Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you very gravely victim-ature and Barry Sullivan in Coney Island. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. If I were asked to name the entertainment center of the world, I'd probably say Hollywood. But if you put that question to any one of seven million people in New York, he'd probably answer with some vigor.

The entertainment center of the world, that's Coney Island. And for tonight at least, we'll agree with him. As we bring you 20th Century Fox's musical success, Coney Island, starting lovely Betty Grebo in the role she created on the screen.

Co-starred with Betty, we have Victor Mature, resuming a brilliant screen career after four years in the service, and that talented young actor Barry Sullivan, both rival suitors in this rollicking story of love, laughter and excitement at America's most famous playground.

Our story takes us back to the period, popularly known as BLF. You know, of course, what BLF stands for, before Lux flakes, and before many other conveniences too, such as the subways that whisk manhattan's millions to conny island in a fraction of the time it took the horse-drawn carriages of course lux flakes are great time savers too

not only for new yorkers but for busy women everywhere women who appreciate this modern quicker way of keeping nice things lovely longer and you'll agree that that's an important service nowadays especially when nice fabrics are scarce We're off to Coney Island and the first act of tonight's play, starring Betty Gravel as Kate Farley, victim-ature as Eddie Johnson,

and Barry Sullivan as Joe Rocko. The closest spot to heaven is probably the top of the Empire State Building. But 40 years ago, New Yorkers came closest to Paradise at a breezed swept beach on the Atlantic Ocean.
