Chained

Hollywood, California, Monday, July 27th. From its home on Hollywood Boulevard, the Lux Radio Theater presents Joan Crawford and French O'Tone in chain. Lux presents Hollywood. Tonight, the makers of Lux's toilet show, the beauty care used by nine out of ten screen stars and by attractive women everywhere.

It brings you another assembly to Hollywood's most distinguished citizens. Joan Crawford, French O'Tone, Gilbert Emory, Cecil B. DeMille, Oliver Hinsdale, Helen Burgess, Lewis Silvers, and many others. We are also proud to welcome as members of our audience a score of celebrated personalities.

Among them, Patsy Ruth Miller, Paula Stone, John McGuire, John Lee Mayan, who adapted tonight's play for the screen, Nina Baskett, Mary Alice Rice, and Rady Harris celebrated New York columnist to all of you, readings from Lux.

No man in motion pictures holds a record of achievement more enviable than that of our eminent director. He brings to radio just as he has brought to the screen the greatest plays and players in the world of entertainment.

Tonight he comes to the theatre direct from location dressed in riding breeches and boots and covered with the dust of the set. And here he is ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.

Many paths cross and many double cross in Hollywood. But this is my first professional contact with Joan Crawford and French O'Tone, but I know their history, perhaps better than they do. I can trace it back 150 years.

Their romance which began in 1933 was more than a courtship. It was a coincidence which had its beginnings in 1798, when an undersized Corsican named Bonaparte was lighting the fuse that was to explode all Europe.
