In Old Oklahoma

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Roy Rogers, Martha Scott, and Alfred Decker in Old Oklahoma. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

First, there was prairie and roving bands of the Plains Indians. Then there were white bands, and the plane was broken by the plow. And then one day a trickle of oil came from the earth, and strange wooden towers rose across the land.

The black gold gushed from the ground, and from all over America men raced to get their share. So it was in every place where they found the black gold, and so it was in Oklahoma, in the days when men made fortunes overnight and fought at the drop of a hat.

Republic Pictures made a roaring screen drama on the subject, and we've chosen it as tonight's play. It's called In Old Oklahoma, and the picture was based on the Thompson-Birtish story, War of the Wildcats. You'll hear Martha Scott and Albert Decker from the picture cast, plus a young man who makes his first appearance in the Lux Radio Theatre tonight.

Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboy. Royce sings a mighty sweet song in his pictures, and his pictures play a mighty sweet tune at the box office. They tell me this kind of plays very popular with the boys on the fighting fronts.

We've also discovered by way of the V-mail route that Lux toilet soap is popular out there too. Perhaps like me, you often wondered, what baggage a paratrooper carries when he jumps behind enemy lines. and that's about the biggest adventure any man can embark on.
