Transcript

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Carol Lombard and Basil Rathbun in That Certain Woman with Jeffrey Lin. Nuts present Hollywood. Our play tonight is a drama of a girl against circumstance. A girl whose future is ruled by her past, but who finally finds a new tomorrow of hope and happiness.

Stared in That Certain Woman, produced with great success on the screen by Warner Brothers, our Carol Lombard, Basil Rathbun, and Jeffrey Lin. Mr. Edmund Goulding, the distinguished Hollywood director who wrote and directed the screenplay, is our special guest, while Lewis Silvers conducts our music.

Just a word before turning our program over to Mr. DeMille. May I remind you that a beauty care used for the most famous complexions in the world has to be very special. Well, Luxe toilet soap is.

Nine out of ten screen stars use this gentle soap because it has active lather, lather that remove stale cosmetics, dust and dirt thoroughly from the pores. Try it. See how soft and smooth it leaves your skin.

And now, our producer, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Halloween greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. This is a night of masquerade when millions of mummels, young and old, uncolleful disguises and startling attire.

And Carol Lombard also changes her spots. The atrocious speaking, she puts aside the droll mask of comedy and bows to the public in the cloak of drama. Miss Lombard's decision to forsake slapstick for drama may surprise many of you, for it comes on the heels of lavish displays in the magazines, celebrating her as the reigning

queen of sophisticated laughter. But this Lombard is as wise as she is witty. With a sharp eye on the future, she's sighted the end of the madcap comedy cycle, and has chosen the Lux Radio Theatre as the opening scene of a new chapter in her career, with Miss Lombard its drama from now on, at least for a while.
