Transcript

Luck presents Hollywood. The Luck's Radio Theater brings you Danny K and Virginia Mayo in Wonder Man. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keelie. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

If you ever manage a resort hotel, you'll find that your worst enemy is rain. Those dismal indoor days that start your guests departing for the city. A certain hotel in the Catskills hired an inventor gentleman who solved that problem by donning funny-looking hats, clowning through the halls, and throwing himself, if necessary, fully clothed into the fish pond for the entertainment of discouraged guests.

From that beginning, Danny Kay has soared to a phenomenal success on stage and radio, and co-starred in two screen hits with his leading lady of tonight, Virginia Mail. They appear in their original screen rows in Samuel Goldwyn's Wonder Man, released by RKO.

To give you as much of Danny K as possible, we divide him in two and present him in our play as twins. I identical in look but very opposite in temperament. For things that look alike may prove quite different in performance.

One of our friendly listeners in Georgia writes me, I am a teacher of first-graded school, And every day before lunch we have washing time. One morning I brought two standard size cakes of soap, one for the boys and one for the girls.

When I gave it to the children I told them I had two kinds, luxe and another. And the girls could have first choice. Without hesitation every girl said luxe. So you see our Georgia peaches, even as early as the first grade, learn what's good for their complexion.

Thanks to Ms. Harvard of Una Della, Georgia, and congratulations to her well-trained and discerning pupils. It's time for our curtain and act one of Wonder Man, starring Danny Kay as Edwin Dingell and his brother Buster and Virginia Mayo as Ellen.
