Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Humphrey Bogart and Walter Houston in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealy.
Things from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's play is an exciting dramatic story of a man's greed for gold. It was one of the really fine motion pictures of recent years, the Warner Brothers hit, the treasure of the Seattle Madre, and tonight we present the original stars of the film, Humphrey Bogart and Walter Euston, the latter in the role that won him in Academy Award.
If Housewives had the equivalent of an Academy Award to bestow, I believe most of them would give that award to Lux Flakes. They're accustomed to its fine performance, and Lux Flakes keeps up the record year after year.
Our stars are on stage and here's the curtain for the treasure of the Sierra Montre starting Humphrey Bogot as dogs and Walter Euston as Howard. First time to come up with us in Tampego, that's a sheep port term.
Tampego, northeast Mexico. I was having a beer near the docks when they came in hot Sunday afternoon. You a fellow American? Yeah, that's right, mister. What do you want? I want to know about a guy named McCormick.
You ever hear of him? McCormick? McCormick. Oh yeah, in the oil business. That's right oil. Have you seen him lately? Why can't we find him? I was your gentleman, I'd run clear. I'm a corpsman.
He hires coup to work in the oil field. See, then he never pays him off. Slick. Slick my coil. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Don't mean to tell me. He's hooked to smart fellow Americans like you.
