Gaslight

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boye in Gaslight. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

From Metro-Golden Mail Studios, home of so many Academy Award-winning pictures and stars, comes one of their recent outstanding successes. But gripping drama you're about to hear, and luxe is particularly happy to bring you the same two stars so widely acclaimed for their performances in Gaslight, Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman.

A fascinating story of a woman in the toils of a strange love and a man possessed by an overpowering greed, Gaslight had a record run on the stage. As its name implies, Gaslight takes us back to an era of hoopskirts and frock coats, of handsome cabs and eight gossed dinners, a period of nostalgic charm and old world leisure.

Yet, if the truth were known, how many women of those days were slaves of the ironing broadened kitchen, with few of the labor-saving luxuries we have today, like lux flakes. If you've ever read of those old-fashioned washday methods, when countless frilly garments were ruinously scrubbed in steaming tubs, you'll appreciate why modern housewives are

so grateful for Luxe Clakes, and for the way they make lovely things last longer. In fact, it is this preference for Luxe that raises our curtain every week, and tonight brings you Ingrid Bergman in her Academy Award-winning role of Paula and Charles Boyer in the role of Gregory as the curtain rises on Act 1 of Gaslight.
