Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toile and Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Maureen O'Hara and John Hodeac in The Foxes of Harrow. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.
Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Just a few days ago, Maureen O'Hara was in London. But her answer to our invitation to co-star with John Hodyak in the Foxes of Harrow was prompt and practical. She flew across the Atlantic to New York, stepped from one plane to another, and across the United States to Hollywood. The 20th Century Fox screen hit, which brings these two stars to our stage,
is a drama of high adventure. An old New Orleans is the setting where the notorious Stephen Fox gambles for his greatest stake, the most beautiful girl of her day. New Orleans women were famous then for their loveliness, a nearer when a product like Lux Toile Its Hope would have been a fantastic luxury. Now this gay city of the Mardigrou is more fascinating than ever, and the women are even
lovelier, because this is the day of beautiful Lux complexion. The curtain rises on the foxes of of Harrow, starring John Horiak as Stephen Fox and Marina Hara as Odley. The Mississippi River, 1827. A passenger boat bound for New Orleans has stopped in midstream, and a gangplank dropped to an adjoining sandbar. At the rail, a man stands watching the proceedings
with particular interest. That's you. Oh, good afternoon. Why are we stopping here? to put a man off at that sandbar. But how horrible when the tide rises he'll be drowned. Undoubtedly. But they say it's better than starving to death.
