The Lux Summer Theatre. The Brother's Company, the makers of Lux's toilet soap, brings you the Lux Summer Theatre, starring Joseph Cotton in romance to a degree. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Don Wilson. Well, vacation time is about half over, and I wonder how many of you are still contemplating a trip to Hollywood.

In tonight's play, we'd like to tell you about a young man who came to our glamorous city one summer to study literature. He also receives a first-hand opportunity to study some of our more fabulous citizens.

And as the star of this romantic comedy, we have that excellent actor Joseph Cotton. Oh, but just a minute, here's Francis Scully waving a letter at me. Who's the letter from, Francis? A friend of mine who's on a vacation, Don, and listened to this postscript.

Thanks loads for putting that box of lux flakes into my suitcase. My nylons would be lost without it. Yes, smart women know Lux Flakes Care is real, stocking saving magic. Lux Flakes Care is so soft and mild.

And now, Joseph Cotton, starring in Kathleen Heitz' delightful story, romance to a degree. The Westways bus left Kansas City bound for Los Angeles and all intervening stops Friday morning at 9 o'clock.
