John Loves Mary

Lux presents Hollywood. The production of the show is of Lux Week. The Lux Radio Theater. Starring Ronald Reagan and Patricia Neal in John Loves Mary. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer Mr. William Keeley, speaking to you tonight from Gallaudieu, Mexico.

Leading from Gallaudieu, Mexico, ladies and gentlemen. In selecting tonight's script, we look for a certain kind of play with no serious message. No act to grind, no purpose, but the very desirable one of entertaining you.

And I know that just what John Love's Mary will do. My friend Norman Kratzner wrote the Broadway success, which became a Warner Brothers hit on the screen. And tonight, our stars play their original picture roles.

First, Ronald Reagan. You know I can't think of a better choice for a typical American GI. And then Patricia Neal, whose fresh beauty is perfect for the American girl back home. You know there's nothing more commendable than doing a good deed for a buddy, such as loaning him money or your only clean shirt.

But I think you'll agree that in John Love's Mary, John goes just a little too far. But before you discover John's great sacrifice, I want to remind you about next week. After our play tonight, we'll announce a special attraction for our closing broadcast of the season.

One of your favorite pictures with two of your extra favorite stars, a combination you've requested in your letters many times. And we'd like to thank you for those letters, because you've also been kind enough to tell us that Lux Flakes are a favorite of yours too.

No for many seasons now, your favorite stars and Lux Flakes have been a perfect combination. Now, John loves Mary, starring Ronald Reagan as John and Patricia Neal as Mary. 43, a young man named John Lawrence left his sweetheart Mary and went off the war.
