Father Was a Fullback

Lux presents Hollywood. Leiber Brothers Company, the makers of Lux's toilet soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Paul Douglas and Maureen O'Hara in Father Was a Full Back with Betty Lynn. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. If in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, So in the fall his heart goes out to the poor football coach whose team can't win games.

But even as you and your neighbor, the coach has other problems that go on all year long. For instance, the adventure of raising a family. And when the family includes a daughter who has a certain amount of difficulty attracting a boyfriend, well, it's after the hit motion picture.

We hear this side of the coach's life tonight. In the 20th Century Fox comedy success, father was a pole bag. In her original role, we have a lovely lady whose vivid beauty always brightens this stage, Miss Marina Hara.

Co-starring with her as the coach who is without fame in his own house, is a comedian whose rapid rise to stardom is unique even in this fabulous city. Mr. Paul Douglas, and as the daughter, we present Miss Betty Lin, the same talented young actress you saw on the screen.

You know, I'm sure none of the young ladies of our audience need to be coached on the advantage of Luxe's toilet soap. After seeing close-ups of their favorite stars on the screen, they know that Luxe's soap complexion care is the right beauty care for them.

Now here's the first act of Father Was a Fullback, starring Paul Douglas as George and Marina Hara as Liz, with Betty Lin as Connie. It's Saturday, late afternoon, and Good Old State University has lost another football game.
