Bedtime Story

This is S.S.A.B. DeMille in Hollywood. Wherever three or four of America's fighting men are gathered together, that's the front row of the Lux Radio Theatre tonight. Some weeks ago, we asked you to tell us what plays you'd like to hear.

You said, give us bright lights and drama and laughter and romance. So that request our answer is bedtime story. With two of our town's most popular players, and they're right here with me now, Now, Loretta Young and Dana Mitchie.

Good evening, boys. We know that our play can't compare an importance with the tremendous drama you're putting on out there. But if it amuses and it detains you for an hour between the acts of the big show, well, that's all we ask.

You soldiers, sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen are the stars of that big show. We can't tell you how long it will last, but knowing you, we do know who will win. We salute you all.

and from Iceland to Shangri-La. Lutz presents Hollywood. The Lutz Radio Theater brings you Loretta Young and Darnamichi in Bedtime Story. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.

The stage door of a great Broadway playhouse stands open. And tonight's play takes you inside for a close up of the theater. The theater with a star is very beautiful and the playwright is very brilliant.

But just below the surface of all this glamour is a powder cake, and the spark is provided by the fact that the beautiful star and the brilliant playwright are married to each other. Listen for the explosion.

The play is bedtime story, and the stars are Danamichi and Loretta Young, who gave one of her finest performances in the Columbia picture. In our play, the famous playwright and actress are about to retire, with a career full of honors and a bank account full of money.
