Love Affair

Luck presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Irene Dunn and Charles Boye in Love Affair. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cetal P. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Once in a blue moon, occurs that phenomenon of the motion picture art, the perfect motion picture. Sometimes it makes no pretension, Mr. Greatness. It's only a simple tale of men and women, but all the elements of stories, stars and direction are so happily combined that the finished product emerges as a living thing.

That blue moon was shining over Hollywood when Irene Dunn and Charles Boye teamed in the RKO picture love affair. And ever since you've been asking us to beg, borrow or steal the original stars and present it here.

However we did it, they are here tonight. For this romantic story of a love affair that begins on shipboard and ends, well that's for the third act to say. It doesn't take much knowledge of the theatre.

To guess what would happen if a Broadway producer were able to announce the appearance of Charles Boye and Irene Dunn for a single performance? As a matter of fact, there's probably no theatre in the world, but the Lux Radio Theatre, that would be big enough to hold the crowd.

And so if you'd like to thank someone for your seat tonight, the credit should go to Lux Blake. If this were a Broadway playhouse, the line at the box office would probably extend much farther than you could see.

And every man and woman in that line would be ready to pay several hard-earned dollars to enjoy these stars in a hit like lover for a fair. But it doesn't cost you a cent at our box office.
