To the Ladies

Lux presents Hollywood. Radio Theatre brings you Helen Hayes and Otto Kruger in To The Ladies. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Special greeting tonight to the ladies. And even more especially to one lady. The first lady of the American Theatre, Miss Helen Hayes. Upon her dainty shoulders, she wears the mantle of dramatic greatness, and in her slim hand she holds the key to all our hearts.

We asked her to do the play to the ladies because it was one of her biggest Broadway hits. When she arrived at our stage door for the first rehearsal, we had Otto Kruger here to greet her.

Otto was her leading man in the New York production and he plays his original role tonight. To the ladies is a romantic comedy written by two of the country's favorite playwrights, George S. Kauffman and Mark Connolly. Perhaps I should say it's a realistic comedy.

Because the two men who wrote it have proved to all men that this is a woman's world. Naturally we dedicate our play to the ladies. And it's brought to you by Lux Flakes, a product that's dedicated to the ladies. Lux Flakes works from son to son to see that woman's work gets done. And now for an advanced course in romance and diplomacy we raise the curtain

in Act 1 of To The Ladies, starring Helen Hayes as Elsie and Otto Kruger as Leonard. Punctuality plus niechmus plus honest endeavor equals success. This is the golden rule of the Kincaid Piano Company, the keynote we might say of its prosperity. It's 9am on the dot. A hundred minor clerks arriving in the nick of time with bright and shining
