One Foot in Heaven

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Frederick March and Martha Scott in One Foot in Heaven. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Visible from far off as you approach even the smallest of American villages is a majestic symbol of the freedom we've always loved and now are fighting for. Pointing straight to the sky, the church steeple dominates the landscape, and in its shadow for more than three centuries, America has been a citadel of religious liberty, a haven for

the oppressed and persecuted of many lands. Guardian of this liberty are the pastors of thousands of American churches who work quietly, selfishly, courageously, and with good humor, as will be abundantly evident in tonight's play one foot in heaven.

The one of others' picture is based on the best-selling book by Hartville Spence, and this evening we have the same stars who gave such delightful performances on the screen, Frederick March and Martha Scott. It's a drama of the author's own family, and no father and mother ever had a finer tribute than this one written by their son.

A story of real people that goes right to the soul of America. Crossing the New Mexico desert the other day, I saw three brave little buildings pioneering a town. A church, a general store, and a motion picture theater.

And on the marquee of the theater, believe it or not, blazed the familiar name Lux. Now I wouldn't have been surprised to find that sign in the window of the general store, because wherever two roads cross from Times Square to Tompkins Corners, you're rather certain to find Lux Flakes for sale.
