Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your loyalty to Lux Flakes and Lux Toilets. A loyalty which makes it possible for our sponsors to bring you the Lux Radio Theater.

Our program tonight features Ginger Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in Brief Moments, with Nigel Bruce, Louis Calhern and Paul Harvey. They're also host to Jimmy Starr, noted Hollywood columnist. Lewis Silver's directs our music. And now, our program opens with word from our producer.

That's celebrated personality. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. I don't understand you. Don't you? I suppose you realize that this girl has fallen in love with you. Who said so? Your mother told me.

She's quite worried about it. Ridiculous. Perhaps. But I'm not interested in that. What I want to know is, are you in love with her? Angela, are you, Mac? Of course not. Whatever puts such nonsense into your head.

The only reason I'm interested in this girl is that she can supply me with material for my novel. Well, I just wanted to make sure, Mac, because, well, people are beginning to talk. I don't see why.

No? You think this creature of yours is an innocent young lamb, don't you? A tender flower blooming in the slums. Well, she isn't. What? She isn't. I've taken the trouble to find out. You suppose that the night you found her in the court was the first time she'd been arrested?

You mean she's been arrested before that? Of course. On what charge? Suppose we call it... It was out. But to make it more sure, she adds, I boiled an egg hard, and took out the yolk and filled it with salt.
