Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux, Soil at Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Jack Carson, Doris Elamour, and Robert Alda in April Showers. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.

Warner Brothers made the picture, and starring this evening are Jack Carson in his original screen roll, Dorothy LeMour as his partner on stage and off, and Robert Aller, also from the film cast.

Luck showers put a smile of contentment on anyone who tries the new bath size looks toward itself. And here's the full order of smiles and songs now as the curtain rises on April showers.
