Sitting Pretty

Lux presents Hollywood. Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre. Proudly presenting Photo Play Magazine's gold medal award picture, Sitting Pretty, starring Robert Young, Maureen O'Hara and Clifton Webb.

Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealy. Things from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. This is the big night of the season in the Lux Radio Theatre Because tonight, we present the picture that you, the moviegoers of America, have chosen as the one you liked best in 1948.

It's that delightful comedy, Sitting Friday, selected by you in a nationwide poll for PhotoPlay magazine. Our stars are Marina Hara, Clifton Webb and Robert Young, the original cast, which made the picture a hit for 20th Century Fox.

Later tonight's performance, Sitting Pretty will receive Photo Play magazine's coveted gold medal award, one of Hollywood's highest honors. We had an idea some time ago that Sitting Pretty might win this award because every male has brought requests for it.

These letters told us what you thought of Lux flakes too, and I'm sure that if we could take a poll of housewives, their gold medal award would go to Lux flakes. Here's the curtain going up for Act 1 of Sitting Pretty, starring Clifton Webb as Lynn Belvedere, Robert Young as Harry, and Maureen O'Hara as Tacey.

Hunting Bird Hill is a typical suburban community, where everybody knows a little more than just the little about everybody else. For example, the neighbors all know that the Harry King's housekeeper simply up and quit today, leaving that nice Mrs. King with that big house, three noisy children and that terrible dog to take care of all by herself.
