Family Theater: Thinking Makes It So

Family Theater presents Richard Denning and Bob Hope. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Thinking Makes It So, Starring Richard Denning. And now here's your host, Bob Hope. Thank you, Tony Lefrano.

Family Theater's only purpose is to bring 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, Thinking Makes It So, starring Richard Denning as John Bender. And so, your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, in the course of this hearing, we intend to show that John D. Bender is incapable of administering the estate left him by the late Bartholomew Carter.

And we will prove from the testimony of witnesses that not only is Mr. Bender incapable of administering the estate, But that might be better for him and for the public at large, if he were confined in an institution.

And we're sure you'll agree that the action of the petitioner, Miss Adelaide Grindinger, is more than justified. For our first witness, Dr. Martha Day. Dr. Martha Day to the stand, please. Dr. Martha Day. To tell truth, whole truth, not with the truth.

I do. You say it. Thank you. Counsel for the petitioner, may proceed. Thank you, Your Honor. Your name is Martha Day. That's right. And you've been practicing for two weeks since your internship, I mean?

That's right. You realize, of course, Doctor, that this is not a criminal court, that we are only trying to ascertain the mental fitness of Mr. Bender. Yes, I understand. You're a psychoanalyst, are you not?
