Transcript

presents Hollywood. Radio Theater brings you George Raph, Lloyd Nolan, and Janet Blair in Broadway. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, the Cecil B. DeMille. Ladies and gentlemen, the most famous street in the world was once a cow path.

The triumph and the misery of millions made it the great white wave. The street with a heart and a soul and uncalculated gander power. It's dimmed out for the duration now, but in its shadows, lurk the ghosts of playboys and playwrights, chorus girls and hovers, right guys and wrong guys, all waiting for the lights to go up again,

and the big show to go on. Tonight, we bring some of these ghosts to life in a play about the fabulous Broadway of the 1920s, a play with all the drama and gayity, hope and heartbreak of the Manhattan parade.

to play called Broadway, and at the story of a man who was part of the Broadway legend before he became part of Hollywood. His name is George Raft, and tonight George Raft plays George Raft, just as he did in the Universal Picture Success. Two other fine artists, co-star with George in our cast, Lloyd Nolan, who's always been a favorite with us, and

Janet Blair, one of our town's bright starlets, who has the whole country applauding her performance in my sister, Eileen. And here's a letter with some applause for this theatre, the kind any producer likes to hear.
