Crossroads

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Lana Turner and Pierre O'Monn in Crossroads. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil D. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.

Lana Turner with a high school girl, sipping at chocolate soda at a drugstore counter and perhaps thinking about the latest Clark Gable picture. when someone, not an astronomer, walked in and discovered a new star.

But there was no mistake because she was soon to see herself on the screen co-starring with Clark Gable. Three years ago, one of the leading screen actors of France left the Paris sound stages to command a tank in the front line.

He won the Quadigair. When France fell, he made his way to America by way of Morocco and Lisbon. He began all over again in a strange land, and today, Pierre O'Mont is a star once more.

These two adventure stories joined tonight at Lana Turner and Pierre O'Mont, co-star in the Lux Radio Theatre. Lana has just finished making slightly dangerous over at Metroville-Ramere, and they're expecting great things at the same studio for Pierre's new picture, assignment in Brittany.

Tonight we're presenting them together in another Metro road when Mayor Screenplay called Crossroads. There's a great thrill in discovering a new star. And that thrill is one of the things we try to give you as often as possible in these dramas which luxe toilet soap brings you each Monday night.

When a star clicks, nobody has any doubt about it. If you'd seen Lana Turner's screen test or Pierre-O-Montz, you too would have predicted stardom for both of them. I suppose I've seen at least 3,000 screen tests during the past 30 years.
