The Outsider

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Frederick March and Florence Eldridge in the outsider with Douglas Montgomery. Lux presents Hollywood. This program made possible because of your friendship for our products. Tonight brings you Frederick March, Florence Eldridge, Douglas Montgomery, Donald Criss, and Marcel Caudet in the stage in screen success, the outsider.

Also, behind the footlights of our theater here on Hollywood Boulevard are two special guests, Miss Anne Bockens, who tells us our motion pictures are edited, and Milton H. Berry, who, like the central figure of our play, is devoting his life to an amazing treatment for cripples.

Our conductor, Lewis Silver. And now, here is our producer. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille! Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The banks in recent years have had their ups and downs, but they suffered their severest loss when Frederick March became an actor.

A surgeon removed Fred's appendix and his desire for banking at the same time. Up till then he'd sat behind a desk at the National City Bank of New York, but during his convalescence he realized that he'd rather be behind the footlights.

Even before then Fred had longings for the theater. Of all the laurels he accumulated at the University of Wisconsin, where he was honor student, manager of the football team and class president, none meant as much to Fred as the University of Wodeville Cup, which he won for putting on the best variety act.

He met and married Florence Eldridge while they were playing together in stock. Then as tonight they will coast hard. Lovers of the legitimate theatre will be delighted to learn that this fall, Frederick March and Florence Eldridge, will leave their Beverly Hills home for a while and return to the New York stage.
