Hollywood, California, Monday, November 23rd. The Lux Radio Theatre presents Paul Muny in the story of Louis Pasteur with Fritz Leiber and Crawford Kent. Lux presents Hollywood, our stars Paul Muny, Fritz Leiber, Crawford Kent and Barbara Luddy, our guests Adrian, Hollywood's most noted designer, and William K. Howard Director, our producer Cecil B. DeMille, our conductor, Louis Silvers.
The makers of Lux flakes, together with our stars and guests, welcome you all to another hour in the Lux Radio Theatre. Here's a word to the ladies. Try Lux flakes for washing dishes. Ordinary soaps often dry your skin, making it rough and red and making the nails brittle.
Lux flakes contain no harmful alkali. They protect the natural oil in your skin, safeguard your manicure and give your hands beauty care right in the dishpan. Lux flakes are just as good for washing dishes as for washing fine fabrics and that's saying a lot.
And now it's time to hear from our producer, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Paul Muny is a paragon of paradoxes. Born in Vienna, he doesn't force. Trained in the Yiddish art theater, he's been playing the role of a Chinese and the good earth for the past six months.
At the age of eleven Mr. Muni went on the stage in the part of a bent and withered old man. The whiskers he wore were obviously false, but he grew his own beard for the story of Louis Pasteur, and here are some side lights on his sidelines.
He plays the violin and talks to strangers for relaxation. He rehearses all his lines into a dictaphone to study his own inflections. He experiments with makeup at home and obtains material for his characterizations first-hand.
