Transcript

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck's Radio Theatre brings you Barbara Stammick, Ray Meland and Charles Corbin in the Lady Eve. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight, the Luck's Radio Theatre will be curtailed to 45 minutes so that we may all hear the President of the United States, Vice President Wallace and Secretary of Agriculture, Rickert, keep tuned to this station and you will be sure to hear them.

Now the curtain and the first act of the Lady Eve, starring Barbara Stanley as Jean Harrington, Ray Milan as Charles Pike and Charles Coburn as Colonel Harrington.
