Tender Comrade

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you tender comrade, starring Olivia de Havilland, Joan Duprey, and Dennis O'Keefe. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

In today's Titanic struggle for democracy and freedom, there are many different armies wearing many different uniforms. There are the embattled armies in the field, and on the seas and in the air. There are the armies and the factories and on the farms, and there's another great and unsung army in America, the wives who have been left behind to keep the home fires burning.

They are the spiritual comrades of the men in arms, tender, unforgettable comrades. And to them our play tonight is dedicated. It's RKO's quite recent and delightful screen hit, at Tender comrade. Start in our cast on the talented Olivia de Havilland, captivating June you pray, and a young gentleman who was climbed to start him I had personally followed with great interest,

Dennis O'Keefe. In fact Dennis started his screen career with me playing a bit part in the plainsman. We're told by psychologists that when our men come back from this war they'll bring with them a whole new set of values.

I'm inclined to doubt that. They have new values, yes, but not a whole new set. Many of the old values will prevail as strongly as ever, and one you can counter is a man's appreciation of a pretty faith and an appealing, soft complexion.

And so if you are one of the tender comrades with a husband in the service, I think that husband will agree with me when I suggest that you keep steady company with Lux Turlet Zone.
