Little Women

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilets Hope, bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring June Allison, Peter Lawford, Margaret O'Brien, and Janet Lee in Little Women. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling.

From Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, Little Women is one of the most enjoyable stories ever written. It has only endearing qualities that make for real drama, laughter, from man's and tears. And never has the story been presented more expertly or with greater artistry than in the recent picture from the studios of Metro Golden Mayor.

Tonight's play is based on this picture and we have four of the original stars. First, June Allison, whose warmth and sincerity have made her an outstanding attraction. Peter Lofford with all his charm and talent, Margaret O'Brien in one of her most appealing roles, and lovely and gracious Janet Lee, to complete one of the greatest cast we've ever presented.

Little Women is the story of the March Sisters and their romances. Four girls whose loves and ambitions are completely different, but who are bound together by happy family ties, a story beloved by three generations of Americans.

You know, every day we receive letters from modern little women, telling us that Lux Toilet Soap is the complexion care in their homes. Mothers set the example and daughters follow. A good rule where Luxe's complexions are concerned.

The curtain rises on the home of our little women, starting June Allison as the unforgettable Joe, Peter Lofford as Laurie, Margaret O'Brien as Beth, and Janet Lee as Meg, who tells our story. We were four sisters, Amy, Joe, Beth, and I.

I shall start our story during that winter of 1864 when Papa was still away at war. What a miserable Christmas we all thought. How happy Christmas it really was. Well, at least we have a Christmas tree, Amy, and I think it's beautiful.
