Transcript

Plucks present Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Margarut O'Brien, James Craig, Marcia Hunt, and Keenan Wind in Los Angeles. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

The entire company of the Lux Radio Theater has been under a magic spell this week. We fall in victim to the charm of Miss Margaret O'Brien, age seven. We have wooed her favor with ice cream cone and peppermint candy.

And she has rewarded us by treating us as equals. That's about the greatest compliment that a child can pay to add up. Go starring with Margaret, James Craig, Marcia Hunt, and Keenan Wen. They were all with her in the Metro-Gorgland Mayor picture of Lost Angel.

The drama that takes the spotlight in this theater tonight. This week, Metro Golden Mayor is celebrating 20 years of fine picture-making with a new one. That's been much talked about, the white cliffs of Dover.

During those 20 years, the studio has discovered the distinguished line of famous artists. But none I think, more promising than our little Margaret O'Brien. A lost angel is a delightful story of a very small girl who feels a certain responsibility for the affairs of her friends, particularly affairs of romance.

I believe tonight marks rather a special occasion for the Lux Radio Theatre, because it's the first time we've had a star who wasn't born, even, when the first play was presented in this National Theatre by Lux Furlough-Tope, which means that a whole generation has more us growing up with our program. The first birthday party, the first date, graduation day,

in all of these, our product has played its own little role. Needless to say, we are firm believers in the theory that beauty is never too young to learn about luck, so let's hope. Now our cast is on the stage and here's the curtain for Act 1 of Lost Angels.
