  Speaker 30: return for Act two of Meet Me in Saint Louis.
• 21:19
  Speaker 30: In a moment, say Libby, one of the boys in
• 21:22
  Speaker 30: our audience wants to know whether his girl will like
• 21:24
  Speaker 30: him better if he becomes a dancer like Fred Estair
• 21:27
  Speaker 30: or a famous crooner like Ben Crosby.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Why not selling to say paramous new picture Blue Sky
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: they're booth in there, and they both love the same.
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: Girl, Joan Caulfield. Frankly, if I've been Joan in that picture,
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: I never could have made up my mind.
• 21:40
  Speaker 30: Those wonderful sentimental tunes being things should sweep any girl
• 21:43
  Speaker 30: off of.
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: Feet, just like an Ustair dance.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Isn't this Pred's farewell to pictures?
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Well, that's what he insists, and that's why moviegoers all
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: over this country are signing positions asking him to remain
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: in pictures.
• 21:54
  Speaker 13: He's never been better or his dances more original.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Being Astaire's partner is a real honor.
• 22:00
  Speaker 21: They have two and Blue Sky's Joan Callfield and a
• 22:02
  Speaker 21: little laughing for Manhauking old at San Longs old as
• 22:06
  Speaker 21: the Brunetplin Jones as fair as an angel, and both
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: are divine and technicolor.
• 22:10
  Speaker 30: But I know another thing they had in common. What's
• 22:12
  Speaker 30: that Luck's care for their stocking.
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: You are absolutely right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: Anybody who dances knows how much strain stockings get, so
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: naturally the girls counted on Luck's places to cut down runs.
• 22:22
  Speaker 30: Not only girls who dance Libby, but girls everywhere know
• 22:26
  Speaker 30: how much longer luck stockings last, and so.
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: Do Paramount Studios. Stockings for the chorus got the same
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: lux care as those are the stalls. But of course
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: Joon knew about lucks long before she went to Hollywood.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Wasn't she a model in New York? That's right, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: models soon learned tricks of the trade, like getting more
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: wear from stockings by losing them every night.
• 22:45
  Speaker 30: Well, actual strain tests proved how right they are. In
• 22:48
  Speaker 30: these tests, stockings rubbed with cake soap went into runs
• 22:52
  Speaker 30: very quickly.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: The luxe ones lasted and lasted price as long and packages.
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: Girls on a budget appreciate that. And there's another of
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: about nothing. A little goes a long way, right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 30: Libby Now a suggestions of the ladies in our audience,
• 23:06
  Speaker 30: because lux is made of scarce materials, please don't waste it.

  Speaker 4: in a moment.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Our guest tonight, Blonde, blue eyed Lola Dean came to
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Hollywood from Akron, Ohio, by way of Chicago. When NGN
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: saw the screen tests he made there, they lost no
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: time getting out of the coast.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: I understand your studying hard, Lola.
• 39:30
  Speaker 16: I am mister heeling, but I'm having fun too, such
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: as all watching pictures being made and seeing as many
• 39:37
  Speaker 16: previous as the studio as possible.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: That's where I saw the yearning well Metro Golden Mayor's
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: new technical.
• 39:42
  Speaker 16: A picture what people are talking about for the Academy Awards.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: It's a superb example of fine acting and photography.
• 39:49
  Speaker 16: And how I ended Jane Wyman and her.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Role after Gregory Oh, Gregory Peck then eh, who isn't?
• 39:55
  Speaker 16: And claud Jerman Junior is so appearing as Jody with
• 39:58
  Speaker 16: his pet Pahn.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Where often the details that counted making a successful picture, Lola?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: For instance, the company spent months in flodders to make
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: each sequence in the Yearling True Delight.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Tell me, Lola, do you have any special rules for success?
• 40:12
  Speaker 16: Yes, mister Kelly, to profit by experience, and that's what
• 40:15
  Speaker 16: I'm doing right now.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: How is that, Lola?
• 40:17
  Speaker 16: Well, when I was working as a radio receptionist back East,
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: I found that good grooming was important. Then naturally I
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: used luck spikes. You see, I was on a budget,
• 40:27
  Speaker 16: and I said the lot by wearing glasses and sweaters,
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: I could box myself.
• 40:31
  Speaker 30: They always looked wonder Hollywood studios feel much the same
• 40:34
  Speaker 30: way about lux Loa. They discovered by actual experience how
• 40:37
  Speaker 30: safe it is for colors, so they make it a
• 40:40
  Speaker 30: rule to use luck flakes for everything washable.
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: Well, I wish I could find more luck in the
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: Hollywood stores.
• 40:45
  Speaker 30: It'sn't always easy to get it in any city these days, Lola,
• 40:49
  Speaker 30: because the materials they need to make lucks are scarce,
• 40:52
  Speaker 30: But it's wise to keep on trying. Smart girls like
• 40:55
  Speaker 30: yourself don't risk spoiling nice things with a strong soap,
• 40:58
  Speaker 30: because they know washingtons the wrong way can fade colors easily.
• 41:03
  Speaker 30: Tests on all sorts of fabrics proved that there's no
• 41:06
  Speaker 30: doubt about it. Luck things do stay smart longer. Thank
• 41:10
  Speaker 30: you for coming tonight, Lola. We'll return you now to
• 41:13
  Speaker 30: William Keeley after.
• 41:15

  Speaker 30: tell you about Missus Brown. The Browns had some friends
• 57:03
  Speaker 30: in for dinner recently, and after they finished, Missus Green said,
• 57:07
  Speaker 30: let's do the dishes.
• 57:08
  Speaker 13: Now, Mary, I'll give you a hand. I was things.
• 57:10
  Speaker 13: It really won't take long, optimists, But I always say,
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: you can talk just as well in the kitchen as anywhere.
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: Want me to walk, Oh no, that's the easiest part.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: Who you think you're a kidding?
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: Look at these dishpan hands of mine. Oh I have luck.
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: You have where'd you get it? It's the corner. Some
• 57:25
  Speaker 13: came in while I was there the other day. Lucky,
• 57:27
  Speaker 13: I haven't been able to get any lately. Well, I
• 57:29
  Speaker 13: guess you just struck it wrong.
• 57:31
  Speaker 34: We're also sick of those strong thoats and let's goose
• 57:34
  Speaker 34: like hopkits, just strong felts bother your hand to do
• 57:37
  Speaker 34: they my mind looks worse than yours.
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: As soon as I've switched the Luck, they started getting better.
• 57:42
  Speaker 30: Note that Missus Green tests pool changing de Lux Flakes
• 57:46
  Speaker 30: does just what Missus Brown says. It takes away that
• 57:49
  Speaker 30: ugly dishpan redness. You'll begin to notice improvement in just
• 57:53
  Speaker 30: a few days.
• 57:54
  Speaker 34: Another thing, you have to use so much of that
• 57:56
  Speaker 34: strong soap to get sut I know that you saw

  Speaker 34: how little Luck flakes I put in the dishpan, And
• 58:02
  Speaker 34: look what rich does they make?
• 58:04
  Speaker 30: Those richer SuDS will actually go further. Missus Green, do
• 58:07
  Speaker 30: you know that counts frounce? Lux does up to twice
• 58:10
  Speaker 30: as many dishes as other leading soaps tested. If I
• 58:13
  Speaker 30: get my hands on a box of Lux Flakes, I'll
• 58:15
  Speaker 30: go easy with it. I want to waste a spoonful. Yes,
• 58:19
