Sorry Wrong Number

Lux presents Hollywood. Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Barbara Stanley and Bert Lancaster in Sorry Wrong Number. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's play reverses the usual relation between radio and motion pictures. Sorry Wrong Number was first a radio drama, and it achieved such success on the air that Hal Wallace decided to make a picture of it.

He assigned the author, Lucille Fletcher, to expand her short drama into a full-length screenplay, and the result was a triumph of suspense drama. The rest of the success story you know, because the Paramount picture with Barbara Stanwick and Bert Lancaster as the stars was one of the top films of the year.

Tonight, sorry wrong number completes the circle and comes back to radio with Miss Stanwick and Mr. Lancaster in their original screen rows. Just as our drama had a double success story, so has our product Lux Toilet Soup.

It's been a favorite for years in the regular size and now the new bath size has made Lux soap and hit all over again. The curtain rises now for the first act of saree wrong number starring Barbara Stanwick as Leona and Bert Lancaster as Henry.

In the tangled network of a great city, the telephone is the unseen link between a million lives, serving to our common needs, confident of our inmost secrets. Life and happiness I'll just wait upon its wings, and horror and loneliness, and sometimes even death.

Operator, operator, operator. You'll call, please. Operator, I've been ringing Murray Hill 3, 2, 4, 9, 1, for the last half hour, and the line is always busy. Will you ring it for me, please? Murray Hill, please.
