The Major and the Minor

Present Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Ginger Rogers and Ray Milan in The Major and the Minor. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. A star building on tonight's program really ought to read, Ginger Rogers and Ray Milan with Ginger Rogers and Ginger Rogers.

For the accomplished ginger plays three distinct and very different people, and at the time, Ray can't even tell them apart. The cause of it all is the gay paramount comedy, The Major and the Minor, in which a unique script by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder gave ginger and Ray a delightful opportunity, and we have ginger's own mother, Mrs. Lila Rogers, to play her mother.

It's a story about a beautiful girl, that ginger, who runs out of money in New York, and impersonates a youngster of twelve, so she can buy a half-fair ticket home. You can see the possibilities when Ray Milan becomes our guardian for the trip, and, well, the story is full of surprises.

And here's another story with more of the same, thanks to a lady here in California. I've been one of your audience since the inception of the Lux Radio Theatre, she writes, I'm a lucks toilet soap fan too. My son is in the army. On the day of regimental inspection, he found himself without a first aid kit, which fits in the first pouch of his belt.

With true Yankee ingenuity, he substituted a cake of lucks soap, which is about the same size and shape, and hoped it would get by the eagle eye of the CO. But as the general inspected the rear of the second rank, he stopped behind my son, pulled out the first out and remark, don't lose your soap, soldier. I'm dead he got off so rightly.
