Transcript

Tonight Lady Esther takes great pride in presenting the Screen Guild players in a gentle and tender story of two very real young people. The Warner Brothers picture Saturdays Children, based on the famous play by Maxwell Anderson.

It stars John Garfield as Rems, Jane Wyman as Bobby, and Michael Repetto as Bobby's father. The Lady Esther Screen Guild players in Saturdays Children. We're the people who live like we do, uptown in New York.

And it's not the smallest place in the world, but I wouldn't say it was the worst. At least you're always in touch with your neighbors, like the Jensen baby. And Mr. McReady. Oh, my shut up!

That morning was a little different though. A Monday morning when I was starting a new job at Martin's mail order company where my dad's been working for 16 years. Now a girl doesn't start a job every morning, so of course I was getting along.

Of course I was getting a lot of suggestions from Mother. Bobby, you better wake your father up. This morning at least he could be on time. And my sister, Florie, who lives with us. Kid, take my advice and wear something flinky.

Who knows when the boss's son might walk in. And my sister, Florie, has been Willie, who also happened to live with us. Bobby, it ain't fair you should look so pretty. Some guy might fall in love with you.

And if you fall in love, you'll marry him. And you shouldn't do it after someone you like. The dad was the only one who didn't tell me what to do. In fact, he hardly said anything until we were walking down to get the bus.
