Luck of the Irish

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave her brother's company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Dana Andrews, Anne Baxter, and Cecil Calloway in The Luck of the Irish. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kele.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we have one of the strangest characters ever to appear in a lucked radio theater. It's a leprechaun, one of those famed little men of Ireland who according to legend are forever mending shoes and who, if you can catch them, can lead you straight to a pot of gold.

Being Irish, they can be depended upon to lend romance to helping hand and see that the right girl gets the right boy. In the luck of the Irish, adapted from the delightful 20th Century Fox picture, the right boy and girl are played tonight by Dana Andrews and Ann Baxter, and the mysterious leprechaun by Cecil Callaway.

I suppose in other times it could easily be believed that the foamy studs from tiny diamonds of lux could only be the work of some wondrous creature like a leprechaun. Actually, they're a triumph of the world-famous lever laboratories.

But however it happens, the leprechauns and lux-glakes do their jobs the same magic way. Here's the curtain for the luck of the Irish, starring Dana Andrews as Stephen and Baxter as Nora and Cecil Kellewey as Horace.

Three countryside, late one summer afternoon. At the edge of a narrow, bumpy road, an automobile's come to an unscheduled stop. That's no use, Bill. I'm afraid we burned a bearing. Oh, fine. First we lose our way.

Well, anyway, as long as we stick to the sea coast, we're bound to hit Shannon. What have you are a couple of days like getting back to New York, Vince? But once the great Mr. Orger can wait.
