My Favorite Wife

Luxe present Hollywood. The Luxe Radio Theatre brings you Rosalind Russell, Lawrence Olivier, and Gail Patrick in my favorite wife. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil D. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight we bring you a modern comedy based on an old-fashioned idea, the notion that woman's place is in the home. Of course, only a brave man would argue that point with a woman nowadays, but tonight two two women argue it with each other. In the play my favorite wife, Rosalind Russell and Gayo Patrick, both want the woman's place in Lawrence Olivier's home. And all he can

do about it is let the best woman win. Miss Russell, who's here from Metro Gorgon Mayor, plays a feminine Enochard, like the sailor in Tennyson's poem, she returns after being shipwrecked on an island, to find that her lawful wedded mate believes her dead and has married again. You remember that Enoch Arden was a self-sacrificing soul. When he found another

man in his place, he went quietly on his way. But when Ellen Arden, our shipwrecked lady tonight, finds another woman in her place, she puts up a whale of a fight. Perhaps that's the woman's angle. Or maybe it's just because Leo McCarry, instead of Lord Tennyson, produced the RKO screen success. There's a trend these days toward gay romances like my favorite wife.

But perhaps you've noticed that Hollywood has been making more musicals, too. That has a far-reaching effect than you might guess. More musicals mean more girls in the cast. More girls mean more stockings, so the wardrobe departments look after.

And as our wardrobe man was telling me the other day, that means more lux flakes used at the studio. With the studio wardrobe department, that's a matter of shrewd business. And of course, that credits all of you who use Lux flakes with shrewd business judgment too.
