Transcript
Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Frank Craven, William Holden, Martha Scott, Faye Bainter, Fula Bandi, Thomas Mitchell, Guy Gibby and Stuart Erwin in Our Town. Our Town is the famous Pulitzer Prize play which made stage history in New York and will soon be released as a motion picture, a stirring human drama of American life.
But before turning the microphone over to our producer, may I remind you that tonight's play is presented by the the makers of lux flakes, those gentle flakes that women everywhere are so enthusiastic about. These days they are more enthusiastic than ever, because inside that familiar lux box you all know so well is the wonderful new quick lux, just as gentle as ever, so thrifty
because a little goes so far and almost unbelievably fast. In water as cool as your hand, it's three times as fast in dissolving as any of ten other the leading soaps tested. Get a big box tomorrow and enjoy the instant rich suds you get. They're such perfect care for stockings, under things, other nice
things. For everything safe and plain water, you quick-lucks is really wonderful. It's in the same familiar package and it doesn't cost you a cent more. And now ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood Ladies and gentlemen, many of us who live in big towns, reserve a corner of our hearts for some small town.
For the schoolhouse on the hill, the elms that line the streets, the sound of old familiar church bells on a Sunday morning. Wherever it is in Indiana, Idaho, New Hampshire, each one of us goes back to his hometown tonight as we listen to the play called Our Town.
