The Enchanted Cottage

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire in The Enchanted Cottage. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. Hunt Stromberg. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Uppermost in our hearts and minds this holiday is a fall of peace, and the knowledge that millions of our fighting men are coming home. Some will return, as they have already, with the scars and disillusionment of battle, faced with problems of adjustment that require another own their fortitude, but ours as well.

Our sympathy, our tech, and our understanding. This is a theme of tonight's Lux Radio Theatre play, RKO's courageous and inspiring drama The Enchanted College, starring Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire in the roles they fill so ably on the screen.

Written originally by Sir Arthur Wing Panero, it tells how one returning soldier finds a strange and unexpected love to take the place of tragedy and heartbreak. Of course, all men come back to something different, but each looks forward to essentially the same reward, home and love, and a return to a million things.

And I think every fighting man feels grateful to the women of America who kept the home fires burning and kept themselves as tender and as lovely as the day they said goodbye. If a product like Lux's toilet soap has helped a little, help those women guard their feminine loveliness, then that is another tribute to their good sense and discrimination.

In fact, it's that very preference for Lux that enables us to raise this curtain every Monday night and bring you now the enchanted cottage starring Robert Young as Oliver Bradford and Dorothy McGuire as Laura Penninga.
