Transcript

Glocks presents Hollywood. Glocks Radio Theater brings you Lana Turner and Chief Bozzens made Victor Mature of the United States Coast Guard in slightly dangerous with Gene Lockhart. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil Bade DeMille.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. When a manuscript called Slightly Dangerous turned up at Metro Golden Mayor Studios, everyone must have stood up and shouted in unison, This is for Lana Turner. And I'd have joined in the shout if I'd been there.

Certain stories seem to be made just for certain stars. And slightly dangerous was made for the lady who's known as Lana. Certain stars go well together, too. And I believe we have an ideal combination tonight with Victor Matur helping Lana to make the evening slightly dangerous.

This is the story of a young lady who thinks she has a dull job and hankers for adventure that finds a little more of it than she'd bargain for. The plays are delightful mixture of gay and drama, and that's a team we've always found unbeatable.

After tonight's performance, Lana Turner goes back to Metro Goldwyn there to begin work in her new picture, Married Due to Private Affair. And Chief Boseons, mate, Victor Mature, goes back to his post with the Coast Guard after his first leave in many months.

Service men are learning a good deal at the outside their regular curriculum. As a case in point, we've received a letter signed by three gentlemen calling themselves the Luxham Doughboys. In a proved military fashion, they don't say where they're writing from, but they enclose a photograph showing two muscular young men and abbreviated the tire.

One of them is holding a box of luxe flakes in his hand, and the other is hanging up some washing on the makeshift line. I'm going to stick my neck out now and predict that soldiers with this experience will be much in demand as husbands when the war is over.
