A Man to Remember

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Bob Burns and Anita Louise in A Man to Remember. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille, ratings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

This is the story of an undecorated hero, a country doctor. In tonight's play adapted from the archaeo picture, A Man to Remember, we tell the story as it happened to a certain Dr. John Abbott in a town called Westport, but there's a whole army of Dr. Abbots, an army that covers more territory than the Northwest Mounted Police, and each man labors alone. The country doctor

made a little grumbling when the telephone rings in the middle of the night, but who wouldn't if he hadn't known a solid night's sleep in twenty years. He may not have his house painted as often as the neighbors would like, but perhaps the neighbors don't pay him as often as he he would like. Few things happen in this town that John Abbot doesn't know about. So his

story is a dozen stories of success and failure and love and hate and heartbreak. And we are proud to have this loyal servant of the people as the subject of tonight's play. We are also proud of the loyalty of our listeners. In buying Lux flakes you applaud these performances, and the performance of Lux flakes in your homes, applauds your judgment. That's one performance

that always gets rave notices. Bob Burns is so much like the John Abbott of tonight's play, that it might be a mere accident that places him on our stage instead of in a doctor's office in Van Buren, Arkansas.

Perhaps Bob would have made a good doctor, but that would have been Hollywood's loss. As Jean the doctor's daughter, we have Anita Louise, and any doctor would be proud to have a daughter as lovely as Anita.
