Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Ray Milan and Elizabeth Scott in The Perfect Marriage. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.

From Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. And so they were married and lived happily ever after. Well, most motion pictures, like most books and stories, end on that optimistic note.
