Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Shirley Temple and Herbert Marshall in Kathleen with Francis Gippridge. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Demille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. When I first knew Shirley Temple, she used to come over to my table at lunchtime in the studio restaurant to discuss the state of the world.

Her world was concerned mostly with dolls and lollipops. But that was one of the most valued friendships of my life. But with my own grandchildren at home, my main claim to distinction was that I knew Shirley Temple.

Brother 1943 and Shirley has traded dolls for dates. And since she's become a very lovely young lady, the competition must be rather keen. Tonight she comes back to the Lux Radio Theater to co-star with Herbert Marshall in her Metro-Goldwyn-Mare success, Kathleen.

a very happy event for all her old friends. And with Shirley and Bart, we have Francis Gifford from the current Metro Golden Mayor hit, Cry Havoc. The older generation usually seems rather blind and blundering to the younger generation.

And in tonight's play Shirley undertakes to fix up a certain romantic situation that badly needs fixing. New Year's week is a fitting time to renew old acquaintances. at the proper time for us to renew the resolve that we've made for some years past, that the finest plays and pictures of the year will find their places on the schedule of this theatre,

and that Lux flakes will continue to present the stars you want to hear each Monday night. If you're a long-standing member of this audience, you're probably also a long-standing Lux customer. If you're new with us, there's no time like a new year to give Lux flakes the only test that really counts.
