Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave your brother's company, the makers of Lux Flake, bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Robert Montgomery and Audrey Tutter in Lady in the Lake. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.

Things from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Almost all of us at one time or another have a secret hankering to play detective. Tonight we give you that opportunity to join in solving one of the screen's most baffling murder mysteries.

You'll meet the possible suspects and you'll find the clues in Metro Golden Mares' thrilling screen hit, Lady in the Lake, based on Raymond Chandler's novel and currently playing in theaters throughout America. And you'll have the help of Robert Montgomery in the starring role of Ace Detective Philip Marlowe.

We invite them now to exercise that smartness in solving the mystery of the Lady in the Lake, starring Robert Montgomery as Philip Marlowe and Audrey Tauter as Adrian Fromcett. My name is Marlowe. Philip Marlowe, Occupation, Private Detective.
