That presents Hollywood. The Lutz radio theater brings you Carol Lombard and James Stewart in The Moon's Our Home. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille, greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. I seem to remember telling a certain young lady a few years ago that she'd never get anywhere in pictures.
I believe I said she didn't take herself seriously enough. Well, I've farmed since eating those words about Carol Lombard. And tonight we bow low, and welcome her to the Lux Radio Theatre on the arm of James Stewart, a co-star in the captivating comedy, The Moon's Our Home.
Paramount gave it to the screen, and we give it to you now as our prescription for raising your spirit at least 100%. It's a madcap love story of two famous and rather temperamental people. One a screen star, the other a combination, author and explorer.
I know you'll approve our casting of Carol Lombard and James Stewart for these parts. And we have a great respect for you who are out there beyond the footlights, a great respect for your choice of plays and players, and your constructive criticism of this theatre.
And another thing we respect is your good opinion of Lux Flakes. What pleases me is that so many of you are self-appointed members of our research staff, because each week a large number of you tell us about some new use that you've discovered for our product. I'm sure you all learned that you can depend on Lux Flakes, all except
perhaps a very few who haven't tried it yet. And I hope those few will learn in the very near future. Say the first thing tomorrow morning. But the first thing on this schedule now is to raise the curtain on Act 1 of the Moons Our Home, starring James Stewart as Anthony Amberton and Carol Lombard as Cherry Chester.

James Stewart appeared tonight through the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor, and is currently seen in this studio's production, Come Live With Me. Carol Lombard's current screen hit is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the RKO production which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Heard in tonight's play were Clara Blantik as Lucy, Bernafelten as Boise, Hans Conrad as Horace, Lou Merrill as Hallbrook, Charles Seale as Justice of the Peace, Ralph Sedan as Abner, Stanley Ferrara as Coachman, Gloria Blondell as Hilda, James Heagles as Hotel Clerk, Jack Carr as Porter, Celeste Rush as Miss Manning, and Noreen Gamil as Mrs. Simpson.
The brooch offered you by the makers of Lux Flakes was designed from one worn and gone with the wind, the Selznick International Picture produced by David O. Selznick and released by Metro Golden Mayor. Our music is directed by Louis Silvers, and your announcer has been Melville Ruhick.
