Break of Hearts

Flux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Rita Hayworth and Orson Wells in Break of Heart. Ladies and gentlemen, your producers, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another evening in the Lux Radio Theatre, the second performance of our eleventh season on the air.

You know, I like to think of the Lux Radio Theatre as essentially a family institution, reaching as it does into millions of homes, and bringing our armies overseas closer to their own fire side. And tonight in keeping with this family tradition, we are bringing together for the first time on the air, one of Hollywood's best-known married couples, Rita Hayworth and Orson Wells,

in a play that is appropriately about marriage. It's the RKO screen hit, Break of Heart. I won't take the edge off your anticipation by telling you more about tonight's story, but I do want to remind you that for our tenth anniversary celebration on October 16th, we are looking forward to having you help us select the plays and stars that you'd like most to hear.

Send them on a postcard address to me at Post Office Box 9, Hollywood 28, California. We've received your suggestions by the hundreds from all parts of the world, I'm happy to say with a kind word for Lux toilet soap.

In fact, letters from overseas tell us that the name Lux helps a lot in establishing friendly relations between American soldiers and the natives of liberated countries. One GI wrote from Italy, I gave the cake of Lux soap to an Italian woman, and right away she asked me and my buddies to a veal, steak, and spaghetti dinner,
