The Great Lie

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux video theater brings you Loretta Young, George Brent and Mary Oster in The Great Buy. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Great stars are born, not made. But like the mechanic and the carpenter, they too must learn their trade. Loretta Young played her first part when she was four years old. George Brent started to learn about acting at 18.

Mary Astor began her picture career at the mature age of 14. And a few days ago, while our play was in rehearsal, Ms. Astor won the Academy Award for the finest performance by her supporting actress during the past year.

That winning performance on the screen was in the same part she plays tonight on the air. I like to work with people who have records like that. like that. I like to produce radio plays and make pictures with them. Just give a trio of stars like these three, a play like The Great Lie, and it's a joy to watch the finished

production take form and assume reality. Tonight's drama is adapted from The Warner Brothers Picture, a story that cuts to the heart of a very human situation. Two women in love with the same man. Disaster hangs over the head of one woman, the other holds the strings that can bring it down upon our arrival with

a crash. It's the eternal triangle but a brand new design, one that brought picture audiences crooping to the theatres to see the great lie. You know there's something more to making pictures than the artistic side. There's also the all-important business side. And I think one of the finest compliments ever paid to Lux Flakes is that it plays the same role
