The Barretts Of Wimpole Street

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Loretta Young and Brian Ahern in The Barats of Windfall Street. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight we introduce you to two fascinating people in one of the greatest love stories of all time. Robert Browning and the English poet is Elizabeth Barrett, whose turbulent courtship is the theme of our play tonight, adapted from the Broadway stage's success, The Barret of Whimple Street, later made into an outstanding motion picture by Metro Golden Mayor.

Our stars are already young and Brian Herne, each making their 20th appearance on this stage, Brian and the role that he created so brilliantly in the stage play. At this third performance of our new fall season, I'd like to thank all of you for your many letters of good wishes and for the kind words said about this theatre by our friends.

One reviewer commenting on the fact that nine out of ten screen stars use Lux Toilet Soap suggested that the same ratio might well apply to radio fans who listen to this theatre. Well, it's because many of you do appreciate Lux Toilet Soap, not only here in Hollywood, And wherever women guard their loveliness, they will bring you these Monday night productions

with your favorite players. Here's the first act of the Barats of Windball Street, starring Loretta Young as Elizabeth Barrett and Brian Ahurn as Robert Browning, with Vanessa Brown as Henrietta and Lester Matthews as Mr. Barrett.

London, a hundred years ago. It's an early evening in June, and at 50 Windball Street, in a goon-made book line room, Dr. Chambers concludes a procedure which he's followed now for some six years. His weekly examination of Miss Elizabeth Barrett.
