Mister Blandings Builds His Dream House

Lux presents Hollywood. Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Carrie Grant and Irene Dunn in Mr. Blanding's Builds his Dream House. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. No two stars have given so many performances performances that honestly rate the word classic as Irene Dunn and Kerry Grant. And tonight we've reunited this famous team in a comedy as timely as today's headlines.

It's the RKO picture, Miss The Blandings builds his dream house. You know almost everyone has had a housing problem at some time or other? And the Blandings had their troubles even as you and I.

In fact, they had so much trouble, their story became a hit-motion picture. You know, you have your idea that Dream House and your neighbor has another. But one thing is certain. Any well-run Dream House will include a supply of the new bath-sized Luxe toilet soap.

Whatever the arguments about architecture, most people agree Luxe soap is perfect. Now, here's the curtain for Mr. Blanding's bills his Dream House, starring Cary Grant in his original screen role as Jim and Irene Dunn as Muriel.

Like millions of other New Yorkers, Jim and Muriel Blandings and their two young daughters are Cliff dwellers. Home to them is an apartment. Oh, adequate but somewhat crowded. Not that Jim isn't doing well, he's a college graduate, makes 15,000 a year in the advertising business.

Anyway, on this crisp September morning, Jim Blanding's has just staggered out of bed and commenced a typical seven o'clock ritual. You're looking for something, dear? Mm, oh, you're awake. I'm looking for my socks. Why don't you look in your sock drawer?
