Miracle of the Bells

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilets Hope, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Fred McMurray, Valley and Frank Sinatra in The Miracle of the Bells. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. It's not often that you can see the film version of a book on the screen that's still on the bestseller list throughout the country. And it's not often that we can broadcast the screenplay of a story that's still being read in thousands, if not millions, of homes.

But such is our good fortune tonight with Lasky McEwan's current film production of Russell Janney's book, The Miracle of the Bells. And we bring it to you now with three great stars, Fred McMurray, Valle, and Frank Sinatra playing their original screen roles.

Many of the scenes on the miracle of the bells were filmed on actual location in a typical Pennsylvania mining village. And from such a place, close to the setting of tonight's play as a matter of fact, comes a letter from a good friend of this theatre.

She writes, In a town where certain smoke are almost unavoidable, it's always a problem taking care of your complexion. But with luck soap, I have never had trouble keeping my skin looking fresh and lovely.

We appreciate luck soap as much as we enjoy your Monday evening broadcasts, and that's saying a great deal. Well, as one way of saying thanks to this kind listener, we raise our curtain on Act 1 of RKO's current hit release, The Miracle of the Bells, starring Fred McMurray as Bill Dunnegan, Valle as Alga, and Frank Sinatra as Father Paul.
