The Vagabond King

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you the vagabond king, starring Dennis Morgan, Catherine Grayson and J. Carol Mag. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen.

And today I want to add Christmas greetings to each and to all of you. With the sincere wish that you'll be listening to the Lux Radio Theatre for many Christmases to come. Some 480 Chrises a goal.

The young gentleman left us, probably the world's most unusual list of gifts. He was on his way out of town a few steps ahead of the John-Dams. And as a departing gesture, he bequeathed to the girl he loved, a broken heart.

He will bet all caged things should have their freedom, that children should have care and want. And in a sense that we of the Lux Radio Theater should enjoy tonight's play. But the gentleman was Francois Vioff about to set out from Paris, and as I said a few steps ahead of the police.

On a life as colorful and adventurous as any piece of fiction you could find, he didn't stay away from Paris long. In fact he's back there on our stage tonight as Dennis Morgan. In Rudolph, Bremel's tearing up a rata, the vagabond king.

Coast out with Mr. Morgan is the lovely Catherine Grayson, who will be seen next in the Metro-Boldman Air Technical and Musical Anchors Away, which was produced by Joe Pastor-Vac, and directed by George Sidney. Also in tonight's cast is the talented J. Carol Nash.

All of us who belong to be king for a day will discover tonight what happens to a man who has that dream come true. And who at the end of those 24 hours, places either a lifetime with a woman he loves or death upon the gallows? You will see for yourself which before to.
