The Girl from Tenth Avenue

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Loretta Young and George Brent in The Girl from 10th Avenue. Lux presents Hollywood. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Lux Radio Theater. The theater made possible by your loyal purchases of those fine products, lux, toilets, soap, and lux flakes.

Tonight, Loretta Young and George Brent bring you a play of strange romance, a drama of crashing environments. The love story of a girl who lived on the wrong side of the tracks, and of a man whose wealth and social position stood between them.

As special guests, our program also features Mrs. Emily Post, the most famous authority in the world on etiquette. Lower Silvers conduct our orchestra. And now, your host, the producer of the Lux Radio Theatre. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Three years ago when I made the Crusades, Loretta Young was starred as Baron Garrier, not the ocean liner, but Baron Garrier wife of Richard the Lionheart, the only Queen of England who never set foot on angry soil.

When the day to start the film arrived, there was no Miss Young. Maroon by a blizzard on the 14,000 foot heights of Mount Rainier, where she was making the call of the wild, her Hollywood arrival was delayed for weeks.

I had hundreds of players on salary, so was forced to proceed without her and made the giant battle scenes. When Loretta finally arrived, I started back at the beginning of the picture, but unfortunately for me the warfare had been so realistic that nearly all the players' costumes were ruined, so tattered and torn that not even luck's flakes could restore them.
