The Fallen Sparrow

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck's radio theater brings to Robert Young, Moreno-Hara, and Walter Slaveback in The Fallen Sparrow. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Tasso B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Deep in the heart of most of us, there must be a suppressed longing to emulate Sherlock Holmes and the other masters of his profession. How else can you explain the appeal of the mystery story to farmer and financier, habadeshire and housewife, chorus girl or clergyman?

A shiver running down the spine is no respecter of person, and I for one look forward with gusto to the man-hunting excursion. Tonight we have one of the best, RKO's object lesson in suspense, a foreign sparrow.

And our guides on this trail of intrigue, romance and murder, A Robert Young, Moreno-Hara and Walter Slazak. Bob Young had just returned to Hollywood after a tour of Army hospitals. RKO provided Moreno-Hara and Walter Slazak, both of whom starred in the film production of the Fallen Sparrow.

It takes all kinds of people to make a world and all kinds of plays to make a theatre. But I think this play will please young and older life. Those who just tried like flakes and those who've been using it for years.

We had a letter last week from a woman who at 62 is doing her bit in a war plant in Chicago. She says she first started buying Lux in a little textile town in Lancashire, England, about 1901.

Since then she's used our product in Switzerland and Canada and for the last 25 years in the United States. She wonders if anyone else beats a record of 43 years in four countries. I can't answer for that, but she must be mighty sure about like flakes by this time.
