Transcript

Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Plates, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Bertland Castor, Jetchandler and Deborah Patchett in Broken Arrow. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keelie. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Too often in our western pictures, the American Indian has been cast in the role of villain. Or according to the Western movie code, the white man is always the hero. However, in tonight's play, Broken Arrow, we have two heroes, one an American Indian, famous leader of the ferocious Apache tribe, the other an American frontiersman, whose understanding

of his savage enemy brought peace and goodwill to the early West. As the stars of this current screen success from the 20th Century Fox studios, we have Bert Lancaster, who was kind enough to step in and play the role when James Stewart suddenly became ill.

Coast Arring is Jeff Chandler, who, by the way, is a special favorite of ours. Because when he was a supporting actor in this theatre, we knew it was just the matter of time till Hollywood claimed him.

for romance, we have adorable little Deborah Patchett, whom we first welcome to this stage as a starlet. And as a starlet, Deborah told us how much she relied on Lux Blake's to maintain her personal wardrobe. Lux Blake's are always a favorite of stars and their studios because of the gentle, protective care they give. Now, Broken Arrow, starring Bert Lancaster as Tom

Jeff Chandler as Coaches and Deborah Padgett as Sanciare. This is the story of a lamb, of the people who lived on it in the year 1870, and the two men, one named Coaches and the other Tom Jeffords, who tells our story.
