, who were most extravagantly lively.

They all lived most extravagantly on Park Avenue. That is, they did, until one day when Cynthia called a famous dress salon. Hello, this is Cynthia Todd. I'm a speaker Madame Renard at once. Very well.

Bill, will you stop hammering that chair? I'm trying to... Hello, just a minute. William. Oh, all right. Hello, Adam Renard. This is Cynthia Todd. Why has my evening dress been delivered, as you promised? Betty, I knew you'd break that vase.

Do you know what I'm going to do? Uh-huh. You're going to make me sweep it up. Yes, and I ought to spank you, too. And if I were the kind of a mother you deserve to have, I would.

Go get a broom. Okay. Hello. I'm sorry, Madam. I'm a little trouble here. Now about that dress, you say the check came back insufficient funds. Well that's impossible. Well I'll call my bank at once and call you back.

I'll utterly prepastress. What's the matter mama? The bank has made some silly old mistake about my checking account. We should get all that glass. Yes mama, the banks make mistakes. This one certainly did. Insufficient funds.
