Meet Me in St Louis

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company brings you the Lux Radio Theater starring Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien and Tom Drake in Meet Me in St. Louis. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Pealy. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Through the student of history, popular songs can often be a die to the customs and manners of their time. And the theme song of tonight's play, Meet Me in St. Louis, from the studios of Metro Golden Mayor is a clue to the great American vote of 1904, the World's Fair in Missouri.

Ten million people attended it, but twice as many people in our listening audience will be going there tonight with three of Hollywood's most charming stars, the ever-popular Judy Garland, Lovable Margot O'Brien, and talented Tom Drake.

They take you back to an era of nostalgic charm and a warm and haunting story of romance. And in that same nostalgic spirit comes a letter from a young girl who was married last September in a family heirloom dress of Maltese lace.

The lace, she says, was very delicate and 97 years old. Yet when we washed it with lots of flakes, it came out perfectly preserved in color, daintiness and texture. We were astonished that a lace so old and delicate could be so beautifully restored.

To Mrs. F. A. Gunderson, the bride, our heartiest thanks, and our sincere best wishes for a happy future with Luxe Clales. On to Act 1 of Meet Me in St. Louis, starting Judy Garland as Esther, Margaret O'Brien as Tutti, and Tom Drake as John.

In the year 1903 there lived the Nissidia St. Louis, a family named Smith. There were Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Smith and Grandpa Smith. There were also two daughters and a son, Rose, Esther and Lonnie.
