Only Yesterday

Ladies and gentlemen, the guest producer of the Lux Radio Theatre, Mr. Edward G. Robinson. Before we open the Lux Radio Theatre program, we think it only fitting in proper that we pause for a moment of tribute to the memory of a great American. Since last Monday night, our country has suffered a novelling loss. Only history can write a full and adequate

tribute to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And now it is for all of us to unite solidly and and loyally to finish the great task remaining before us, both in winning the war and in winning the peace.

In today's chaotic and fast-changing world, we may forget that only yesterday we were living through one of the most hectic periods in American history, the flaming twenties, a decade of nervous change and violent speed of prohibition, gangsterism and war-street hysteria.

That is the setting of our play tonight. Universal screen hit only yesterday. The story of a man's life and a woman's love against the background of a world recovering from the shock of war. Starring in tonight's production is the talented dramatic actress Ida Lupino, who turns out to be a great light comedian in the Warner Brothers picture, Pillow to post.

Co-starred with Miss Lupino is the personable Robert Young, in Leisure Ours, a gentleman rancher from the San Fernando Valley, who comes to our stage from Ettego-Goldman Mayor Studios, producers of the Catherine Hibburn Spencer Tracy Comedy, Without Love. Among so many other changes, it was only yesterday that women first asserted their emancipation.

They'd won the vote, and they went on to claim equality and freedom. Equality in business, art and science, freedom from needless drutchery at home. In greater numbers, they turned to labor-saving methods and conveniences. Lux flakes, for instance, that have saved so many women countless hours of labor over scrubbing boards and wash tubs, and have helped to keep things looking fresher into the bargain.
