Mr Skeffington

The luck radio theater brings you Betty Davis and Paul Henry in Mr. Skeffington. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Some years ago, I went to a graduation play at a dramatic school in New York City.

The leading lady was a small but ableness named Betty Davis. A few days later, when we were casting for a new play, I suggested that Miss Davis be given what proved to be her first professional reading.

The rest is history, for Little Betty has since become the first lady of the film. One of her more recent successes is tonight's play, One of others moving and distinguished drama, Mr. Skettington. And co-starred in the title role tonight is Paul Henry, who has contributed so many star interpretations to the screen.

The action of our play occurs between two world wars, a period during which women, like the lovely Mrs. Skevington, discovered new freedom and leisure, largely through the medium of labor-saving methods and conveniences. One of the conveniences that rose to popularity throughout these years was Lux Flakes, and that popularity has steadily increased and spread to almost every country of the globe.

In Paris, where I was a few months ago, a package of Lux Flakes was almost literally worth its weight in gold, proving that daintiness and grooming are a prime concern of women everywhere, and that I feel is as it should be.

Now on to our play, as the curtain rises on act one of Mr. Skeffington, starring Betty Davis as Fanny and Paul Henry as Skeffington, with Marjorie Reardon as their daughter and Joseph Kern as George.
