Mux presents Hollywood. The Mux Radio Theatre brings UK Francis and Warren William in my bill. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight, we follow the fortunes of a gallant woman, a symbol of all those gallant women who faced the world alone, and found happiness for themselves and for their children. I think perhaps we've all known someone like Mary Colbrook in the play My Bill, hers is the brand of courage and devotion for which mothers are famous.
Her story is a tribute to the love and sacrifice of all mothers the world over. But Mary Colbrook is a typically American mother, and tonight you'll hear her played by a typically American star, K. Francis.
It's the part she played in the Warner Brothers picture, a performance that had all the warmth and understanding of Mary Cobre, herself. So I'm not surprised that you've been asking to hear Kay play the same part at this microphone.
And co-starring with Kay, we present Warren William, who's back on this stage after too long an absence. You know we get a good many definite instructions from you every week. Not just as we do the comments and criticisms.
And one of the most frequent comments from members of this audience is that after listening to the Lux Radio Theatre for a few Monday nights, they feel they'd like to take out a regular membership.
So they buy a cake of Lux toilets soap for the first time. And that's a noble gesture. And the beginning of a pretty good habit too. One cake always deserves another, and another another another another another.
