The Long Love

Remember a hallmark card when you carry up to send the very best. From Hollywood, the makers of hallmark greeting cards bring you Van Johnson in John Sages the Long Love on the Hallmark Playhouse. Each week Hallmark will bring you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors.

They distinguished novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we present our dramatization of a story by John Sege's called The Long Love. Becoming Season of Easter, a happy and a hopeful festival, is an appropriate time to tell the story of a family who is affectioned, deepened and increased with the years, not

so much in spite of the troubles that cropped up from time to time as because of them. A happy marriage, Mr. Sege seems to say, is not the one in which the partners merely live happily ever after, but one in which they work together, forging their union out of joys and sorrows alike.

To play the part of our hero we have chosen one of Hollywood's most popular young actors, Van Johnson. And now a word about Hallmark-Carts from Frank Goss before we begin the first act of John Sages the Long Love.

For every occasion important to your friends and loved ones, there are Hallmark-Carts to carry your thoughts across the miles, across the years, often merely across the way. It's important in these fast-moving days when families and friends are separated on short notice when a word of thoughtfulness can mean so much.

On special days and every day a hallmark card says what you want to say, the way you want to say it, and that identifying hallmark on the back as always says you cared enough to send the very best.
