05 Apr 2025

Description

In this episode of Family Theater, we delve into Mark Twain's classic tale, "The Prince and the Pauper," featuring performances by Roddy McDowell and Terry Kilburn. The story unfolds in 16th century London, where two boys, Prince Edward Tudor and the pauper Tom Canty, switch places, leading to a series of adventures that reveal the deceptive nature of appearances and the true meaning of nobility and mercy. As the boys navigate their new lives, they learn valuable lessons about justice, kindness, and the responsibilities of leadership.Hosted by Carlton Young, this adaptation highlights the timeless message that true greatness lies not in one's birth but in one's actions and character. The episode concludes with a reflection on the power of family prayer and the importance of humility, echoing Twain's sentiment that "mercy is not the prerogative of royalty alone, nor kindness only in hearts of princes." Join us for a journey through this heartwarming and thought-provoking story that continues to resonate with audiences today. Listen to our radio station Old Time Radio https://link.radioking.com/otradioListen to other Shows at My Classic Radio https://www.myclassicradio.net/Entertainment Radio | Broadcasting Classic Radio Shows | PatreonRemember that times have changed, and some shows might not reflect the standards of today’s politically correct society.
