Nothing Sacred

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and John Bennett in Nothing Sacred. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Jamill. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Once upon a time, our own time, right now, there was a little nobody who suddenly found herself rich, famous and in love. That's the story of Hazel Flag in Nothing Sacred. And compared to her story, the adventures of Cinderella were as routine as a timetable.

One day Hazel Flag is living a highly unexciting life in a quiet little village. A day later she's off on a mad whirl of New York, the toast of the town, a national idol, and the object of publicity so vast that even Hollywood must gape in astonishment.

He didn't want to be famous. Her only desire was a trip to the big city, but her little innocent deception went so far wrong that she lost control of her life and, of course, her heart.

Our bewildered heroine is played by the very lovely Joan Bennett. And as the originator of all her adventures, you'll hear Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in the part of a newspaper reporter whose talent for reporting the news is surpassed only by his genius for making it.

Many of you have asked for this play and these stars in your letters, and the postman is our number one advisor in this theatre. Not long ago he brought us a letter from one of the women of our audience that's almost an adventure story in itself.

She wrote, I traveled to Alaska recently by the Yukon River route. At the junction of the Yukon and the Big Salmon River, the quantity of freight was unloaded from the stern-wheel steamer, White Horse. with sugar, flour, rice, and hardware, I saw a case of luxe toilet soap, with a shore.
