The Enchanted Cottage

Great scenes from great plays with your host Walter Hamden and starring tonight Miss Jean Tierney in the Enchanted Cotted. On behalf of the families of the Protestant Episcopal Church in your own community and the Episcopal Actors Guild, we welcome you to another half hour of great scenes from great plays, transcribed by famous artists of stage screen and radio.

And now I present your host, the distinguished actor manager, Mr. Walter Pandon. Thank you and good evening. Tonight we have one of the most charming love stories to be written in the past 50 years.

We've often heard the expression, love is where you find it. And I suspect we could go on to say where there is love, there is beauty. I am sure that Arthur Wing Penero, who wrote the enchanted cottage, had these thoughts strongly entrenched in his mind when he sat down to write this story of two disillusioned young

people who fought their way to happiness. Here to play the role of the kindly Laura Pennington is the beautiful and talented screen star, Miss Jean Tierney. Thank you very much, Mr. Hamden. And I'd like to thank the Episcopal Actors Guild for inviting me to join you tonight.

I don't know when I've had an opportunity to play the part of so forthright and sincere of Christmas, Laura Pennington. But more especially, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have you join us in the role of Major Hillgrove.

Well, thank you, Jean. Now let's raise the curtain, starting Jean Tierney as Laura with Richard Waring as Oliver in the Enchanted Cottage. Whenever Lola Pennington came to call on me, I promised myself I would not again use the word kind to her.
