His Girl Friday

Luck present Hollywood. The Luck radio theater brings you Claudette Colbert and Fred McMurray in his Girl Friday with Jack Carson. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

And that goes double for the ladies and gentlemen of the press. Because we feel a slight pang of regret for what we're about to do to them. It's been rumored that they don't ordinarily behave as our play tonight would indicate, but we gaily beg their indulgence on the ground that his girl Friday is an exceptional case.

Tonight we present a Lady of the Press in the engaging person of Grode at Colbert and a gentleman of the same profession played by Fred McMurray, a perfect team for the hectic happenings of the next hour.

And right now I'm going to give away a trade secret about this comedy. Most of you will remember a famous play about the newspaper business called the Front Page. Well, any resemblance between that play and his girl Friday is no coincidence but entirely intentional.

This Columbia screen hit produced by Harry Cohn and Sam Briskin was based on the front page, but certain differences make it practically a new story. Hilde Johnson, the hero, used to be a man. Tonight, Hilde is a lady, a very charming lady, to go that cobalt.

burns the autocrat of the editorial rooms is just as autocratic as ever with Fred MacBarry in the past, and between rapid adventures with an escaped maniac or crooked sheriff or last minute reprieve and a kidnapped mother-in-law, they even managed to find time for romance.

I'm sure every woman will agree that the silent partner of romance is lovelin, and that's why so many millions of women choose lux toilet soap. They know that lux toilet soap is a very active partner of love letters. Now a quick signal to the switchboard, the footlights Brighton and the curtain rises on the first act of his girl Friday,
