The Master Race

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you the master race, starring George Coolorus, Nancy Gates, Stanley Ridges, Paul Guilfoyle, and Helen Beverly. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Not long ago, they're fell into allied hands, a sensational, secret, 60-page memorandum prepared by the recent German military governor of Paris. He says in part, our defeat in the present war need not be considered except as an incident in the triumphal march of Germany toward the conquest of the world.

What does temporary defeat matter? If, through the destruction of people and material wealth in enemy countries, we emerge with a margin of superiority even greater than that of 1939. And he adds, in the next world war, which should take place within 25 years, the principal adversary will be the United States, and our entire effort must be concentrated

against this country from the beginning. A transcription of this document was sent to me by a research group in New York, which had been collecting an exhaustive amount of data on German secret plans for World War III.

Among them is a recorded statement by General von Rundstedt, leader of the current German offensive on the Belgian front, who says, total destruction of our neighbors and their wealth is indispensable to our future victory.

Now this fanatical doctrine of a cunning, strong, and devilish enemy, who once he has laid down arms in public, prepares to take them up again in secret is the subject of tonight's story. RKO's dramatic hit, The Master Race.

We are fortunate in having on our stage almost the entire original cast of that important screenplay. George Colouris, Stanley Ridges, Nancy Gates, Helen Beverly and Paul Guilfoyle. This week as we were rehearsing tonight's play I thought of how lucky we are over here.
