Family Theater: Deadbeat

Family Theatre presents Bing Crosby and Paul Pacherny. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Deadby, starring Paul Pacherny. And now here is your host, Bing Crosby. Thank you Tony Lefrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention the practice that really 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. Now to our transcribed drama, Deadbeat, starring Paul Pacheone as Halsey and featuring Marjorie Bennett as Min.

The whole thing boils down to this. What are radio programs try to do besides cell things? They try to inform, educate, amuse and otherwise entertain. Well that's what I want to do with my story.

That is the story I want to tell. The way I see it, it's informative. An amusing...well, sometimes I sit up and bed at night, kind of chuckle and say to myself, Halsey, that certainly is an amusing story.

I live in Hollywood. Now here's where the education thing comes in. You see, in a lot of places, the minute you say you're from Hollywood, they think you're either a big liar or a big star.

Even in a refreshment, an establishment in Pasadena, a scant 12 miles away, I've witnessed much nudging with elbows and winking of left eyes on stating that I am a resident of Hollywood. Now I don't work in pictures, nor do I work in television or in that other thing, radio.

I don't even have a theatre-connected job, and it's the same with a lot of other people who live in my hometown. The people in my story, however, all live in Hollywood. In spite of this, they are all normal, the kind you might expect to find in your own hometown.
