The Bishops Wife

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave Your Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Tyrone Power, David Niven, and Jane Greer in The Bishop's Wife. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey.

Making this from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, home again after an absence of a year and a half is one of America's favorite stars, and is here tonight to lend an extra thrill to our holiday season.

I mean, of course, Tyrone Power, who joins David Niven and Jane Greer in our Christmas present to you, the delightful play, the Bishop's Wife. Samuel Goldwyn's fine and sensitive screen production won your hearts as well as your applause.

And those who saw the picture will have a special welcome tonight for David Niven, who plays his original screen role as the bishop. I'm sure most of you are quite busy these days with last-minute shopping and getting the house in order for the holidays, a time of year when you'll need plenty of lux flakes.

In fact, there's a most unusual holiday use for lux flakes on your Christmas tree, which we'll tell you about later. Now the curtain for Act 1 of the Bishop's Wife, starring Tyrone Power as Dudley, David Niven as the Bishop, and Jane Greer as Julia.

It's a late afternoon in December. In a rather shabby section of a large city, two old friends have an unexpected meeting. Julia, what a wonderful surprise, my dear, beautiful Julia. Professor Wutheridge, but what are you doing here?

I'm about to negotiate the purchase of a Christmas tree. I didn't know you celebrated Christmas. I thought you had no religion. I don't, but I like a Christmas tree. reminds me of my childhood. Can you imagine me ever having been a child? Tell me, how's Henry?
