- 0:00Speaker 1: Lux Presents Hollywood.
- 0:14Speaker 2: The Let's Radio Theater brings you Greer Garson, Walter Pigeon
- 0:17Speaker 2: and Susan Peters in Missus Minniver with Ensign Henry Wilcoxon.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, mister Tescil B. DeMille, Greetings
- 0:35Speaker 2: from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. When everyone in Hollywood agrees
- 0:39Speaker 2: on anything that's news, and you can't get an argument
- 0:42Speaker 2: out of anyone in our town when you say that
- 0:44Speaker 2: Missus Minover was one of the great pictures of film history.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Like a beacon in the night, it brought guidance and
- 0:51Speaker 2: inspirations when we needed it most, and Hollywood recognizes that
- 0:56Speaker 2: service by making Missus Miniver the over choice for the
- 1:01Speaker 2: last Academy Award. Tonight we present it to the same
- 1:04Speaker 2: two stars who gave such magnificent performances in the Metro
- 1:07Speaker 2: Goldren Mayor picture, Greer Garson and Water Pigeon, And with
- 1:12Speaker 2: them we have Susan Peters and from the United States
- 1:15Speaker 2: Coast Guard, Ensign Henry Wilcoxon.
- 1:19Speaker 1: We all know that.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Greer Garson won the Academy Award for her performance as
- 1:22Speaker 2: Missus Miniver, But that performance and all the others never
- 1:26Speaker 2: seems like acting to me. Only fine artists can lift
- 1:30Speaker 2: a drama to so high a plane, And very soon
- 1:33Speaker 2: we'll have a chance to see Greer Garson and water
- 1:36Speaker 2: Pigeon together again in Metro Goldren Mayor's new entry for
- 1:40Speaker 2: the Academy Award, Madame Curie. We borrowed Susan Peters from
- 1:44Speaker 2: the same studio where she just finished Song of Russia.
- 1:49Speaker 2: For nine years now, stars like these have helped to
- 1:52Speaker 2: make the Lux Radio Theater a national theatre, and lux
- 1:56Speaker 2: Flakes has made it possible for us to present them
- 1:59Speaker 2: in the big hits of Broadway in Hollywood.
- 2:02Speaker 3: You don't have to buy anything.
- 2:04Speaker 2: To get a seat in this theater because there's no
- 2:06Speaker 2: one collecting tickets in.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Your living room.
- 2:09Speaker 2: But the chances are you'd buy our product anyway once
- 2:12Speaker 2: you've tried it.
- 2:13Speaker 3: That's all we ask. Lux Flakes doesn't need a salesman,
- 2:17Speaker 3: It just.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Needs a few minutes to show what it can do.
- 2:20Speaker 2: So right now we can raise the curtain on the
- 2:23Speaker 2: first act of MSUs Miniver Dying. Greer Garson in the
- 2:26Speaker 2: title role was a pigeon as Clem and Susan Peters
- 2:30Speaker 2: as Carol, with Ensign Henry Wilcoxon as the Vicar. In
- 2:45Speaker 2: the summer of nineteen thirty nine, the war stood trembling
- 2:49Speaker 2: on the threshold of another war. Guns bristled on the
- 2:52Speaker 2: borders between nations, and in the capitals of the continent.
- 2:56Speaker 2: The mighty armor of conflict parted in a rumbling show
- 3:00Speaker 2: of power from Berlin. The hysterical screams of a mad
- 3:04Speaker 2: fanatic set the tone and temple at the time. In
- 3:10Speaker 2: that summer of nineteen thirty nine, England listened to the
- 3:14Speaker 2: distant thunder, snudded partially, and went about the simple business
- 3:19Speaker 2: of living.
- 3:21Speaker 4: We all knew there was going to be a war,
- 3:23Speaker 4: of course, a dozen times a day, we tell.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Each other, though we have no doubt of it at all.
- 3:28Speaker 6: Feeling a bit pleased with ourselves if we could face
- 3:31Speaker 6: it so calmly.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Yet underneath there was just a strong a conviction, half
- 3:36Speaker 4: hope and half fear that it could never happen.
- 3:41Speaker 7: And so we went our careless way, bringing up our children, tending.
- 3:45Speaker 6: Our gardens, making shopping trips to.
- 3:47Speaker 4: The city to buy hats that were much too extensive.
- 3:52Speaker 6: I never should have bought that hat.
- 3:54Speaker 5: I knew it.
- 3:54Speaker 6: On the train going back to Bellen. Of course we're
- 3:57Speaker 6: too late.
- 3:58Speaker 8: Then I had it with me at a drox ridiculously
- 4:02Speaker 8: you post.

- 4:34Speaker 8: very extravagant wife.

- 11:15Speaker 6: But you see, I mean a new tire shouldn't cost

- 11:29Speaker 1: Yes, that old bust. It's pretty sad. It's been giving
- 11:33Speaker 1: a lot of trouble lately. I've noticed it, of course
- 11:36Speaker 1: you hadn't.
- 11:36Speaker 2: That's the danger with an old car. You don't notice
- 11:38Speaker 2: anything wrong. And then one day when you're doing about
- 11:41Speaker 2: seventy miles an hour, not.
- 11:42Speaker 1: With our card yet, And that's another thing.
- 11:44Speaker 6: It's too slow.
- 11:45Speaker 1: That car is dangerously slow.
- 11:48Speaker 6: Clim What have you been up to?
- 11:51Speaker 11: Well, come on, get your coat and hat on. I've
- 11:53Speaker 11: got something to story.
- 12:02Speaker 15: The heat problem was simplified after that.
- 12:05Speaker 6: Just the third time, I took it out of the
- 12:07Speaker 6: box and tried it on. Joan was sitting up and
- 12:10Speaker 6: dead talking about the new car.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I'm glad you like the car here.
- 12:16Speaker 11: I was afraid you'd think I'd been a bit too extravagant.
- 12:19Speaker 6: Always had to be extravagant.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Of course, it's fun. Don't forget to turn off the idea.
- 12:25Speaker 6: Wait?
- 12:28Speaker 1: Look, h what on earth that you got on.
- 12:33Speaker 6: A hat? Done? Did you like it? You? I've got
- 12:37Speaker 6: it today? Lovely, not bad. I do think it.
- 12:42Speaker 9: It saves something for me, don't you.
- 12:44Speaker 11: Yeah, it's to make you look rather ridiculous thing.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Well maybe it's it's the it's a nightgown. It doesn't
- 12:53Speaker 1: quite go with it. Huh Oh yes, so it's really
- 12:57Speaker 1: very pretty good.
- 12:58Speaker 16: Then I think it was lost some money?
- 13:01Speaker 2: Oh much?
- 13:03Speaker 6: Not too much for people with their car I got.
- 13:07Speaker 11: It's a pretty clever answer.
- 13:09Speaker 9: I hope you think so, Dolly.
- 13:11Speaker 11: Hey, sit down here a minute. Let me look at you.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You're really quite a beautiful.
- 13:16Speaker 6: Woman, aren't you If you think so?

- 13:22Speaker 1: married you.
- 13:23Speaker 6: Could that be?
- 13:24Speaker 9: I don't see why not.
- 13:26Speaker 6: I I've had no reason to.

- 14:35Speaker 16: Oh I like his dream.
- 14:37Speaker 17: I'm sorry, mother, but well, I thought it took up

- 14:43Speaker 17: trims and all that sort of thing, though, hellow to
- 14:45Speaker 17: draw one copway too much time over the vanities of life.

- 15:06Speaker 1: You don't say no more.
- 15:09Speaker 6: Thanks.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Yes, I think I've grown a little matured in my
- 15:12Speaker 1: conceptionist to what life's about.
- 15:14Speaker 18: Ah.
- 15:15Speaker 1: And apart from all that, I think I've developed a
- 15:18Speaker 1: social consciousness. What's that way? It's the recognition of my
- 15:22Speaker 1: fellow man?
- 15:23Speaker 9: Oh?
- 15:24Speaker 1: Yes, yes, where are the free men of today?
- 15:27Speaker 11: Look about you?
- 15:28Speaker 6: What have we as pure a feudalistic state as there
- 15:31Speaker 6: ever was.
- 15:32Speaker 1: In the next of thirteenth centuries? I tell you, father,
- 15:34Speaker 1: when I think of.
- 15:35Speaker 17: The class system that exists in this country today.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Miss Carroll Deldon, to see where you're hearing the yes,
- 15:42Speaker 4: Carol Delden, I wonder what that means.
- 15:45Speaker 17: She's probably brought the latest does a natim from her
- 15:47Speaker 17: illustrious grandmother that.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I know, Lady Delden, Mother, say you have a perfect
- 15:51Speaker 1: example of what I've been saying.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Lady Belden is the living proof of the survival of
- 15:56Speaker 2: the feudal system today.
- 15:57Speaker 9: How do you do, missus Miniver?
- 15:58Speaker 6: I'm Carol Belden. Do you do?
- 16:00Speaker 3: Mis Bell?
- 16:00Speaker 9: And this is my husband, how do you do?
- 16:02Speaker 1: And my son Vincent's how do you do?
- 16:05Speaker 6: How do you do?
- 16:05Speaker 1: Spelding? You're just in time for tea?
- 16:08Speaker 6: Thanks so much, but I've just had what is it done? Anyway?
- 16:10Speaker 4: You really must excuse me for invading your house like this,
- 16:14Speaker 4: but so frankly, I've come to make a request.
- 16:17Speaker 6: We please is done?
- 16:19Speaker 9: Thank you?
- 16:20Speaker 16: You see, well my grandmother doesn't know I've come.
- 16:23Speaker 6: And well it's about the rose.
- 16:25Speaker 9: The rose, yes, the one mister Bellart drew.
- 16:28Speaker 6: The missus Minniver. You see, I hear he's going to
- 16:30Speaker 6: enter it in the flower show. You mean for the
- 16:33Speaker 6: a building.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Challenge Cook, Yes, but I no one has ever hinted though,
- 16:38Speaker 4: no one has ever entered a rose in competition with
- 16:40Speaker 4: grandmother before.
- 16:42Speaker 6: And that's just the point. It's become a tradition for her.
- 16:45Speaker 16: To win the cup, and her roses means so much
- 16:47Speaker 16: to her.
- 16:48Speaker 6: What I know, it seems an awful thing to ask.
- 16:50Speaker 15: But well I thought you might, perhaps, as a favor.
- 16:54Speaker 16: Persuade mister Bella to withdraw his rose from the competition.
- 16:57Speaker 19: You see, Miss Sheldon, May I ask whether this isn't competition?
- 17:01Speaker 9: Yes, technically technically yes, but.
- 17:02Speaker 6: Actually no, yes, I suppose that's it. You see.
- 17:06Speaker 17: I see only too well, Miss Sheldon, because mister Bellett
- 17:08Speaker 17: is not of the ruling past.
- 17:10Speaker 3: A mayor vassal is.
- 17:11Speaker 13: At work, and let's been explained, Miss Beldon doesn't have
- 17:15Speaker 13: to explain not to me.

- 21:52Speaker 8: That was our life in the summer of nineteen thirty nine,
- 21:56Speaker 8: and then in early September. It was a Sunday, gone
- 22:00Speaker 8: to church. I remember how the stones plounted through the
- 22:03Speaker 8: windows that morning. I remember terribly white eyed cleaning his.
- 22:07Speaker 15: Nake about the stair at the choir, I remember sharing.
- 22:10Speaker 9: A hym book with Films who couldn't neave his mind
- 22:12Speaker 9: on the singing.
- 22:13Speaker 6: For looking across the eye at Kardel, I remember two
- 22:17Speaker 6: mins little things.
- 22:20Speaker 9: Peaks for things, And then suddenly the singing.
- 22:23Speaker 6: Ported and stopped, and the Vickers stood before it in
- 22:26Speaker 6: the putin let's go to its cloth.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Will everyone please be seated.
- 22:35Speaker 19: It has just been announced over the air by the
- 22:37Speaker 19: Prime Minister that our country.
- 22:41Speaker 9: Is at war.
- 22:44Speaker 19: In the circumstances, I don't think you will wish me
- 22:46Speaker 19: to continue with this service, as you will probably most
- 22:50Speaker 19: if you have some other duty to perform.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I will say simply this that the prayer for peace
- 22:58Speaker 1: still lives in.
- 22:59Speaker 20: Our hearts, coupled now with a prayer for our beloved country.
- 23:05Speaker 1: We in this village who have not failed in the past.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Our forefathers for a thousand years, are fought for the
- 23:12Speaker 2: freedom that we now enjoy, and that we must now
- 23:15Speaker 2: defend again.
- 23:18Speaker 19: With God's help, and there example we.
- 23:22Speaker 6: Cannot and shall not fail.
- 23:35Speaker 2: In just a moment, mister de mill P returns with
- 23:38Speaker 2: Greer Garson, Walter Pigeons, Susan Peters and Emson Henry Wilcoxon
- 23:42Speaker 2: were at too of missus Minniver. Sally, I wonder if
- 23:46Speaker 2: you could guess what article of clothing I'm talking about
- 23:49Speaker 2: when I give you these washing directions. Soap them and
- 23:52Speaker 2: let them soak all night. In the morning, wash them
- 23:55Speaker 2: through a strong leather of white soap and warm soft water,
- 23:58Speaker 2: and then boil them ten minutes in another ladder of
- 24:00Speaker 2: the same. Then rinse through two cold waters. When they
- 24:04Speaker 2: are dry, stretch or pin them on the ironing sheet.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Smooth them by hard rubbing with a clean piece of flannel,
- 24:10Speaker 2: or you may rub them with a smooth stone.
- 24:12Speaker 6: Goodness, I never read any directions like that.
- 24:16Speaker 8: Well, it couldn't be anything colored.
- 24:18Speaker 4: Because you must never soak colors, and it couldn't be
- 24:21Speaker 4: silked because you must never boil silk.
- 24:24Speaker 6: And it couldn't be rayon because you treat that like silk.
- 24:28Speaker 3: I give up.
- 24:29Speaker 1: That's Sally.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Is how mister Leslie's Ladies housebook back in eighteen fifty
- 24:33Speaker 2: told women to take care of their silk stocking.
- 24:35Speaker 15: Oh how awful.
- 24:37Speaker 6: Times have certainly changed. Now we just flip guar stockings
- 24:41Speaker 6: through youth form luck studs.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Each night and cut down runs over fifty percent. Flux
- 24:46Speaker 2: stockings don't go into runs nearly so easily as those
- 24:49Speaker 2: rubbed with cake soap or washed with a strong silk.
- 24:51Speaker 6: So let's show stockings every night and be sure to
- 24:55Speaker 6: let Rayon's dry at least twenty four to forty eight
- 24:57Speaker 6: hours before you wear them.
- 24:59Speaker 1: If your dealer is the lux Blake, try again.
- 25:01Speaker 2: He'll have more soon. We pause now for station identification.

- 35:53Speaker 4: And here's a big box of luck flakes that will
- 35:56Speaker 4: do those on these each night for nearly two months.
- 35:59Speaker 6: Now. Missus y, here's your question.
- 36:01Speaker 4: What type of underthings popular in grandmother's day are back
- 36:05Speaker 4: in favor of this winter? I can't think of what
- 36:07Speaker 4: it could be off hand, unless could it be flanneled?
- 36:12Speaker 2: Right?
- 36:12Speaker 6: Long red flannels. They started out of sea.
- 36:15Speaker 4: Under things but are mighty popular now. And homes we're
- 36:18Speaker 4: heating as a problem. And here's a bust of ludstakes

- 36:26Speaker 2: workers so needed for war work.

- 36:31Speaker 1: be able to get what you need, but it's more
- 36:33Speaker 1: important than ever. To take care of what you do
- 36:35Speaker 1: have to make it last longer.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Luxing will help you. Don't waste lux. Use all you
- 36:41Speaker 2: need to get rich SuDS, but no more than you need.
- 36:43Speaker 2: A little lux goes a long way.

- 39:35Speaker 2: such a nice, quiet, peaceful time here when things are

- 40:04Speaker 1: What do you mean? Nothing at all?
- 40:06Speaker 6: Well?
- 40:06Speaker 5: I go to the German pilot in for him and
- 40:08Speaker 5: aggs this morning?
- 40:10Speaker 1: What say? What's going on here?
- 40:13Speaker 6: Don't get excited. I'm just going to draw your bath.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I've had a bath and I'm not excited your No,
- 40:17Speaker 1: I don't want a cigarette? Was it the fellow they
- 40:19Speaker 1: were looking for? Yeah? But what did you do? Didn't

- 40:23Speaker 9: Yeah? He had a gun?
- 40:25Speaker 1: Well, just took away from him and call the police.
- 40:31Speaker 1: You just took it away just like that. Huh? And
- 40:34Speaker 1: then I suppose you gave him tea?
- 40:36Speaker 6: No nuke?
- 40:38Speaker 1: Woman, you're driving me cravely?
- 40:41Speaker 6: Come in? What is it that is?
- 40:43Speaker 8: If the old eighty them say, there's.
- 40:45Speaker 6: Lady building here.
- 40:47Speaker 8: Well, all right, tell her I'll be done in just
- 40:48Speaker 8: a moment.
- 40:49Speaker 9: Yes, baby's building.
- 40:52Speaker 6: She probably comes your check to the marriage.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Oh, dear, you know, darling, if I hadn't known that
- 40:58Speaker 2: you'd taken that German pilot single handed, I'd say you
- 41:01Speaker 2: were scared, would you?
- 41:04Speaker 6: What I am?
- 41:14Speaker 7: I think I should tell you frankly, I hope that
- 41:16Speaker 7: persuade Carol to wait.
- 41:18Speaker 6: You think she may change her mind, Lady Belden, frankly, yes. Besides,
- 41:22Speaker 6: she's too young. Oh didn't that.
- 41:23Speaker 8: Rather a Delden tradition to marry young?
- 41:26Speaker 6: I don't know what you mean.
- 41:27Speaker 4: My daughter Judy, she had to write a composition on
- 41:30Speaker 4: the Crusades last week, and she brought a book home
- 41:33Speaker 4: from the library, or quite a small book called A
- 41:35Speaker 4: Friend of King Richard the Lion Hearted, was full of
- 41:38Speaker 4: stories of the Belden family.
- 41:40Speaker 7: I trust you satisfied yourself that we were worthy of
- 41:43Speaker 7: the alliance.
- 41:44Speaker 6: Well, there were one or two things that rather surprise me.
- 41:48Speaker 8: For instance, did you know that the twelfth Lord Belden
- 41:51Speaker 8: was hanged?
- 41:52Speaker 5: He was beheaded?
- 41:54Speaker 6: Oh? Such things happen in the best families.
- 41:57Speaker 5: In fact, usually in the best family.
- 41:59Speaker 6: As a matter of what interested me most was the
- 42:02Speaker 6: extreme youth of the Belsian bribes. Did she bear the
- 42:05Speaker 6: builder who went on the crusade? Married? And Isabel?
- 42:08Speaker 9: There's something rather aged twelve?
- 42:11Speaker 21: This is milibah.
- 42:12Speaker 6: I did not come here to chatter Pedigreen. But your
- 42:14Speaker 6: point is that they're both too young.
- 42:16Speaker 9: I haven't said so, have I?
- 42:18Speaker 5: I have said so happened?
- 42:20Speaker 6: I But lady Belden, we are at war and thins
- 42:23Speaker 6: a flyer?
- 42:25Speaker 9: How old were you when you married?
- 42:27Speaker 6: I I've known you was telling dems because I looked up. Well,
- 42:30Speaker 6: if you.
- 42:30Speaker 8: Looked me up, I suppose you know I was sixteen sixteen?
- 42:35Speaker 8: And did your parents approve?
- 42:37Speaker 5: That's beside the point?
- 42:38Speaker 6: Or forgive me?
- 42:39Speaker 1: Is it?
- 42:40Speaker 6: You married very young and without your parents' consent? And
- 42:44Speaker 6: he had when Carols? Oh, but perhaps you regretted it.
- 42:48Speaker 5: I did nothing of the kind.
- 42:50Speaker 7: Well, then why my marriage only lasted a few weeks?
- 42:53Speaker 7: My husband was in the army, he was killed in actions.
- 42:57Speaker 6: Oh, I'm so sorry forgive me.
- 42:59Speaker 20: I didn't.
- 43:00Speaker 6: I never regretted it, not for one moment.
- 43:03Speaker 5: We married because we knew that might happen.
- 43:05Speaker 16: But I don't want Carold to suffer as I suffer
- 43:08Speaker 16: don't you want them to be happy, even for a
- 43:11Speaker 16: little while the way you will.
- 43:13Speaker 9: I was afraid you'd say that, not that it lets
- 43:16Speaker 9: what you say or what I say either.
- 43:18Speaker 6: You know that, don't you?
- 43:19Speaker 9: You mean Carol will go her own way.
- 43:21Speaker 6: She's my granddaughter.
- 43:23Speaker 7: Well then, why Goodness knows, I was beaten before I
- 43:27Speaker 7: started for you.
- 43:28Speaker 9: Don't mind terrible, do you? He is a nice pot.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Yes, I see now where he gets it.
- 43:35Speaker 1: You're pretty tool.
- 43:37Speaker 7: No wonder that wretched ballad named his rose after you,
- 43:40Speaker 7: Not that he's got a chance of getting the cup promise.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Well, so long as we're going to be redative, the
- 43:45Speaker 3: least you can do is to offer me some tea.
- 43:53Speaker 6: They were married. A few days later. Lyn had leave
- 43:57Speaker 6: and they went to Scotland for their honeymoon. I was
- 43:59Speaker 6: glad they were away those two weeks. We spend most
- 44:02Speaker 6: of our time in the shouter.

- 50:39Speaker 4: We went to church the next Sunday, where the sun
- 50:43Speaker 4: had slanted in the window of the bar, now shone
- 50:47Speaker 4: full upon it.
- 50:48Speaker 9: For one wall of the church had fallen, and the
- 50:51Speaker 9: roof was open to the sky. Across the eye from
- 50:55Speaker 9: it was Lady Belden, all a dose and then sen
- 51:00Speaker 9: where o there in fact the tiger.
- 51:15Speaker 20: We in this quiet corner of England have suffered the
- 51:18Speaker 20: loss of friends, very beautious, some close to this church,
- 51:24Speaker 20: George West, choir boy, James Ballot, station master and bellringer,
- 51:30Speaker 20: and the proud winner only an hour before his death
- 51:33Speaker 20: at the Belden Cup for his beautiful men of a rose.
- 51:37Speaker 1: And our hearts go out in sympathy to the two families.
- 51:40Speaker 12: Who share the cruel loss of a young girl who.
- 51:43Speaker 1: Was married at this altar only two weeks ago.
- 51:47Speaker 19: The homes of many of us have been destroyed, and
- 51:50Speaker 19: the lives of young and old have been taken.
- 51:54Speaker 3: And why, surely you must have asked yourself this question.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Are these our soldiers? Are these are fighters? Why should
- 52:03Speaker 1: they be sacrificed?
- 52:06Speaker 11: I shall tell you why.
- 52:08Speaker 19: Because this is not only a war of soldiers in uniform.
- 52:13Speaker 9: It is a war of the people, of all the people.
- 52:17Speaker 19: And it must be fought not only on the battlefield,
- 52:21Speaker 19: but in the cities and in the villages, in the
- 52:23Speaker 19: factories and.
- 52:24Speaker 3: On the farms, in the home, and in the heart
- 52:29Speaker 3: of every man.
- 52:31Speaker 19: Woman and child who loves freedom. Well, we have buried
- 52:37Speaker 19: our dead, but we shall not forget them. Instead, they
- 52:44Speaker 19: will inspire us with an unbreakable determination to free ourselves
- 52:48Speaker 19: and those who come after us from the tyranny and terror.
- 52:51Speaker 1: That threatens to strike us down. This is the people
- 52:56Speaker 1: who are It is our war.
- 52:59Speaker 19: We are the fighters it then it with all our
- 53:04Speaker 19: readin us, and may God defend the right.
- 53:12Speaker 12: Crazy what I do, they'll brings our stars back for
- 53:52Speaker 12: their preten balls in just a month. And these war
- 53:55Speaker 12: days there are many new problems something other small, especially
- 53:59Speaker 12: for the women who must make homes and.
- 54:00Speaker 1: All sorts of new places.
- 54:02Speaker 2: Let's look in for a moment on a young white
- 54:04Speaker 2: keeping house in the trailer near her husband's army camps.
- 54:07Speaker 1: It's after dinner.
- 54:08Speaker 3: Here, Onnie, get away from that sink.
- 54:10Speaker 1: I'm going to be the dishwash in this family.
- 54:12Speaker 2: The army won't mind if my hands get red, but
- 54:14Speaker 2: I don't want you to spoil yours with dish washing.
- 54:17Speaker 9: Ever, Oh silly, that's what you know about washing dishes.
- 54:21Speaker 4: Nowadays, girls use luck so their hands don't get rub
- 54:24Speaker 4: and rare.
- 54:24Speaker 5: You just grab that towel.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Yes, today's war brides a smart girl.
- 54:28Speaker 2: They're meeting new people, going new places all the time,
- 54:30Speaker 2: and they're not going to risk ugly dishpan hands. They
- 54:34Speaker 2: use gentle lux flakes for dishes because it's so kind
- 54:37Speaker 2: to their hands. Actual tests prove that just changing from
- 54:40Speaker 2: strong soaps to Lux does away with red rough dishpan hands.
- 54:45Speaker 2: And this same gentle luck scare is thrifty too. Lux
- 54:48Speaker 2: goes further than the same weight of other well known
- 54:50Speaker 2: dish washing soaps, does up to twice as many dishes
- 54:53Speaker 2: as these other soaps.
- 54:55Speaker 1: So get a big box of Lux flakes at your
- 54:57Speaker 1: grossers tomorrow. Use it for dishes. See how long long
- 55:00Speaker 1: it lasts, how smooth it leaves your hands. Now here's
- 55:04Speaker 1: mister Demill.
- 55:04Speaker 2: With our start, there will be no blackout in the
- 55:07Speaker 2: theater as long as we have dramas like Missus Menida
- 55:10Speaker 2: and stars like Gray Garson, Water Pigeons, Susan Peters and
- 55:14Speaker 2: Henry Wilcoxon to play them. Thank you, seebe it seems
- 55:18Speaker 2: very natural coming back to the Lux Radio Theater with Greer.
- 55:21Speaker 2: Now we'll do it again with Madame Curie. When it
- 55:24Speaker 2: comes out you didn't have an ounce or two of
- 55:27Speaker 2: radium leftover, did.
- 55:28Speaker 1: You, Gray?
- 55:29Speaker 16: And let's see that'll be worth about siven hundred thousand dollars.
- 55:32Speaker 6: There's no hope we didn't stiff.
- 55:34Speaker 2: But were does have a keepsake in the picture that
- 55:36Speaker 2: I think she will always prize.
- 55:38Speaker 11: She was presented with a ring.
- 55:40Speaker 4: I hope a certain answin in the United States Navy
- 55:42Speaker 4: approved of that.
- 55:43Speaker 9: I'm sure it'll be all right, Susan.
- 55:45Speaker 6: The ring was given to me not.
