Action in the North Atlantic

Luck presents Hollywood. The radio theater brings you George Raph, Raymond's Matthew, and Julie Bishop in Action in the North Atlantic. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

In the dim past of 1942, the wolf packs of German U-boats were sinking ships faster than we could build them. But the undersea killer was beaten. Beaten by old weapons and by new. by gun and bomb and depth charge, and by the iron hearts of the merchant seamen.

From every part of America, they went down to the sea in ships, and there many are buried in unmarked graves, a thousand thousand steeps. Some came from marble head, and were born to the smell of stored air.

Some from Missouri, they'd never even seen the ocean. Hollywood produced a magnificent motion picture tribute to the men of the merchant ships. It's called Action in the North Atlantic, and we present it as our play tonight with George Raft, Raymond Massey, and Julie Bishop as the Stars.

One of others made the picture, and by the way, everyone at that studio is talking about a new comedy called Make Your Own Bed. Action in the North Atlantic is more than a drama of ships and submarines and thinking because there was unselfish courage behind these men, the courage of wives and children

and sweetheart. And to them a grateful nation must give thanks. Americans have always liked to go to sea. From before the time the Yankee Clipper was queen of the Seven Seas. There have been lots of changes since then too, ships powered by steam, the radio, airplane, and even in such everyday comfort, says once it was a long and tedious process of home manufacture
