Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Betty Davis and Charles Boye in All This and Heaven Two. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.
Some years ago, I owned a little white house on a hill high above Hollywood and rented it to a young lady who was just getting started in pictures. She always paid the rent on time and was in every respect, a model tenant.
It became increasingly evident as the Academy Awards piled up that she was a model actress too. Her name was Betty Davis. I've never been Charles Boyer's landlord, but I've admired his great talent ever since he came to Hollywood.
And so we believe tonight is one of the really great nights in the history of the Lux Radio theater, because we brought these two together in all this and Heaven too. One of brothers produced the screen success, but before that Rachel Fields novel was a best-seller for almost two years. It's a strange story. You've never heard one quite like it. A mixture of
tenderness and violence of love and hate, of jealousy and sacrifice. A mixture that explodes with an impact you'll remember for weeks to come. Every play in the Lux Radio Theatre is a national one-night stand. Just imagine what would happen if some Broadway theatre advertised Betty Davis and Charles Boye in All This and Heaven 2 for one night only. There'd be a riot
at the box office. But Lux Flakes has saved the riot squad a lot of trouble tonight by bringing this dramatic treat right into your own home. That's the reward you've earned by bringing Lux flakes into your own home, unless you're one of those lonely souls who haven't tried these magic flakes yet. If you are, well, you're just not getting full value out of this theatre
