Lux presents Hollywood! Lever brought this company, the makers of Lux's toilet soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Victor Mature, Colleen Gray, and Richard Whitmark in Kiss of Death. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley!

CHEERING Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In recent years, a number of Hollywood producers have departed from the field of fiction in favor of portraying facts. Facts filmed where they actually took place. By doing this, they attain a reality that is powerfully dramatic.

I'm using the same technique in the picture which I'm making now. Twenty-a-century Fox employed this factual technique too in filming their recent screen hit, Kiss of Death, which which we present with its original stars, Victor Mature, Colleen Gray, and that exciting new actor, Richard Widmark.

Kiss of Death is an absorbing tale of love and crime detection based on the original narrative by Elieza Lipsky, a former assistant district attorney in New York City, where our play unfolds. I think you'll agree there's no substitute for beauty facts too, which is why screen stars themselves who must be sure of a radiant and lovely skin for camera close-ups, depends

so faithfully on luxo care. In fact, I'm sure that goes for lovely women everywhere. I see by the clock it's time for kiss of death, and here's our first act, starting victim mature as Nick Bianco, Colleen Gray as Nettie, and Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo.

New York City, the Criminal Courts Building, the Office of Louis D'Angelo, Assistant District Attorney. You can sit down, Bianco. You know who I am? What difference is it, make who you are? Never mind getting dressed, Bianco.
