Transcript

Theater presents Jack Benny and Mary Livingston. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents 45-caliber teapot starring Jack Benny. And now here is your hostess, Mary Livingston.

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 transcribed drama, 45-caliber teapot, starring Jack Benny as Malcolm Topleaf. Have you ever noticed how people sometimes look like animals? Well, I don't mean act like them. Everybody's noticed that.

I mean, look like them. Perhaps an aunt who somehow reminds you of a parrot. and her husband who looks like a bulldog, or an owl. If you've ever noticed things like that, you'll understand me.

You see, I am a teapot. Or not really, it's just my type. I am teapotic by nature. Even look a little like one. And the people around me, they all seem to fit into the same general classification.

The cooking or kitchenware clash, you might say. There's my wife. Here's my wife. Now, now, tell me how many times I've told you to take your rubbers off before you come in the house. You know the trouble I have, keeping this face clean without you tracking in all that rubbish mouth doors.

Time and time again I told you not to bring in dirt and yet you present no time you're overcoat on the whole tree. You know that's for guess. Put it in the closet where it belongs.
