Practically Yours

The Lux Radio Theater brings your Pardette Colbert and Ray Milan in practically yours. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. John Cromwell. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Our marquee lights ablaze, our theater crowded.

Welcome to another night opening night at the Lux Radio Theater. Not in Hollywood alone, but clear across the continent. in city homes to lonely country farms, and to our men and women overseas, the curtain rises on our soft season on the air.

Supported by an all-star cast, they appear in practically yours from Paramount Studios, who are currently celebrating a third of a century public entertainment.

Just how important a wirehead terrier can be in human destiny you will shortly learn. In a world still suffering from the shock of war and faced with difficult problems of recovery.

This national theatre can, I believe, do much to cheer our hearts and rest our minds with laughter, excitement, and suspense. That will be our goal throughout the coming season. Would we hope your earnest criticism and advice for you, as we have often said, are the real sponsors of this theatre, you and Lux.

Your loyalty has been a challenge to us to present the best that we can find in stars and plays. We sincerely trust that your friendship to this theatre, like your preference for a lux toilet soap, will be rewarded by continued satisfaction. Now, as tens of millions thrilled to this theatre's greatest annual opening,
