Transcript

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck's radio theater brings you Bob Hope and Virginia Bruce in My Favorite Blonde. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Another report said he was putting on a big benefit show in San Francisco, and still further news said he'd gone to Alaska. We finally tracked him to an army camp near Seattle. He'd just flown in from the Aleutian Islands to do his radio show, and the next day he winged north to the Aleutians again to entertain more servicemen.

But we pinned him down for this week, and unless he's escaped to Australia within the the last minute or two he's waiting behind the Lux Radio Theater cut now with Virginia Bruce ready to star in his Paramount picture success my favorite blonde our play takes Bob and the beautiful Miss Bruce on a wild adventure with a gang of spies who are desperately trying
