Transcript

Family Theater presents Jean Peters and Jay Carroll Nash. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Genius from Hoboken, starring Jay Carroll Nash. To introduce the drama, here is your hostess, Jean Peters.

Thank you, Tony Lefrano. 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 drama, Genius from Hoboken starring Jay Carroll Nash as Giuseppe. Sometimes a man will sell his whole life for a song, such as the case of Giuseppe Faustino, a barber from the old country.

Giuseppe came to the United States a good many years ago, and for no particular reason settled in New Jersey in Hoboken. Like most Italians, Giuseppe had one reigning passion, music. And when he could take time off from his little barbershop, Giuseppe could always be seen at the opera or at the local concerts.

Then Giuseppe met Wood and married Maria. And of course, nothing would do but a first-class honeymoon at Niagara Falls. It was while they were there that Giuseppe told his bride of his life, Sanfishing. It says it's so beautiful just like all of my life.

I have dreamed that I would have been married to someone like you and that I could have a mahanimo at the Niagara Falls. Then are you happy, Hamam Maria? Oh, yes. It's so happy. Aren't you?

Well, sure. That's what a man is a born-of-for. To marry, have a final wife like you. Someone wanted to love and live with and to have a family with you. Oh, this is so cute.
