Dear Ruth

Lux presents Hollywood. Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilets, so bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring John Callfield, William Holden, and Billy DeWolfe in Dear Ruth. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

Greeting from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, several years ago, my good friend Norman Krasner wrote a most refreshing stage play called Dear Ruth. Broadway took it to its heart, and so did picture audiences. When Paramount cast it to perfection with William Holden as the Flying Lieutenant, Joan Callfield as the Lady in Questions and Billy de Wolfe

as the third party in this boisterous, romantic comedy. We're happy to present it now with those original delightful stars. The background of our story is a typical American home. which is another way of saying, a home in which Lux Toilet Soap is a very common fixture.

And the young ladies in our play are also typical, which is to say that while they behave in a highly unpredictable bewildering manner, they doubtless share an American preference for Lux Soap, which is a favorite beauty care of girls romantically inclined.

As to where those romantic inclinations often lead, here's the first act of dear Ruth, Starling Joan Caulfield in the title role, William Holden as Bill and Billy DeWolf as Albert with Alan Reid as Judge Wilkins.

It's a Saturday morning, a way way back in 1944. In the Wilkins home in a pleasant suburb of New York City, the youngest member of the family aged 16 has descended for breakfast. Come and sit down, Maryam.

You're going to be like the music lesson. Yes, Mother. How you can be so concerned with my music lesson with the world in upheaval, I fail to comprehend. Now, dear, we've been all through there.
