Pardon My Past

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Fred McMurray and Marguerite Chapman in Pardon My Pass. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

One of the fastest growing elements of our population is the lowly mink. With care and patience, you can raise a couple of these 24-inch rodents into something glamorous and beautiful. A coat that puts a gleam in a woman's eyes and leaves a dent in her husband's pocketbook.

I mention these facts because they motivate tonight's play. Columbia Pictures' recent comedy release, Pardon My Past, starring Fred McNichmore as the boy with a future in Mink, and Marguerite Chapman as the girl with a Mink in her future.

Who gets fleeced in this story of the old skin game you'll shortly hear? But first I'd like to thank Virginia Maxwell for a different kind of story. As a member of the Red Cross, she was present at a dance in China, given to promote Chinese-American relations and attended by dignitaries of both countries.

The high spot of the program was the presentation of three valuable door prizes, a lovely piece of carved jade, an exquisite heirloom teapot over 200 years old, and luck-soaked. Chinese guests won all the prizes, and while the Americans were politely envious, they were also proud that an American beauty aide, like luck-stoiled-soaked, should rank so high in

foreign estimation. Here's Act 1 of Part in My Past, starring Fred McMurray as Eddie York and Marguerite Chapman as John. It's a fine spring afternoon in New York City. In his lavish Madison Avenue apartment, Mr. Elias Arnold has just received two visitors.

Behind the visitors stands a rather sinister gentleman, a gun in his hand. You may dispense with your firearms, Mr. Lock. I am sure Mr. Pemberton here and his friend will prove very reasonable. Okay, Mr. Arnold.
