Family Theater: Retiring Mr. Hewitt

Family Theatre presents James Gleason and Otto Kruger. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents the retiring Mr. Hewitt, starring James Gleason.

Now here is your host, Otto Kruger. Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives if we were 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, the retiring Mr. Hewitt, starring James Gleason as Waldo. Little bit more on there.

Dada, hold it. Just sand down the edges a bit now and I'll be... Yes? You busy, Gramps? No, no, come in, Dolly. Come in. What are you making? Just patching up this dresser drawer, the one that sticks so bad, you know.

Pretty big job? I had to take out the whole bottom panel. It was all warped. It looks wonderful. Well, I hope it looks better than you sound. I'm sorry. What's the matter, honey? Oh. Aren't that the office?

Partly. No, not even partly. I don't know. Graham, do you like it here? You mean the house? Oh, the house, the town, the people. Sure, I think it's great. Don't you like it? I love it.

Well... I only wish Dad felt the same way. Oh, I think he likes it a lot more than he lets out. Oh, Graham, I do. In the eight months we lived in Woodside, have you ever heard him say one complimentary thing about it?

Well, I think he remarked once last summer that at night his bedroom was cool. What he said was he'd freeze to death without a blanket. Oh, it was not strong. It was a lot stronger. I thought a few adjectives.
