Transcript

Hollywood California Monday April 26th. The Lux Radio Theatre presents Irene Dunn and Robert Taylor in magnificent obsession. Lux presents Hollywood, our stars Irene Dunn and Metro Golden Mayor Sensational Personality Robert Taylor with Pedro de Córdoba, Sarah Hayden and Barbara Kentes.

Our guests, Dr. Lloyd C. Douglas, author of Magdival, Obsession and Other Best-Selling Novels and John Arnold, head of Metro Golden Mayor's Camera Department and President of the American Society of Cinematographers. Our producers Cecil B. DeMille, our conductor, Louis Silvers. On behalf of our sponsors, the makers of Lux Toilets Oak, welcome to Hollywood and the Lux Radio Theatre. A girl can't be too young

to start guarding her complexion. There's Deanna Durbin, for instance, the girl who made an overnight hit in Universal's three smart girls. She's only 14, but already she's protecting her complexion, the luxe toilet soap way.

Here's what Deanna Durban says about this gentle soap. I like luxe toilet soap too. I see all the grown-up actresses using it, and Mother says I can't begin too young to take the best care of my complexion.

Grown-ups use luxe toilet soap to guide against cosmetic skin, doneness, tiny blemishes, and large pores. It's active, rather removed, cosmetic, thoroughly. Keep skin, clear, and smooth. Try it for yourself and see. And now, our producer, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil D. Jamil!

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. From boyhood to the moment that Metro Goldwood Mayor discovered him in Pomona College. It was the ambition of Robert Taylor to follow in the footsteps of his physician father.

Today they'll perched on the highest pinnacle of motion picture stardom. Bob still attends medical lectures and believes that medicine is the finest career in the world. It's something of a coincidence, therefore, that this amazingly popular young actor should have made his first marked success on the screen as a physician, first in society doctor, then in tonight's play, magnificent obsession.
