My Son My Son

Lux presents Hollywood. Lux Radio Theatre brings you Brian Ahern, Madeline Carroll, Lewis Hayward, and Josephine Hutchinson in My Son, My Son. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Not long ago, a novel by Howard Spring called My Son, My Son, rolled up an impressive record at the booksellers box office. It was a powerful book, a dual love story with characters so real and sharp that the public itself began to cast the motion picture that was sure to be made, and it was made by producer

Edward Small. The picture will be released nationally by United Artists within a few weeks, and tonight we invite you to hear our radio adaptation of My Son, My Son, with the same stars you'll see on the screen.

Brianna Hearn, Madeleine Carroll, Lewis Haywood, and Josephine Hutchinson. It's a real thrill to me week after week to invite you who use luckstoillate soap to the radio premiere of plays like My Son, My Son.

But the women in our audience know that every week and every day there's another invitation from luckstoillate soap, an invitation to beauty. Two of our stars covered some thousands of miles in reaching this stage tonight.

Madeline Carroll, who came back from Europe to star for me with Gary Cooper in Northwest Mounted Police, arrived just in time to do double duty by recreating her original role in tonight's play. Brian Ahern, after many consecutive months before the camera, had gone to New York on an actor's holiday.

He was vacationing on Broadway, seeing plays. With the assistance of the telephone, we persuaded Brian that he was on the wrong side of the footlights. We saw one more matinee and flew back to Hollywood post-haste to rehearse for tonight's production.
