Midnight

Lux presents Hollywood. A Lux Radio Theatre brings you Claudette Colbert and Donna Meachie in midnight. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Our play tonight is the comedy of a gay masquerade, and of a reckoning that comes as it must to all masquerades when the clock strikes twelve. It's the story of a young lady who completely hoodwinks international society, but can't deceive her own heart. And that turns her adventure into a love story.

The United States has entertained a good many counterfeit titles from Europe, so perhaps it's only squaring accounts if an American girl takes the title of Baroness and makes the more or less polite society of Europe entertain her. And when the bogus Baroness is Claudette Colbert, of course any sensible European without do himself to place the continent

at her feet. Claudette and Donna Meetschi starred together in Paramount's Delight for Motion Picture production of Midnight, and we didn't even try to improve on that kind of casting. Claudette comes to us before going back to work at Paramount in the picture Arise My Love.

As her relentless pursuer, Donna Meetschi takes the wheel of one of the most terrifying machines in the world, a French taxi cab. And that's a perfect setup for a gay hoyle through the boulevards and bright lights of the Paris of a few years ago.

Midnight is a play that will banish worry from the living room tonight, as efficiently as Lux Flakes always does from the kitchen. Millions of women already know that secret, but for the few who don't, Lux Flakes will be a wonderful discovery.
