The Dark Corner

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux toilets hope, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Lucille Ball and Mark Stevens in The Dark Corner. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The other day at the studio, Fred Colmar, prominent 20th century Fox producer, was telling me how a few years ago when he was a young film executive, he chanced to see a Titian-haired young model, whom he thought had great screen possibilities, Lucille Ball. Little did he dream that some years later he'd be starring that same

Titian-haired beauty in his production and our play tonight The Dark Corner, thereby vindicating his judgment. Co-starred with Miss Ball is another player whose risen rapidly to well-deserved eminence on the screen, Mark Stevens. Both superbly cast, I think you'll agree, in a hard-hitting melodrama of murder, mystery, and romance. And that reminds me of another

mystery story. One concerning Lux Toiletsu. It's from Mrs. Vivian Gardner of Santa Barbara, who discovered that for some weeks Lux soap was mysteriously disappearing from her cupboard. a competent detective work, she finally traced it to her teenage daughter.

That young lady said, My mother, I thought you knew. I just took the soap to put in my bureau as sachets, because I just loved the lux toilet soap fragrance. Well, I'm sure Mrs. Godman meted out to her daughter, no more punishment than a compliment for her ingenuity and good taste.

It's playtime and star time, and here they are, Lucille Ball as Kathleen, and Mark Stevens as Bradford Galt in act one of the Dark Corner, New York City, a sultry summer afternoon. In an old-fashioned office building, Detective Lieutenant Reeves is making a routine visit.
