Maytime

Lux presents Hollywood. As radio theater brings you, Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddie, in Maytime with Edgar barrier. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. At every opening night in the theatre for a thousand years, there's been a breathless feeling of expectancy, a sense of new adventure.

And tonight, as the lights go on again and our Lux Radio Theatre, there's the added thrill of knowing that the lights are going on again, all over the world. With the liberation of France that thought your freedom burns again in Europe, and tonight we have a play that expresses something of the bond between song-loving America and music-loving

Paris. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's screen hit, Maytime, with sigmund rumberg's unforgettable music, for our stars, those all American favorites, Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddie. They made their first appearance for us in our radio play together just last June. Your many letters which have asked us to bring them together again are answered in tonight's premiere with

Maytime. We hope you'll continue to have a real part in all of our Monday night performances, not just by purchasing luck's toilet soap, because I think you do that anyway in recognition of a truly fine product, but by helping us select the plays and stars you want most to hear. For our tenth anniversary on October 16th, we'll particularly welcome your suggestions.

Just send me a postcard telling me the name of the play or stars you'd like to hear. Mail it to me at Post Office Box 9, Hollywood 8, California. And now the thrill of another opening night as the curtain goes up on the first act of Maytime starring Jeanette McDonald as both the old and the young Marsha and Nelson Eddy as Paul
