From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theater presents Lawrence Tibbitt and Helen Jepsen in North America. Lux presents Hollywood. I want to say thank you to the thousands and thousands of women who buy Lux toilets so regularly.
This kind of loyalty is what makes this program possible. Late last week, Mr. Lawrence Tibbitt and Ms. Helen Jepsen arrived in Hollywood, making a special trip from the East to Star Forest tonight in Victor Herbert's romantic musical play, North America. Our guest tonight is the world champion motion picture fan, Mr. A. B. Oldfield.
The Lutz Radio Theater Orchestra is conducted by Lewis Silver. And now, here's our producer. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil B. Tamille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The Royal Young Singer, there's great inspiration in the magnificent voices of Lawrence Tibbitt and in Helen Jepsen, but you don't have to be a singer to be inspired by the exhilarating
stories of their success. Mr. Tibbitt is the son of a cowboy, who, like wild Bill Hickock, belonged to the last of the valiant peace marshals who built the West. Sheriff of Kern County, California, he was killed in a gun battle before his son came to fame, and Lawrence was raised by his mother, who ran a boarding house.
Later on he lived in a ramshackle sort of place which he rented for $12.50 a month, but was so delinquent in payment that he picked grapes and prune vines to pay off his back rent.
