Family Theater: The Way of the Cross

Family Theatre presents Jeff Chandler and Maureen O'Sullivan. From Hollywood, the Mutual Network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents a special Holy Week program, the Way of the Cross, starring Jeff Chandler.

And now here is your hostess Maureen O'Sullivan. Thank you, Tony LaFrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. of our lives if we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world.

Family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family. And now to our transcribed drama, The Way of the Cross, starring Jeff Chandler as narrator. Because of the miracle of radio, there's hardly a country on the face of the earth, from which an event of importance cannot be flashed within minutes to the rest of the

waiting world. For example, I'm standing here at this moment before a radio microphone in Studio 3 of the mutual Dan Lee network in Hollywood. It's what they call a ribbon microphone, which means that you have to stand directly in front of it or it won't pick up your voice.

Everyone around here, including me, is taking this microphone pretty much for granted. In fact, even the engineer up in the control room, whose direct concern this microphone is into which I am speaking, is at this moment, at least, primarily interested in in the dial upon his control board, which tells him whether or not I am speaking loud

enough for you to hear me. All of which is a way of showing you, if showing is needed, that even the people closest to it in this 20th century AD take completely for granted the miracle of radio. As I say I am in Hollywood, I don't know where you are, so, Carbondale, Illinois, Maine, Canada, perhaps even in Australia, but you can hear me, and that's the miracle.
