Hollywood, California, Monday, August 31st. The Lux Radio Theater presents George Raft in Cheating Cheaters with June Lang. This presents Hollywood, the makers of Lux Toilet Soul, official soap in all the leading motion picture studios.

Again, brings you an hour with Hollywood's outstanding celebrities. Tonight, you will meet George Raft, June Lang, Cecil B. DeMille, Gloria Swanson, Donald A. Loomis, Lewis Silvers, and many others. It is also our privilege to have in our visible audience such guests as Henry Watzburg, Dean Janis, Lois January, Maxine Jennings, Sarimritza and Virginia Pye, and to all

our listeners, greetings from Lux. There's an excellent reason why Lux's toilet soap is used by nine out of ten screen stars and by lovely women everywhere.
