The Great Mans Lady

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Barbara Sandwick, Joseph Cotton and Chester Morris in The Great Man's Lady. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

One day while I was launching in the studio restaurant, I noticed a woman. A very, very old woman seated at another table. I thought I knew most of the players in town, but she was so striking an appearance, I asked my casting director to find out who she was and something about her.

I found out very quickly. The little old lady was 109 years old, and her name was Barbara Samick. I hadn't even recognized one of my favorite stars. I just go to show you what a convincing performance Barbara gave in the Paramount picture to great man's lady.

He plays the same part tonight. The woman called Hannah Sempler from the age of 17 to the age of 109. And with Barbara we present two leading men. The brand new star Joseph Cotton and Chester Morris, who's just made a direct hit in the Pine Thomas production, Ariel Gunna.

In the untold story of almost every great man, he's a great woman. The great man's lady is the drama of one of these. a strange chapter of love and adventure and sacrifice out of the lives of two great people.

Think of all the changes that a woman, 109 years old, might have seen from the first railroad train to the miracles of the present. Electricity, automobile, radio, airplanes, and important everyday things like flux flakes, which have made life easier and more pleasant for many millions of women.
