Transcript

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck's Radio Theater brings you Rosalind Russell, George Brent, and Chester Morris in Flight for Freedom. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

When the star plays the same kind of part again and again, that star to use the Hollywood term is tight. But this horrible fate can never happen to Miss Rosalind Russell, Because she makes every performance a new adventure in acting.

She turns from drama to comedy and back again with the greatest of ease for herself and the greatest of pleasure for her audience. Her last appearance here was in a rapid-fire comedy. Tonight with George Brent and Chester Morris, she plays a woman flyer in a powerful action drama, her RKO screen success flight for freedom.

Besides being our co-star tonight, George Brant is also a fellow pilot, and incidentally has been instructing flying cadets for the Army. But in flight for freedom, Chester Morris gives him plenty of competition, both in flying and romance.

The action of tonight's play takes us around the world to places that once were symbols of romance and are now the battlefield of freedom. And we don't have to dig very deep into our mailbag to find letters from most of them.

Luck's toilet soap is getting around these days. The New Guinea and North Africa, the Aleutians, Iceland, New Caledonia, and other faraway spots. Many of our boys out there, here us by short ways every week, they tell us that they're still using our product.

It comes in boxes from home, and in some places they can get it at a PX, that's army for a post exchange. But wherever it comes from, a gig of luck's toilet soap is a nice piece of property to have wherever you are.
