O'clock. Locks presents Hollywood. In the Brothers Company, the makers of Luxe, Silent Soap bring you the Luxe Radio Theater, starring Janet Lee and Fernando Lamas in Strictly Dishonorable. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Conning.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's play, Strictly Dishonorable, is strictly for laughs. This frothy comedy from Metro Goh and Mayor is full of light, hearted romance, and we hope its good humor will help to usher in the gaitie of our holiday season.

in her original role, and the handsome Latin for Nando L Abbas. It's not a coincidence that beauty and talent often go hand-in-hand.

Anyway, on this fine spring morning, one of his younger fans has called at the Opera House to plead with an assistant stage manager. Oh, please, sir. All I wanted to be one of those girls in the mob scenes, that's all.
