Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you, for whom the bell tolls, starring Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Akim Tamiroff, Gail Sondergaard, and McHale Razumni. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. Otto Kruger. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

If you've ever been to our California Sierras, you have a good idea of what the central mountainous areas of Spain are like. a higher spectacular land remote and inaccessible. And here in the volcanic years of 1937 to 1939, when Spain was torn by civil war, guerrilla fighting found its perfect setting.

In tonight's Lux Radio Theatre play, these mountains become too, the setting for one of the great love stories of our time, for whom the bell tolls. It is based on the best-selling book by Ernest Hemingway.

It is presented to the courtesy of Paramount Pictures, producers of Here Come the Waves. And our stars from the original cast are Ingrid Bergman playing what readers digest calls the greatest part ever off of the woman on the American screen. And Gary Cooper, producer and star of his own new international picture along came Jones. Also, our King Tamirof,

Mikhail Razumni in their original screen roles, and Gail Sundagad. But as so far this Faramath picture has played only special engagement in key cities. It will be released for general distribution in just four days.

Meanwhile, we're happy to bring it to your home in return for your loyalty and your appreciation of lux flakes. I hardly need to add that through your use of lux flakes you not only make possible these Monday night productions, but you help yourself in that all important task of taking care of the nice things you wear and helping them to look better and last longer.
