Disputed Passage

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you disputed passage, starring Alan Ladd, A keen Tamirov, and Anne Richards. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. Brian Hernd. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. One of the world's outstanding men of medicine, Sir William Osler, said at the peak of his career, nothing in life is more wonderful than fate.

The one great moving force, which we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucible. So William was a man of fact and research, a tireless searcher after scientific truth, yet he never ceased to admit the existence of forces greater than his scalpel could reveal.

Tonight's luck's radio theatre play disputes this passage, or rather puts it to the test in one of the screen's most moving stories from Lloyd Douglas' great book, Disputed Passage. It comes to us from Paramount Studios, producers of the current technicala hit bring on the girls.

Among our stars tonight is Alan Ladd, a gentleman who got his acting start in radio and who who has since gone places, not only in pictures, but on the stage of the Lux Radio Theatre.

You heard him a year ago in Casablanca, before that he appeared for us in China, and last spring in Coney Island. I think you'll agree that's covering a lot of ground. Allen is busy at Paramount now in a picture called Sautio Rook, in which he goes back to the type of role that made him famous, the gun toting, swashbuckling, man of action.

Who starred with Allen on our stage tonight is the versatile character actor, Echim Tamiro, his original screen role as Dr. Forster. Also a newcomer to this stage, but for many years Australia's top film favourite, Miss Anne Richards, as charming to look at as she is to listen to.
