Salute to the Marines

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Wallace Bury and Faye Banger in Salute to the Marines Ladies and gentlemen your producer mr. Cecil B. DeMille Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen The personal philosophy of the average Marine he sat down for posterity in the last verse of the Marine hymn Which says if the army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes?

They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines. This week the nation marks the 168th anniversary of the Marine Corps, and we add our part to the celebration by presenting Wallace Bierry and Fay Bader in their Metro-Golden Mayor hit, salute to the Marines.

At Midway, at Wake Island, at Guadalcanal, this service has written its record in fire and blood. But tonight's play is not that story. It's the personal drama of a sergeant major and his family, a veteran, who retired to peace and quiet, and in typical marine style, found he picked the hottest spot in the world.

A fortunate break enabled us to reunite two of Hollywood's busiest stars. Fae Bader has just returned to town from a camp tour after making Cry Havoc at Metro Golden Mayor, and Wally Berry has just finished the picture rationing at the same studio.

You know in recent months many of us have learned not to take even the simplest things of life for granted. We think twice before we throw things away. Housewives combine accounting with crookery. Old newspapers and waste fats suddenly turn out to be valuable raw materials.

And a simple thing like a cake of soap is something to be handled with care and respect, especially if it lucks toilets off. Of course the famous beauty of a few thousand years ago like Cleopatra would see nothing unusual in this at all.
