This Land Is Mine

Lux presents Hollywood. Sratio Theater brings you Charles Loughton and Berenos Sullivan in This Land Is Mine with Edgar Barrier. Tonight the Lux Radio Theater comes to you from Hollywood as usual, but your producer speaks to you from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Arkansas, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I'm not far from the geographical center of the United States. In fact, right in the middle of the Lux Radio Theater audience, I'd come here to join the people of Arkansas and Little Rock in paying tribute to one of their own.

The story of Dr. Wessel with Gary Cooper as the screen hero is having a former opening here in Little Rock because Dr. Wessel was an Arkansas country doctor. The poor, romance and adventure called him halfway around the world.

The Arkansas countryside is the scene of some of the picture, and perhaps it's the origin of the high courage that carried a good plain American to world fame. This is the kind of an occasion that reaffirms one's faith in America.

This war belongs to the ordinary people of the world, and there are those in the darkened countries of Europe who carry on the fight too. Tonight's drama is about these soldiers without uniform, the army of the underground, which which waits for the greatest day of our time, the day of liberation.

Our play is the Archao hit, this land is mine. And we have the same distinguished artist you saw in the picture, Charles Lawton. And co-starring with Charles tonight is lovely Marina Sullivan. I've looked forward to every new Lawton play or picture since I first saw Charles act 13 years ago.
