Lux presents Hollywood. Leeper Brothers Company brings you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Jack Benny and Gayle Patrick in Killer Cates. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Very few institutions on the air out date the Lux Radio Theatre.
But one of the exceptions is our star tonight, War Keegan's favorite son, Jack Benny. It was 15 years ago that Jack started trying for laps on the air, and he's still trying. As a matter of fact, we'll have to allow Jack's one of America's top comedians, but tonight he branches out into a different field
in a thrilling piece of action drama entitled Killer Cates. Based on a Warner Brothers screenplay, it was adapted, especially for Jack's newly discovered dramatic ability, and co-stars lovely and talented Gail Patrick. Of course to get Jack here tonight we had to add special concessions to the contract, not the least of which was a large size box of Lux Flakes.
In fact Jack has been counting the contents, flake by flake, between rehearsals. And the gleam in his eye when he discovered they were all there could only be matched I am sure by the gleam and woman's eye when she sees Lux Blake's on her grosser shelf. It's a look that says, all's well that ends with Lux. And now the Lux Radio Theater presents Jack
Benny as Killer Cates and Gail Patrick as Helen with Alan Reed as Al Brady. In this rather unusual story, Mr. Benny plays the part of Jeff Morley, sometimes known as killer case in the opening scene we find our cold-blooded killer at the door of his old hideaway.
