The Doctor Takes a Wife

The Lux Radio Theatre. America Tonight, this inspired music, lifts every heart to new patriotism. As all of us join all of you in pledging full allegiance to our country.

We've asked the Columbia Broadcasting System to interrupt our program tonight with any important news developments. We here in the Lux Radio Theatre, as well as you who are listening, to keep in touch with any and all events bearing upon this national emergency. In the meantime, this theatre carries on as usual, which as you know is one of the oldest and

finest traditions of the theatre. Tonight the Luxoratios Theatre brings you Melvin Douglas and Virginia Bruce, and the doctor takes a wife. A motley parade of characters from all walks of life constantly pass and review on the American screen, rich man, poor man, beggar man thief, and every other kind of people that it takes to make a world. For judging from box office records, perhaps the

most dramatic of the whole lot, for some reason that I leave to you, is the doctor. He seems to exert even more fascination over the American people than the cowboy and the aviator. And perhaps, perhaps Columbia Picture had this in mind, when they filmed the doctor takes a wife. It's the story of a doctor who suddenly finds himself married to an author, a beautiful

young lady author, who has just made a fortune out of a book telling other young ladies the advantages of not getting married at all. And that's such an embarrassing set of circumstances that it makes a perfect beginning for a comedy. This play will put you in the proper frame of mind to do your Christmas shopping, so you'd better get started on that pretty soon,
