Transcript

Much presents Hollywood. Much Radio Theater brings you Lionel Burnemore and Eta Louise and Glenn Ford in a man to remember. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille, greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen, and greetings to the armed forces of the United States, all over the world, who hear the Lux Radio Theater through short waves and other special facilities.

Tonight, we honor a good and faithful servant. He presides at our entrance into this world and at our exit into the next. He fights our mortal enemy disease. He banishes our pain, brings us rest, and earns a fortune in unpaid bills.

He is the hero who has sworn the sacred oath of Hippocrates, that he will lead his life and practice his art in uprightness and honor. And whatsoever house he shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of his power, and that whatsoever he shall see or hear of the lives of men which is not fitting

to be spoken. He will keep in violently secret. Tonight's play is one of the finest tributes I know to the American family doctor. RKO made the motion picture, and for our production of a man to remember this evening, we've selected a cast I'm sure you'll remember.

Lionel Balmor, Anita Louise, and Glen Ford. Lionel Balmor has just finished playing another doctor for a Metro Golden Mayor, calling Dr. Gillespie. You know, producing a different play every week is something like spending your whole life on an exploring trip.

There's a surprise or a thrill around every turn. But no matter how interesting the job may be to us, it isn't really well done unless we can thrill you with these plays which Luxe toilet soap brings you each Monday night.
