Transcript

Family Theater presents Robert Young. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network, in cooperation with Family Theater, presents the unknown. And now to introduce the drama, here is your host, Robert Young. Thank you, Larry Chaddison.

Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention the 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, The Unknown, with Levant-Johnson as Richard, Betty Lou Gerson as Estelle, and Jay DeVello as Henri. Do you remember what happened to Estelle Beecham?

Alright, Lady Beecham. Anyway, you remember reading about it last fall? You probably think, as a lot of other people do, that Estelle Beecham died a stupid, pointless death right in character. I don't think anything could be further from the truth.

You'd have had to know her, only for a few short days as I did, to understand why I feel this way. Perhaps I should begin by telling you the reason I was in Paris last fall. I'm one of those GIs who never came home after the war. I thought I was going to be a writer.

I may yet, although I haven't written much, but I have friends in Paris, like Henri, who now and then get me some work translating one of their poems or stories. That's what I I thought it was about when all of you phoned me to meet him down at the trigger, that evening.

Hey, sit yourself, sit yourself. Thanks, Ari. Hey. How's it go? Ugh, like this, like that. What you going to eat? I've eaten. And today? About twice. Two meals. My check came in. Dick, why don't you go back to Ohio and help run the shoe company?
