The Lady Is Willing

Luck presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you George Brent and K. Francis in The Lady is Willing. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

An American soldier in North Africa can't tell who he's going to see these days. A man rides up in a jeep and it turns out to be the President of the United States. A liberator bomber drops from the sky and outsteps the Prime Minister of England.

A sergeant dives into an air raid shelter and who should be sitting there, calm as you please, but Kay Francis. Kay came back to Hollywood last week and tonight the Lux Radio Theater celebrates her return to the quieter kind of drama.

By co-starring her with one of our longtime favorites, George Brent, we borrowed George from the coast guard. And our play tonight is the Columbia picture success the lady is willing, needless to say, so are we.

It's a romantic comedy about an actress, a foundling, and a doctor who have some very exciting adventures together. We recommend it for your entertainment this evening, and later we'll ask Kay about her adventures abroad.

You may be interested too in a conference I had the other day in my office, making plans for our new picture, the story of Dr. Wassell. the story of the country doctor who drew the attention of President Roosevelt by his work of mercy during the Battle of Java. We were talking about costumes when someone remarked,

I guess you won't need any luck flakes for this picture. He meant, of course, that for dramatic purposes the battle-scarred uniforms in the picture needed to look dirty, not clean. But my hecra had forgotten a group of girls on the island of Java who will be wearing gay-colored are wrong. Take it from me and these days the motion picture business doesn't waste any
