Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux toilets hope, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Deborah Carr and Ben Hefflin in Vacation from Marriage. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.

Leaning from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, from earliest childhood, I remember, as I'm sure you do, that most romantic stories ended with a phrase and so they were married and lived happily ever after. I accepted that conclusion without doubt.

And as a result, won the Academy Award as the best original screen story of the year. It calls for great stars and we have them. First, one of England's most sought-after players Deborah Carr in her original screen roll.
