Transcript

Buck's presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Barbara Stanwick and Tyrone Power in this above all. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Ratings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Once more, it's opening night in the Lux Radio Theater. For a new kind of opening night. Without benefit of such lights or brightly lit Marquis. Like Broadway's Great Fight Way, fight way, Hollywood Boulevard's neon lane is dimmed out for the duration, but there's no dim out on grammar and adventure inside the Lux Radio Theatre

tonight as we present Tyrone Power and Barbara Stanwick in the 20th century Fox drama This Above All, based on the novel by Eric Knight. It's the first great love story to come out of this war, the story of an English soldier in a girly uniform who gives him the fighting heart to do his duty. You'll hear Barbara

Stanwick as that girl and Tyrone Power and the same party played on the screen, the soldier just backed from the terror of Dunkirk. This above all is what the critics call an important drama and what the public calls great entertainment.

And don't be backward about telling us what other plays and stars you'd like to hear because you are the real sponsors of this program, you and Lux toilet soap. You and Lux have been raising the curtain here for eight years now, and as we go into our ninth season, we renew our pledge to bring you the best entertainment America can produce,

the newest plays and the finest dramatic artists. There's a reserved seat in this national theatre for everyone and the More the Marrier. Your season ticket is that familiar cake of Lux toilet soap and again the More the Marrier.
