Made for Each Other

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you James Stewart and Marsha Hunt in Made for Each Other. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Most stories of romance and marriage end with the phrase and they lived happily ever after. Just how it's accomplished is left to one's imagination. But our drama tonight from the screen-hit Made for Each Other starts where others leave off and tells the best part of the story.

What happens in the marriage of two lovable and average Americans? For those lovable Americans, we have two amiable and more than average stars, Jimmy Stewart and Marcia Hunt, a promising combination to usher in the holiday season.

Apart from romance, the title made for each other suggests many things, from apple pie and cheese to California and sunshine, or should I say, Florida and sunshine. And to thousands of women, I am sure that it suggests fine fabrics and lux flakes.

A letter from one of our listeners reminds me of a previous Monday night when I referred to lux flakes overseas as literally worth its weight in gold. He politely reminds me that when it comes to laundering precious fabrics, Lux is worth its weight in gold at home too.

And figuratively at least I am sure she's right. Fine fabrics and Lux flakes are most assuredly made for each other. Here's the first act of our play, starring Jimmy Stewart and Marsha Hunt as Johnny and Jane Mason.

High in a New York skyscraper is the more firm of do-little, do-little, smiley and hutch. Dignity is definitely the keynote of their impressive office. But on this spring morning, dignity is lacking in the extreme.
