Peg O My Heart

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theatre presents Mary and Davies and Brian Ahern in Pegamy Heart. Let's present Hollywood. This is your program, ladies and gentlemen, made possible by your regular purchases of our products.

It comes to you with the good wishes of our sponsors, who tonight bring you Mary and Davies, Brian Ahern, Benita Hume, J. Farrell McDonald, Eileen Pringle, Gerald Oliver Smith, and Ed Gannaughton in Pegamy Heart.

Our guests are Earl Johnson, famous trainer of motion picture dogs and Marjorie Williams, director of the Hollywood Studio Club. Conducting our office is Louis Silvers. And now, here's our producer, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Marion Davies has given Hollywood two things for which the town may be thankful. A good fellowship which has inspired so much loyalty and a great white landmark on the the oceanfront, her home at Santa Monica Beach.

A quiet little gathering there may mean from 30 to 1,000 guests. And they include princes, giants of business, statesmen, and the nation's leading social rights, all being quite themselves under the still of their charming and unassuming hostess.

I've seen prominent ambassadors play ping pong in the cellar and a world-renowned scientist romping with Marianne's four dachshunds. She's forbidden me to mention that she's active in a number of charities, so I should pretend I didn't mention it.

Aside from that she grows hundreds of flowers and engages in the business affairs of cosmopolitan studios. Tonight she plays a role in which she always excels. Hake in Pegermajat. Opposite her is that very resolute young man, Brian Ahern.

For years Brian struggled against becoming a star. He'd all began when at the age of three his mother practically thrust him on the stage. and showed his displeasure by howling throughout the entire performance. Still a rebel, he was enrolled in a London dramatic school at 10.
