Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux, Silent Soul, bring to you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Michael Renney and Jean Peters in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings.

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, there is never a present question that has puzzled an intrigued our world for centuries. Is there life on any of the other planets? So in tonight's play we will tell you of a possible momentous event in our future.

The arrival of this planet on this planet of a man from the outer space, the day the earth stood still. And as our stars are this provocative drama from twentieth century Fox, we have one of their fastest rising stars, Michael Renney, co-starring with that outstanding actress, Gene Peters.

But maybe some of the ladies don't feel quite the same way. You probably never want to see another dish or glass that needs to be washed. On the other hand, perhaps you were as lucky as the carpenters.

Just rinse, stack, and you're done. Luxe liquid's special formula actually dissolves the grease right off plates, and yet it's mild on your hands. Luxe mild. And the can it comes in is something out of the ordinary too.
