Leave the brothers company, the makers of Luxe toilet soap, bring you the Luxe Radio Theater, starring Betty Grateful and Victor Mature in Wal-Das Avenue. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keelley. From Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, it's an unfortunate fact that occasionally we can't stop the wheels of progress, because although we enjoy
the luxury of modern invention, sometimes we long for the good old days. One way to solve this serious problem is by turning back the hands of time. Now you might find this a little difficult, but not on a luck radio theatre.
We'll just present an astounding musical from 20th Century Fox, which takes us back to the turn of the century and Wal-Bash Avenue. As our stars, we have that wonderful combination from the original cast, Betty Grebel and victim-ature who will bring to life the colorful world of a hunky-tunk on Chicago's War Bash Avenue.
And today on any avenue, you see our modern girls with their lovely luxe complexions, which goes to prove that the modern mist has the advantage after all. She can depend on luxe toilet soap for her beauty care.
The curtain rises on War Bash Avenue, starting Betty Grable as Ruby Summers and victim-ature as Andy Clark. The cargo of the 1890s. In a boisterous brawling section of town known as Wabash Avenue, one of the most popular spots is Mike Stanley's Cafe.
In his office, Mike Stanley has a visitor. Andy! Andy Clark! Well, come in, pal. Sit down. How are you, Mike? I'm fine. Just as pretty as ever. Tell me something, Dimples. How come you're so nervous all of a sudden?
Nervous? Nervous? Who's nervous? Well, down sir, out there frisk me for a gun before he let me come in. Oh, I told him you were a friend of mine. Did he find the gun? Would you like to frisk me yourself?
