Lux presents Hollywood. Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux's Twilight Soul, brings you the Lux Radio Theater starring, Band-Aly and Dorothy McGuire in a Blueprint for Murder. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings.

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's play of Blueprint for Murder is a spine-tingling mystery. The thrilling drama of a romance which was overshadowed by the suspicion of murder. It's the quandary of a young man who suspects that the lovely young widow of his brother may be a diabolical poisoner.

And as our stars, we are popular Dan Daly and Dorothy Maguire, creating two unusual roles in the suspenseful motion picture from 20th Century Fox. But for a moment, let's listen to Kevin Carpenter. They say at springtime that'll turn a young man's fancy to, uh, thoughts of, you know what, but I know that a really feminine looking gal can turn a man's fancy and his head any time of the year.

And there's nothing more feminine than sheer, lovely nylon stockings. And of course, no care but Lux Flakes care for them. 96% of stocking manufacturers recommend Lux Flakes. It pays you to follow their advice, because Lux Flakes Care can actually double where you get from every pair.

So always give your nylons gentle Lux Flakes Care. And when you're picking up Lux Flakes the market, be sure to get the new Lux too, Lux Liquid Determinate. It's made just for the dishes job.

Even though the carpenters have been using Lux Liquid for months now, I still can't get over how quickly it floats grease off plates and glasses. And so little will do so much. Just a teaspoon full does a dishpan full.

…

Cameron, I'm Dr. Wells. Mrs. Cameron is inside. Another few moments, and it would have been too late. She found Dr. Wells as soon as we left. Dr. She... she lived? Yes, Mr. Cameron. She lived.

Lynn Cameron was convicted of murder in the first degree. her sentence, life and prison. And so did the names of Madeline Smith, Florence Maybrick and Lydia Trueblood, and all those other young beautiful but evil poison murderers was added that of Lynn Cameron. Something to remember? Perhaps Doug and I, we're trying to forget. Our stars will return in a moment.

Pepso Dents New Flavor! Pepso Dents New Flavor! Pepso Dents New Flavor! Pepso Dents New Flavor! Yes, the big news is Pepsodent has a brand new wonderful flavor. Now, here's Mr. Cummings with our stars. Please step forward, Dandy Lee and Dorothy McGuire.
