The Corn Is Green

Great scenes from great plays with your host Walter Hamden and starring tonight Miss Jane Cowell in the Corn is Green. On behalf of the Episcopal families in your own community and the Episcopal Actors Guild, welcome to another half hour of dramatic inspiration transcribed from great plays of our American Theatre. I present your host the distinguished actor manager, Mr. Walter Hamden.

Thank you and good evening. I'm particularly fond of the story we're going to recreate tonight because it's one that proves the miracle of courage and the satisfaction of achievement. It's the Corn is Green by Emmeline Williams and here to portray the remarkable and lovable character of Miss Moffatt, I'm happy to have you meet the distinguished artist, Miss Jane Cowell.

Thank you, Walter, and good evening friends. The role of Miss Moffatt in the Corn is has always held her soft spot in my heart. Every woman will sympathize with her weakness. Every man will admire her strength.

And I like to think that her counterpart exists in many a city, town and hamlet, perhaps just around the corner from you. Yes, Jane, and for that reason I'm sure we'll all have something pleasant to share.

So let us raise the curtain now, on the corn is green, starring Jane Cowell as Miss Moffatt, with Richard wearing as Morgan Evans. Our scene, the small coal mining village of Blensano, nestled in the remote rolling hills of Wales.

Its people are happy, though poor, but they are cut off from learning by the iron hand of poverty that governs their existence. Into this bleak setting comes a courageous woman, a teacher named Miss Moffatt.

You already enlisted the aid of a local woman. Miss Waffert-Muffet has rolled up her sleeves. Now tell me Miss Ron Brie, you've lived here all your life. How many families are there around here? Families?
