Arise My Love

This is Cecil B. DeMille in Hollywood. From the stage of the Lux Radio Theatre, I can visualize an audience that stretches around the world. With you of the armed forces, go the hopes and prayers of your country.

Indeed, the hopes and prayers of the world. But you are not alone. You march in the shadow of 130 million people who stand united behind you. And as one small symbol of this unity, we bring you these...

Well, let's say letters from home. Letters in the form of the same entertainment you might enjoy if you were at home. Tonight the play is Arise My Love, and our two stars are here to speak to you now.

Loretta Young and Ray Meland. Thank you, Mr. Mill. I wish tonight that I could offer you a telephone, and on the other end of the line might be all the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and sweethearts, whose hearts have gone with you.

But even if I can't do that, I can say one thing, they would all say. America's proud of you. Yes, Loretta. Improving that pride with planes and tanks and guns and ships produced in a never-ending line by America's industrial might.

All those things say good luck better than words. And right now, you'll hear the familiar words that say hello from home. Luxe! Glucks, presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Loretta Young and Ray Milan in Arise My Love.

Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Arise My Love, My Fair One, and come away. So pleaded the poet in the song of Salomon. The modern twist is provided by the hero of tonight's play, a whisper that in the ear of his airplane every time he takes off.
