Thunderhead Son of Flicka

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck Radio Theatre brings you Roddy McDowell, Pestin Foster and Rita Johnson in Thunderhead, Tunnel Flicker. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keelich.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In this turbulent, fast-changing era, The ways of man are often hard to understand, and equally so, the way of a man with a mate. But unchangeable is the way of a boy with his horse.

Mutual sympathy and understanding. That loyal friendship is the basis of tonight's Lux Radio Theatre play, Thunderhead Son of Flickr, from the studios of 20th Century Fox, with the same stars who made that screen hit so endearing to American theatregoers.

Rita Johnson, Roddy McDowell, and Preston Foster. Three years ago, we introduced liquor and a master to you in the play to which this drama is a sequel. Your many letters received since then, asking to hear thunderhead, are answered now with a story that holds all the action and excitement, all the warmth and color of its predecessor.

Our background is the mighty forest and prairies of the northwest, Which brings back to me many treasured memories of months spent in that unforgettable beautiful region filming God's Country and the Woman. Among those memories are the many remote logging camps where our location seems led us.

Simple picturesque communities where life is rough but the standard of cleanliness is high. And it was a common occurrence to see those stalwart woodsmen laundering their own clothes in long wooden trawls. I might add a common sight to see that friendly package of Lux Blake beside them.

A reminder to the fair sex in our audience that Lux Blake's are just as important in a man's world as a woman. We raise our curtain now on Act 1 of Thunderhead, Sun the Flicker, starting Radi McDowell as Ken, Preston Foster as Rob and Rita Johnson as Nell.
