A Mans Castle

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Spencer, Tracy and Ingrid Bergman in a man's castle. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a rare week when I'm not asked by some trusting soul to reveal the secret of stardom in a nutshell. I'm always very flattered because that's a question nobody's been able to answer yet. The best I can do is to say that every truly great star possesses at least one of two great qualities,

power and authority. And then I tell him to go and watch Spencer Tracy because he possesses both. Of course two other helpful star qualities are beauty and glamour. Unfortunately, I can't credit either of these to Spence.

But whatever relax in this department is made up tonight by his co-star from the David O. Sel's Nick studio, the greatly gifted actress, Ingrid Bergman. Not long ago I saw these two together on the screen, and the power of their scenes convinced me then and there that the next time Spencer Tracy was on this stage,

Ingrid Bergman should be his leading lady. So here they are together again, in a play that gave Spencer one of his best picture roles, a man's castle, adapted from the Columbia picture. This is a story of two young people from the world passed by.

It's a simple story. They're not great and famous people, they don't want to be. They're the kind of people who don't give up when the breaks go against them. And their love story is the kind that makes great emotional drama.

It's a play that I'm sure will bring a thrill to every member of our audience. And a cast that's a reward we really owe to the millions of men and women for the support they've given our product, Lux Toiletsope.
