One Foot in Heaven

Are you caring enough to send the very best? Tonight from Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark Freaking Cards bring you George Brent in Heartsell Spencer's One Foot in Heaven 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 distinguish novelist Mr. James Hilton. Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we present a dramatization of One Foot in Heaven by Hartsel Spence. This is a warm and human story about a good man.

You know stories about good people are very often good stories because goodness is really an exciting thing as we on the Playhouse have often found in our dramatizations of such men as the Doctor and the Schoolmaster.

Tonight we give you the story of a clergyman, a Methodist preacher who lived and worked in Iowa. Actually, in this book, Mr. Spence is telling the true story of his own father, so it isn't surprising that there's a warm affection in the way he depicts this truly Christian gentleman who, as Mr. Spence says, had one foot in heaven and one foot on God's green earth.

We have been fortunate in securing for the starting role that fine actor, Mr. George Brent. And now, Frank Goss, have you a word about Hallmark? There are Hallmark cards for every memorable occasion on your calendar, for birthdays and One of us are his holidays.

Yes, for every occasion that calls for a remembrance for a friendly greeting, a word of good cheer, an expression of sympathy. There is a hallmark card that says just what you want to say, the way you want to say it.
