• 0:52
  Speaker 2: scene and unseen. Greetings from Lux. It is fitting that
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: this program should come to you from this city of stars,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: because nowhere in the world are lux flakes better known
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: or more extensively used than in the leading motion picture
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: studios here in Hollywood, or washing woolens, prints, silks, in fact,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for all fabrics that are washable. The studios know how
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: newness is prolonged, how colors are protected by washing with
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: those light, sheer but marvelously effective Lux flakes, the flakes
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: that have made cake soak rubbing a thing of the past.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And now may I again present as our producer, the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: man who has given us dozens of our best known
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: performers and sixty two of our great motion pictures. He
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: comes direct to the Lux Radio Theater from one of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the big stages at Paramount, where he is now filming
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the Plainsman, Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Cecil B de Milk,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. To Night's play had
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: its beginning more than a hundred years before Shakespeare was born.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: In those days, a tragic harlequin roamed the streets of Paris,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: drinking in its cellars and sleeping in its garrets. He
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: had the conscience of a pickpocket and the soul of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a poet. His name was Francois Villon. Almost five centuries later,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Justin Huntley MacCarthy wrote Vion's story in a play called
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: If I Were King. E h Southern starred in it,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and in that first company I had the honor to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: be one of Francfoisvillan's vagabonds, the worst cutthroat in the play,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Collander caieur. It was excellent training for my later career.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: My act was tell Me With us in the cast
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: were two lovely ladies, Constance Adams and Margaret Dillington. Yesterday,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Miss Adams and I celebrated our thirty fourth wedding anniversary,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and Margaret di Lincon, then the wife of Daniel Frohman,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: later married Major Bowes. A few years ago, the play
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: reappeared on Broadway with Rudolph Primmel's music and a new title,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: The Vagabond King. And starring in it tonight is John Bowles,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: who starred in the first production of the Lux Radio
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Theatre almost two years ago. Fate tried to keep John
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: off the stage at the University of Texas. He was
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a star pitcher, not a picture star. He once struck
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: out twenty six batters and a double header, which brought
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: him three offers from the major leagues. He preferred to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: study medicine, but when the war broke out, John enlisted.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He spent twenty two months overseas and was wounded twice.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Returning to the United States, he taught French in Glens Falls,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: New York, but the next season found him on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: New York stage as the star of The Vagabond King.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He is the only player who has starred in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Lux Radio Theatre four times. Featured with him is laughing Eyes,
• 3:55

  Speaker 2: better known as Evelyn Venable. Miss Venable won a place
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in Walter Hampton's Repertoire company with the performance of Juliet.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: The balcony for that performance was the haloft in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: barn at Walter Hampton's Connecticut farm. Her audience was mister
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Hampton and her father. After several seasons with the Hampton Players,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: she was signed by Paramount and has been on the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: screen ever since. In tonight's play, she appears as a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: lady in the court of King Louis the eleventh and

  Speaker 4: to die.
• 25:31
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Is this he also hired by patriotism? Why no?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: He did this because a woman asked it. He thought
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: he loved her.
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: He a you say, he wrote her verses, Oh a
• 25:46
  Speaker 13: rabbit poet, I see.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But uh, why do you plead for his life?

  Speaker 2: Your wish is granted? Bon is free, free, as free

  Speaker 2: er as I am.

  Speaker 2: would ask a favor, and not as a bargain. But
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: if you choose to grant it freely as a gift, yes,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I quite realized why this fellow.
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: Risked his life for you?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: How from his kennel he looked up at you and thrilled,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: even as a muddy pool might thrill at the moon
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in heaven.
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: Monsieur, you're startled.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I seem to remember you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Remember, Yes, I seem to have known you always, Really, sir,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I think your poeter, what is his name, fransfors Villon,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: must have felt as I do.
• 26:54
  Speaker 16: Now?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: How do you know that? How do I know? How
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: do I know? What live? I'm somewhat of a poortoo

  Speaker 2: What can I do to win you.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: There is no time to talk of love. I had

  Speaker 4: a hope that a man had come to court, a

• 32:18
  Speaker 2: taktany for the.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: King of France, God.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: The King of arm Because for station identification, this is
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the Columbia Broadcasting system. You are invited to attend the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: ball in the Palace, which the Luxe Radio Theater will
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: present shortly as the third episode of The Vagabond King,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: starring John Bowles with Evelyn Ventible. But before starting out
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: for this brilliant court function, let's take a dancing lesson
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: on the stage of our theater to night is Geneva Sawyer,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: a dance director twentieth Century Fox. A few months ago,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Miss Sawyer was only a member of the chorus, but
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: opportunity tapped at her door. Opportunity in this case was
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Bill Robinson, the great Negro tap dancer, who chose her
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: for his assistant in teaching new steps to his most
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: famous pupil, Shirley Temple, Ladies and gentlemen. Miss Geneva Sawyer.
• 33:44
  Speaker 20: A dance director's hardest job is not teaching new steps,
• 33:47
  Speaker 20: but discovering them. And I think we've succeeded in discovering
• 33:50
  Speaker 20: an entirely new dance for the big new musical show
• 33:53
  Speaker 20: at twentieth Century Fox.
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: Take skin Parade. We've named it the Balboa and.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Balboa discovered a new ocean. You've discovered a new motion.
• 34:02
  Speaker 20: That describes it. And I believe you'll see a dance
• 34:05
  Speaker 20: everywhere this fall. It will be performed for the first
• 34:08
  Speaker 20: time in the picture, and by such stars as Jack Haley,
• 34:11
  Speaker 20: Betty Grable, Patsy Kelly, Dixie Dunbar, and that great singing Cortet.
• 34:16
  Speaker 20: The Yacht club Boys.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: The Yacht club Boys, they must have found that ic
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: sea legs.
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: Their dancing is still subject to dart. Mister Demil.
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: They may be called the yacht club boys, but their
• 34:28
  Speaker 20: feet are more like tugboats.
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: But in a couple of weeks they'll bowbol with the
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: best of them.
• 34:34
  Speaker 20: When dancing is regarded as a pleasure in relaxation, it's
• 34:37
  Speaker 20: really very easy to master. The only part of our
• 34:40
  Speaker 20: dancing that's hard work is caring for the costumes. We
• 34:44
  Speaker 20: often change costumes five or six times a day, yet
• 34:47
  Speaker 20: they must always be fresh and new looking for the camera.
• 34:50
  Speaker 20: This means constant freshening. But at twentieth Century Fox, we've
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: learned to depend entirely on lux blakes for everything. Washable
• 34:58
  Speaker 20: LUTs not only protects the color, it prolongs newness and
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: makes our costumes look lovelier. To those young men and
• 35:04
  Speaker 20: women who hope to get dancing jobs in movies, my
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: advice is first to get as good an education as
• 35:10
  Speaker 20: you can. Secondly, don't let any physical impediment keep you
• 35:14
  Speaker 20: from dancing. Just remember that the man who established ballet
• 35:18
  Speaker 20: dancing the best dance Somoli, lost both feet as a boy.
• 35:22
  Speaker 20: Jack Donihue, a former riveter, broke both kneecaps, but became
• 35:26
  Speaker 20: dance director at Fox, and Bobby Aren't one of the
• 35:29
  Speaker 20: cleverest dancers on the stage today, learned to dance after
• 35:32
  Speaker 20: an attack of infantile paralysis.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: If you want to dance, you will.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Good night, Good night, Papa. And now we continue with
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: The Vagabond King, starring John Bows as Francoisvillan and Evelyn
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Venable as Lady Catherine Francoisvillone's One day of Glorie to
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: an end. Night has fallen, the ball is in progress,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: and the palace and surrounding gardens are bright with festivity.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: In a dark corner of the garden they are standing
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: half hidden, when out of the shadows Tabay, his friend
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: from the fur Corne tavern, suddenly appears. Ransois Tabury, what
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: news or are men ready for the attack on Burgundy?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: The archers and the army, And no, not those mercenaries,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I mean our man, our people, Taburi, who strike at
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Burgundy with hatred of craters in their hearts, with love
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: of Paris in their soul. Every bodle swarms at ten tonight.
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: They'll wait their orders from the new Grand Marshal who
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: lifted the tax of their wine, opened the prison doors
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: and gave them food. Oh it's a new Paris, Fransois alive,
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: fighting Paris, and all for how.
• 36:50

  Speaker 4: Day, Lord Grand Marshall.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Where you leave the ballet, Lady Catherine.
• 37:15
  Speaker 14: To see what great new wonders you have worked in
• 37:17
  Speaker 14: the hour you've been gone, For you truly believe I've
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: worked wonders I do.
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: You've made the king popular, the Parisians loyal, the army faithful,
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: And I think.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: No, I've guessed the reason for this space, that Burgerty
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: might take me a guinea fool, the King's court an orgy,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and tonight the hour to catch us unprepared.
• 37:34
  Speaker 13: But our swords are tempered in the wine. At ten
• 37:37
  Speaker 13: we strike.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Why would I were a man that I might go
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: with you?
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: You would go with me?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Why do you say that I'll tell you tomorrow? Tonight
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: you ask a maiden to be too unmaidenly.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: But this night is all we have. Oh Catherine, I
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: love you dearly outlandishly with a love so hopeless that
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: it's done for me. For I can find no reason
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: why you should love?
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Do you hear not one word?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: True?
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Loving is without rhyme or reason? Now, then would you sing?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Would I sing?
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: When we met this morning? You sang?
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: It was oddly stirring Paris lust for blood. I'd die
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: of love and you'd have me sing for help. But
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: it so happens that last night, as I tossed upon
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: some straw, I thought of a ruse I once begged
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: of a lady, and I made a song about it.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: But I'm not sing at all unless you come closer,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: oh so much closer. Only holy ang.
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Dying away, a smile too deep in memory one until
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: with me on Holy all is small? Lossing us a roll?
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: Why bring along a smile or a song of.
• 39:29

  Speaker 2: Oh Leon, No, No, probably you won't, and that would
• 47:46

• 48:07
  Speaker 2: or the gallow.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: My hand in marriage? That could never have been my
• 48:15

  Speaker 2: for that classic of the bus lines It Happened One Night.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: His many hits include The Whole Town's Talking Broadway Bill
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: and the current box office wind for Mister Deeds Goes
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: to Town. A former playwright and producer, he has written
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: every picture directed by Frank Capra during the last five years,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: and in a few weeks you'll see his adaptation of
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: James Hilton's best selling novel Lost Horizon, starring Ronald Coleman.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Robert Riskin thank you.
• 52:48
  Speaker 13: I'm a little nervous.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: What do I do now? Just talk into that microphone.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: It won't talk back at me, will it.
• 52:53
  Speaker 20: No?
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: No, that's the beauty of microphones. You can whisper in
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: its ear or bark your head off. It holds its tongue.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Haven't you ever spoken on the radio before? Yes, just once,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: about ten years ago. I spoke in the interest of
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: a play of mine. Nobody ever came to see it
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: after that. If the luck sales fall off next week,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: you'll know the reason why lux sales never fall off.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I'll have you know. Yes, I know. It's the finest
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: product in the market. What do I say now? Talk
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: about yourself? Why that's the reason you're here? I thought
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I was selling lucks here you are. But you've been
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: a very successful writer in Hollywood, and we'd like to
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: know the secret. Say, look, I know a good knock knock, Oh,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: come not, you knock knock? All right? Who's there? Demil Demil?
• 53:32
  Speaker 16: Who?
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: The mills of the gods grind slow, but they do
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: grind the cleeding small. I know another one? Never mind,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: never mind. We're trying to find out the secret of
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: your success. I saw mister Deeds goes to town. It's
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: a grand picture. How did you ever think of the
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: word pixelated? I thought of the people who pay my
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: salary every week. Knock knock? Who's there? I see you're
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: catching the spirit of the thing, and I'm very quick. Well,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: who's there?
• 53:58
  Speaker 13: Lucks?
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Lucks? Who looks like this view ought to come to
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: an there, don't you think?
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: Not until you.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Answer the question, what's the formula for success in Hollywood
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: for a writer?
• 54:08
  Speaker 16: Oh?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: That's a cinch. Now you're going to be serious? Antcha? Oh? Yes,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: all right? How can I write? A succeeded by finding
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: himself a magnificent director like Frank Kaepra, not great or
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: one like you. Thanks for including me. I'm no idiot.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Indeed you're not. You've worked with Frank Capra a long time,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: nearly five years. Any trouble, trouble, it's the longest vacation
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: I ever had in my life with pay I venture
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: to say working on the Lost Horizon was no vacation.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry you mentioned that. You're forcing me to be serious.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: It's the one job I'm really excited about. Did you
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: read the James Hippin book? Yes? Beautiful? Wasn't it truly great?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Did you write this story for Grace Moore's next picture?
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: You can ask more questions and you give so little information.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: Did you write it or didn't you? Yes? I did.
• 54:49
