Guest Wife

Lux presents Hollywood. Lux Radio Theatre brings you Olivia de Havilland, Donamichi and Dick Ferran in Guest Wife. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

I'd like to take this chance to thank you for your many letters and communications since becoming producer of this theatre. I wish that time would allow me to answer each one personally. But be assured that your advice and your suggestions are appreciated and will help us greatly in our choice of plays and stars.

Among the requests we've had, many have been for Sam Wood's comedy success, guest wife, produced by Jack Ait Skerbaw and presented on this stage tonight with Donamichi and the role he played so engagingly on the screen.

co-starred with Don is the versatile Olivia de Havilland, a long time favorite of this theater, and incidentally of mine, also Dick Ferran from the original Screencast. Here's the first act of guest wife, starting Olivia de Havilland as Mary, Donamichi as Joe, and Dick Ferran as Chris.

There's probably no happier married couple in the world than Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Price of Kintusen, Ohio. Well, why shouldn't they be happy? They're young, handsome, intelligent, and on this particular night, they're especially happy.

In just 40 minutes, they're boarding the train for New York for two wonderful weeks, a second honeymoon. Oh, Chris, do you want to take this you along? Well, if there's room, honey, oh, uh, say you haven't heard the front door bell, have you?

Doorbell, why? Well, just before I left the Bank, Western Union called. It was so late, I told them to send the telegram here. It couldn't be anything important. Chris, maybe it was important. Darling, telegrams aren't always bad news.
