The Life of Emile Zola

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Paul Muni in the life of Emil Zola with Josephine Hutchinson and as guest producer Mr. Leslie Howard. Lux presents Hollywood. To the thousands of loyal listeners who wouldn't miss a Monday night with us, to the thousands of women who insist on Lux Flakes, we extend our grateful thanks.

It is your loyalty to our product that makes these programs possible and it is your purchases of Lux Lakes that have made Lux the world's largest selling package soap for fine fabrics. Women everywhere depend on gentle Lux for their own and the children's things because they know Lux lives up to its famous promise, it's safe for everything safe and water alone.

Our play tonight, filmed by Warner Brothers and winner of the Academy Award, is the drama of one who challenged the world with his writings and fought fearlessly with the spoken word in the cause of justice, Emil Zola.

Mr. Paul Muni, who created the role on the screen, will repeat his performance, and with him, you'll hear Josephine Hutchinson. Lewis Silvers conducts our music, and our special guest, Between the Acts, is the man who directed the film version of our play, Mr. William Dieterley.

Our regular producer Cecil B. DeMille will be back with us again next Monday night. Filling his place is the star and co-director of Pig Meillen, who is in Hollywood for the filming of his current picture Gone with the Wind, and who has been here during the past week preparing tonight's production. Ladies and gentlemen, our guest producer, Mr Leslie Howard.

Thank you Mr. Rourke. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is an exceptional evening. We have an exceptional star. We have an exceptional play. Paul Muni in the life of Emil Zola. I doubted the screen has ever known an actor who drives himself harder than tonight's star.
