Lutz presents Hollywood. The Lutz Radio Theatre brings you Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanley in Penny Serenade with Yulabandi and Edgar Buchanan. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Settle B. Janim, reading from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

But even in her almost silent state, she helps to make it one of those rare stories that strike a common chord with all audiences. When the right director finds such a story, Hollywood knows it can look forward to an extraordinary picture.
