Mister 880

Lux presents Hollywood. Here with others company, the makers of Lux Flakes bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Dana Andrews, Edmund Gwen and Mala Powers in Mr. 880. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Key with greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sure you're all aware of the tremendous task accomplished by our Treasury Department in protecting the public from counterfeit money. In tonight's play, Mr. 880, we will present a case that had one of the top agents of that department completely baffled because the unknown counterfeiter made nothing but $1 bills, which he used only when he really

needed money. Recreating his original role in this unique comedy is Edmund Gwen, one of our most beloved character actors, and co-starting as a new romantic team, Dana Andrews and Malapowers. Mr. 880 was made into a screen success by 20th century Fox, not only to amuse and entertain you, but also to give you some idea of the ingenious work

done by the agents of our Treasury Department, which reminds me, Lux flakes are a treasure for the modern housewife. For new Lux is enriched with color freshener and can be dependent upon to protect the delicate colors in your fine washables.

You're assured of gentle, safe washing care with Lux flakes. Now, Mr. 880 starring Dana Andrews as Steve Buchanan, Edmund Gwen as Skipper and Mala Powers as Anne. The records of the United States Secret Service would indicate that it's almost impossible for a counterfeiter to stay in business very long without being caught, but the records also show that it has been done.

The case is known as number 880, the oldest unsolved counterfeiting case on file. The scene of Mr. 880's activity is his New York, where for 10 unhappy years he's driven the Secret Service wild. Now and then when patience runs out, they'll call in a troubleshooter from one of their other offices.
