All About Eve

Lux presents Hollywood! Leave Your Brother's Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Betty Davis and Baxter, Reginald Gardner and Gary Merrill in All About Eve. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

While I was directing plays on the New York stage, I had a first-hand opportunity to watch the frantic struggle of young actresses to attain stardom in the theatre. But I'm happy to say that none of them use the tactics of the young woman in our play tonight all about Eve. I first read of Eve's unorthodox behavior in a magazine story by Mary Orr entitled

The Wisdom of Eve. And I was delighted to see Twentieth Century Fox turn it into the Academy Award-winning Picture of 1950. A portion of this honor may be attributed to the unforgettable performances of Betty Davis and Baxter and Gary Merrill. We're very gratified to present them tonight in their original roles, starring with Reginald Gardner as the malicious critic.

And I'm sure if we really knew all about Eve, we'd discover Lux Flakes in her household. Lux Flakes are a must for all discriminating women, who demand gentle, safer, washing care. Now, all about Eve, starring Betty Davis as Margot and Baxter as Eve, Reginald Gardner as Addison de Witte and Gary Merrill as Bill.

To those of the New York Theatre, no other tribute, critical acclaim or glorification can approach the heights of recognition represented in the Sarah Siddance Award for Distinguished Achievement. A moment ago in the venerable Hall of the Sarah Siddance Society, this most cherished honor came to a young actress named Eve Harrington.

Among the many eminent personalities present is the noted critic Edison DeWitt. radiant poise, she's about to make her speech of acceptance. The hall rings with applause and bravos, everyone is looking at Eve. All except Karen Richards.
