Wuthering Heights

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Barbara Stanley, Brian Ahern, and Ida Lupino in Wuthering Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's play is a powerful gripping tale.

Written by a girl whose life was as bleak as the sombre Yorkshire moors where the story is laid. It's already stirred many millions, as it will tug at your heartstrings tonight. And it's an actual fact that you, our listeners, are producing it, for it was your letters asking for weathering heights that started me in pursuit of it.

May I read you one of the many letters requesting Emily Bronti's masterpiece? This letter says, I'm wondering, would you, could you give us weathering heights? If I thought my request could be granted, I should be through to the skies.

I think it's one of the greatest love stories that's ever been told, and leaves you with something to think about. Then our fair correspondent adds, with a twinkle in a pen, if weathering heights is staged, I shall use two cakes of Lux toilets open each week instead of one.

It's very gratifying to me that the products behind this theatre, Lux toilets open, Lux flakes, are of such incomparably high standards that I have no hesitation in asking you to purchased them, and now just a word about how I came to cast tonight's play. The part of Cathy requires great talent in an actress, but above all it demands sincerity, and that

alone was enough to make Barbara stand with our choice. I telephoned Barbara at our ranch to ask if she'd like to do weathering heights, and found she was playing nurse in one of the stables where a blessed event had just taken place. Barbara reported that both mother and son were doing nicely, and gave me a confidential tip that the son looked like a sure winner
