Transcript

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett with Wayne Morris and Andrea Leeds in Kid Gellerhead. Lux presents Hollywood. Our play, based on the original story by Francis Wallace, is the drama of a boxer's manager and of the two girls who love the boxer.

Starring our Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett with Wayne, Morris and Andrea Leeds. While between the acts we'll hear two of the most spectacular champions the ring is ever known. Jack Dempsey and Jean Tunney, Lewis Silvers conducts our music. We present the producer of the Lux Radio Theatre. Ladies and gentlemen Mr.

Cecil B. Jamill. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. I think the good Saint Nicholas must have dropped the Lux Radio Theater one of its Christmas gifts a little early, because tonight we have Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Wayne Morris and Andrea Leeds in that invigorating saga of flying fists, kid Gallahad.

Mr. Robinson is a collector and a fight fan. He's collected the choicest adjectives of the critics for years, while his favorite collections nowadays are his pipes, his first editions, magnificent paintings and the remarks of his young son. His enthusiasm for boxing gives him the background for his polished portrayal of a fighter's manager, the role he played

on the screen in Kid Yala Head, and repeats tonight as Nick Donate. Nick's particular friend in the play is called Fluff. Out of the play she's called Joan Bennett, and one of Hollywood's loveliest ladies. Her five feet three inches are topped by blue eyes and blond hair, and her constant companion is a spaniel named Lux, believe it or not.
