This Love of Ours

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Rita Hayworth and Charles Corbin in This Love of Hours. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keelie. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight's Lux Radio Theatre presentation comes from the ten of one of the greatest modern playwrights, Luigi Perandello. It is Universal's current hit, This Love of Hours. The provocative and moving story of a wife's nats from the brink of death to confront a husband who disowned her and a child who disbelieves her.

Our stars who undertake to solve these problems are the talented and lovely Rita Hayworth and a new arresting personality, Charles Corbin, who appears tonight in a role that won him wide acclaim and promises a distinguished screen career.

In arranging to present tonight's play, I visited Universal Pictures and talked with, among others, the studio's ace designer, Travis Banton. Travis has proved that one doesn't have to be extravagant to be a top-flight gown creator. In searching for material for the wardrobe of this love of ours, Mr. Banton remembered dresses that he had created some years ago

for two other universal pictures. He sprinted to the wardrobe department and there found the garments. They had only been worn three or four days and had been washed in lucked flakes after every wearing. He found them in excellent condition and the material as lovely as when it was first used.

Well, I'm sure housewives are aware of the economy of using lucked flakes, but they'll be interested to know that Hollywood Studios, using hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of costumes every year, confirm their judgment. It's time for our curtain and the first act of this love of ours, starring Rita Hay with us Karen and Charles Corvin as Michelle Tuzak
