The Pied Piper

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Frank Morgan in the Pied Piper with Roddy McDowell and Baxter and Ralph Morgan. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer Mr. Cecil B. DeMille, reading from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. At Christmastime, it's fitting and proper that we should bring you a story about children. This story is as timeless as children themselves and as modern as

Christmas 1942. It's called the Pied Piper and it stars Frank Morgan with Roddy McDowell, Anne Baxter and Ralph Morgan. A fine novel by Nether Shoot gave 20th Century Fox studio the opportunity for this original screen drama. The heroic story of a man past fighting age who found another way to serve humanity. I'm sure

you'll like Frank Morgan in the leading part. He's one of the most completely talented man I know. Besides starring with Mickey Rooney in pictures like the human comedy at Metro Golden Mayor Studios, Frank has a weekly radio program which adds a precious store of laughter to a busy world. You'll meet another side

of him in the Pied Piper, a serious side. This week Americans will be celebrating Christmas all the way from the Arctic to the tropics. We had a letter the other day from a lady in Fort Worth, Texas, who had her own idea for soldiers who may be dreaming of a white Christmas somewhere in the South Sea. She writes that two packages of luxe

flakes with full directions for making snow out of them are on their way to a South Pacific island for some of our soldiers. She also sent some tinsel rope and red candles. Now they as a good deed. Of course, it's a little too late for the rest of you to send luck-flakes snow to the South Pacific, but there's plenty of time to put it on your own Christmas tree.
