Deep Waters

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave the Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Dana Andrews, Donna Reed, and Anne Revere in Deep Waters. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey.

Things from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Since the days of the clipper ship, men of the main coast have followed the sea. They've conquered its storms, lauded its beauties, and scorned the lowly landlubber. Tonight's play is the drama of such a man, of a girl who loves him and a child who brings them together.

It's the 20th Century Fox motion picture, Deep Waters, the story of great charm and sincerity, and we have the same star you saw in the film, Dana Andrews. Playing opposite Dana tonight is a young lady who's always been a favorite here, the lovely and talented Donna Reed.

The scene of the play is that stern and rock-bound shore called Down East. As a matter of fact, it's probably the most easterly point in America where Lux flakes are used. But East or West, the American housewives know that Lux flakes are equally dependable everywhere and they act accordingly.

It's playtime and here's the curtain rising for the first act of deep waters, starring Dana Andrews as hard, Donna Reed as Anne, and Anne Revere as Mary. A little fishing village on the coast of Maine.

A car stopped at a pleasant little house not far from the bay. A car bearing the emblem, state of Maine, welfare department. A young woman and a boy have reached the end of a journey.

Well, Donnie, it's a nice house isn't it? Yes, ma'am. Look at that bald-headed schooner out there in the bay. She just liked the one Marco Ma used to have. Yes, Donnie. You like boats, Miss Freeman?
