The 39 Steps

From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Robert Montgomery and Ida Lupino in the 39 Steps. Lux presents Hollywood. For your loyalty to our products, Lux says thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and brings you another hour of entertainment direct from the film capital.

Tonight, we star Robert Montgomery, Ida Lupino, Isabelle Jull and Jean Machart with Major C. E. Russell, formerly of the United States Intelligent Service, as the evening's special guest. Lewis Silvers conducts the orchestra. And here beside me, our producer and your host, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The 39 steps lead an old friend at a newcomer, Robert Montgomery and Ida Lupino, to the stage of the Lux Radio Theatre. Since he'll last, Robert Montgomery's been rushing back and forth between two lots.

One is the Metro Golden Mayor studio Mayor's studio where with Rosalind Russell, he's completed Live, Love and Learn. The others are lot in Beverly Hills, on which Bob has just finished building a new home with a beautiful library.

And Bob is a man who really uses his library for his constantly seeking new screen material. President of the Screen Actors Guild, Bob devotes at least three nights a week to that organization. So this fall he took time off to go to his farm in New York State for a few weeks of

potterage and pheasant hunting. His favorite Hollywood sport is tennis, in which activity he's expert enough to be the frequent opponent of Sydney Wood, the ex-Davis Cup player. Bob is heard tonight as Richard Hane in the 39 Steps, adapted from the Gomont British film, which in turn was taken from the novel by John Bucken.
