Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave your brother's company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Catherine Hepburn and Robert Taylor in Undercurrent. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. King's from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

From time to time, as we pass each other on the narrow drive that leads to our respective homes, I scraped fenders with one of my most charming neighbors, Catherine Hepburn. But in spite of our frequent and more friendly contacts, I found Catherine very difficult to lure before a microphone.

Together, Bob and Catherine bring you Metro Golden Mares' thrilling screen hit on the current. Last Monday night, when we announced tonight's screenplay in Stars, the audience response was, to say the least, terrific. And I might say that the same is true of audience reaction when it comes to Lux Flakes.

Hundreds of listeners who've used Lux Flakes to care for precious fabrics have written us their appreciation. I only wish I had time to answer them in person. But I am sure that the help which Lux Blake's offer is a answer in itself.

And your loyalty to our product enables us to bring you such exciting fare as undercurrent, with such brilliant stars as Catherine Hepburn and Robert Taylor. They appear, respectively, as Anne Hamilton and Alan Garaway, as the curtain rises on our first act.

It was a marriage no one ever would have predicted. Anne Hamilton, Preserve, Unaspiring, and Alan Garaway. The wealthy celebrated inventor of the Garaway Distance Control. Garaway brought his bride to Washington. Their first night there, he displayed her before a large, select group of friends.
