Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934–35) (owned by the National Broadcasting Company, later predecessor of American Broadcasting Company [ABC] in 1943–1945); CBS Radio network (Columbia Broadcasting System) (1935–54), and NBC Radio (1954–55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays[1] during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s.

The primary sponsor of the show was Unilever through its Lux Soap brand.Broadcasting from New York, the series premiered at 2:30 pm, October 14, 1934, on the NBC Blue Network with a production of Seventh Heaven starring Miriam Hopkins and John Boles in a full-hour adaptation of the 1922–24 Broadway production by Austin Strong. The host was the show's fictional producer, Douglass Garrick (portrayed by John Anthony). Doris Dagmar played another fictional character, Peggy Winthrop, who delivered the Lux commercials. Each show featured a scripted session with Garrick talking to the lead actors. Anthony appeared as Garrick from the premiere 1934 episode until June 30, 1935. Garrick was portrayed by Albert Hayes from July 29, 1935, to May 25, 1936, when the show moved to the West Coast.[2]Famed studio executive and film producer and director Cecil B. DeMille took over as the host on June 1, 1936, continuing until January 22, 1945.

That initial episode with DeMille featured stars Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable in The Legionnaire and the Lady. On several occasions, usually when he was out of town, he was temporarily replaced by various celebrities, including Leslie Howard and Edward Arnold.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Lux Presents Hollywood. The Lux RadioTheater brings you Jane Withers and Jackie Cooper
in her first Bowl with Edith FollowLadies and gentlemen, your producer, mister

(00:24):
Cecil B. De Mills, Greetingsfrom Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The
Lux Radio Theater is getting old,not in spirit, but certainly in the
years. That fact stared us inthe face when Jane Withers and Jackie Cooper

(00:45):
arrived at our stage door for arehearsal. I suppose I expected them to
remain at an age when I couldwin them completely by sending out for chocolate
ice cream cones. When the LuxRadio Theater began, Jane Withers was a
little girl in pigtails making her firstpicture. Now she's a young lady with
all the rights and privileges of stardom. When this curtain rose for the first

(01:08):
time, Jackie Cooper was a veryrecent graduate from the Our Gang comedies,
and now well he has his ownrazor and speaks baritone. So much for
the tricks of time. Jane Withersand Jackie Cooper are starring for us tonight
in her first Bowl, a picturethey made together at Columbia, one that

(01:32):
I'm sure will take you back toyour own youth or a pleasant reliving of
the time when you had or werea First Bowl. That's an exciting time
for boys and girls and for fathersand mothers. I speak from personal experience,
but the young ladies of first Bowage in our audience are very important
to us. They seem to beour best friends and severest critics best friends

(01:57):
because no group in our audience ismore loyal to Luck and severest critics because
they always have pronounced opinions on theway we're running this theater. Sometimes they
think we're right, sometimes they don't, and they don't keep us guessing about
what they think about our product either. The girls in Maine may like different
stars and plays and the girls inMontana, but way down East and way

(02:21):
out West, they all agree thatLuck Flakes is, in their own words,
simply super. I understand that isthe highest award the younger generation gives.
Now for a gain lively play AFirst Bowl starring Jane Withers as Penny
and Jackie Cooper as Chuck, withEdith Fellows as Milly Loo. The curtain

(02:43):
risers on Act one Penny Wood andChuck Harris are pals. They live next
door to each other, attend thesame high school, and drink the same
sodas out of separate strow. Oncein a great while, Chuck will even
carry Penny's books for her. Buttheir fellowship is purely platonic. They are

(03:07):
pounds. Chuck is building a glider, not a bottler glider, but a
man sized job, but he hopeswill carry him aloft then, which Penny
hopes will bring him back safely.As he works over it lovingly. Chuck
is all enthusiasm. Penny is frankly. He's skeptical. Look at it,
Penny, look at those lines?Isn't it gorgeous? I don't know.

(03:28):
I guess it's all right. Whatdo you mean it's all right? Well,
I mean it isn't gorgeous like well, like pink satin and poetry and
things. Oh, it is likea bird is Yeah, if it fly,
it'll fly, all right. You'llsee tomorrow when I take it up.
Oh, Chuck, I wish youwouldn't you know? You don't fly
so good? Oh you're swacky.Didn't I get Spike ship to fly?
Ten minutes? Yeah? Two minutesin the air, and eight minutes through

(03:49):
the chicken house, you might havebroken every bone in your body. All
bones don't break that easy, andeven if they did, they knit right
up together again. When you're young, you sound just like my dad.
Oh but he's right. You knowyou could have been heard when that glider
smashed up. And besides that onedidn't have all these new thing Imbodia put
on this one. That's why it'ssmashed. With this new stabilizer, I'll
have almost as much control as theair currents now. Let's see. All

(04:12):
we gotta do now is get thiswaterproof painter. Why is it gonna be
waterproof in case I come down onthe lake? That's why? Oh shuck,
you're not gonna try and cross thelake? Are you well sure?
I am? Now, come on, help me paint will it? I
don't think i'd better. You're gonnabreak your neck and I don't wanna feel
responsible. No, I don't thinki'd better. Oh, Penny, what
do you want to be? Sucha wet blanket? For? Flying?

(04:32):
Isn't hard? Maybe not? Mydad always says the hardest thing about flying
is the ground. Oh anyway,I don't wanna be a flyer. I
just wanna build planes. I gotyour penny. It's like, well,
like you feel about being a greatdancer, I don't like you said,
you don't want I don't wanna bea great dancer anymore. I just made
up my mind about it last week. I'm going to be a great rider,

(04:55):
like well, like Anna Saint VincentMalay, M. Well, I'm
gonna build clipper, you know thosegreat You know what, Chuck, I
bought a whole box of typewriting paper, and I'll say, four dollars in
a quarter toward a typewriter. Andthen I'm just gonna lock myself in my
room and write and write and write. Yeah what about Well, I haven't
made up my mind just yet.Besides, you've got to suffer before you

(05:15):
can write. Huh, I said, I'll have to suffer. Well,
gee, you can't just square offand suffer. It's gotta sort of happen
to you. Life, does itto you? You know? A lady
Novice was talking on the radio theother day and she said that everybody had
a book inside of him, butyou had to suffer to get it out.
She must be swacky. She isnot swacky. And then she said.

(05:38):
You go along doing all sorts ofeveryday things, when all of a
sudden you find yourself in the midstof a great sorrow. I watch out
for that can of paint, shesaid. That's when you're ready to write,
Penny the paint, when your worldcrumbles about your ears and everything you
hold dear to your just splashes atyour feet, say the paint. Look
out now, now look what youdid, A whole can of paint.
Oh, chuck, I'm sorry flashingat your feet. You splashed it,

(06:00):
all right? Oh not chuck.Listen, look look at that mess.
Look at it well, I said, I was sorry, didn't I.
I'll pay for your old paint.I'll bite out of my type. Oh
it isn't the money. It's theprinciple of the thing. You've sent me
back a whole day, all right, Say you're breaking neck a day later.
What's the difference, Henny, penny, dear are you in your room?

(06:26):
Mother? Please? What's the matter? Dear well? Mother? You
might knock before you come into myroom like that? Na quite, dear
well. I might have been writing, were you, dear well? No,
but it might have been well,And it's all right here Penny,
I bought you ad dressed for SaturdayNight. Your last year has been's really
a disgrace Saturday night? What goesSaturday night? Morvin's coming home from college.
I thought you might have a littleparty for him, mother. Do

(06:49):
I have to call him uncle Mervynthis year? It sounds awful, silly?
Oh, I don't know, dear. Well, after all, when
a girl has an uncle, it'sonly five years older than she is.
I think she just ought to callhim Mervyn. Very well, there and
actter all, Mother, I'm nota child, of course, not there
now, slip into your dress.You like it much? Nice, I

(07:10):
guess, but I'd much rather havehad a typewriter. You couldn't come to
a party dressed in a typewriter,there, Mother, You don't seem to
realize that society means nothing to me. Nowadays girls have higher things to think
about, and such as what,dear, such as careaders. Why don't
you think by the time a girlis fifteen, if she's gonna be a
great dancer or a great writer,she ought to begin dancing or writing,

(07:30):
don't you think? If you reallywant to know what I think about a
girl fifteen? Yes, I thinkshe ought to begin to wash her ears.
Oh, mother, you're laughing atme. If I didn't laugh,
i'd cry darling about me. Uhhuh. Oh. I suppose I'm silly,
But every mother looks forward to adaughter who's pretty and sweet and well,

(07:51):
I might as well admit it popularwith the boys. I wouldn't go
across the street for any boy whoever lived, not even Chuck Chuck worry.
I guess there isn't anything in thiswhole world that interests me any less
than Chuck Harris. See, waita minute, I just thought of something.
Oh, Jock, Jock, heymy space, look at your window?

(08:15):
All right? What God? CanI follow your bike tomorrow? I'm
morners. I gotta go somewhere,not tomorrow. I gotta use it myself
tomorrow. Okay, Hey, waita minute, mam, wus enough.
You and your dadd are coming overto dinner. I'll be there in ten
minutes. Okay, it's long facesong. Hey, let's take a look

(08:37):
at your son. Don't you thinkyou need a clean shirt? Oh?
This one's okay, dad, thisis what said. All I had to
do was put on a tie.Nevertheless, you'd better put on a clean
shirt. Remember the first rule fora lawyer is to be well groomed.
It inspires confidence, even if youcan win the case. But I don't
want to be a lawyer, Dad, I want to be a mechanical engineer.
I'll just a moment's son. Butif I could only go to tech

(08:58):
next year, I don't want tohear any more about tech. Now.
Look, Dad, I guess whatI'm gonna be is about the most important
question. We've got a face rightnow. While I was reading an article
that set out of every ten thousandcollege graduates, nine thousand chose the wrong
profession. Yes, and maybe youwill find flying is the wrong profession.
How many times do I have totell you I just want to build planes.

(09:18):
It's the greatest profession of the future. Well, look at the way
they invented trains when you were aboy trains. How old do you think
I am now? And I'll changethat shirt. Oh Dad, please listen.
When I think of being a lawyer, I just about go squaggy.
My boy, you're just hitting oneof those phases we all go through.
I remember when I wanted to gointo the movies. Maybe you'd have been

(09:39):
a lot better actor than you area lawyer. Well, anyway you'd have
had a chance to find out,you wouldn't have to keep wondering and going
to the movies and looking at yourselfin the mirror when you come home.
If I had ever dared talk tomy father like when have you ever seen
me look in a mirror? Lotsof times? Game, that's enough about
that and enough about planes. You'regoing to forget all this non and chuck

(10:00):
and do what you're told. Ohgosh, Dad, your driver full of
swack, and stop saying swacking.Okay, okay, now I'll get into
that shirt. Missus Wood will bewaiting for us. Come on, there'll
be five of us for dinner.Are you sure we have enough, Effie?
Yes, ma'am got enough for five. But I wish you'd tell me

Now, let's listen. In aminute, Young Patty is out to land
a job in the big city.She's staying with Ellen, a friend from
her hometown. Ellen, it's sogood to see you. I could talk
for hours, but if I'm goingto land that job tomorrow morning, I've
just got to get some sleep.I could do with a little shot by
myself. Come on, you getyourself unpacked. Well, I fixed the

(21:33):
couch for you. I didn't bringa thing with me but a toothbrush and
a ninety, so that won't takelong. But oh, say, Ellen,
you have got some lucks blakes,haven't you? Right on the bathroom
show? pH Okay, I'll justnip in and Luxy's undy, so there'll
be fresh in the morning. I'llbe through on a second. Yes,

(21:55):
it takes only a moment to luxunder things Every night. New Quick Flucks
gives you some so fast three timesas fast in water, as cool as
your hand as any of ten otherpopular soaps by actual test. Not just
twice as fast, mind you,three times as fast. It's so gentle
too. Keep slips and pretty underthings fresh and new looking longer. That's

(22:18):
important nowadays when it costs more toreplace your lovely under things. But most
important of all, nightly luxing protectsdaintiness, makes you sure of freshness,
Ellen says, under things have souredperspiration. You know, unless they're Lucks.
After every wearing, you're apt tooffend. And the worst part of
it is you don't know yourself whenyou do. Nobody likes to tell you.

(22:40):
So the only way to be sureis never, never take chances.
Get a thrifty big box of LucksFlakes from your grocer tomorrow. Lucks under
things every night, dresses, blousesand sweaters. Often new quick Lucks comes
in the same familiar package. Costsyou no more now, mister de Mill

(38:37):
Oh Dad, Yes, dear,can I ask you a question? Sure?

Curse sight? Well no, notexactly. The first time I saw your
mother she had pink spots all overher spots? Yeah, they turned out
to be measles. Well, whatdid you do caught them from her?
Oh? Not Dad, This isreally important to me. When did you

(39:00):
first find out that you were inlove with mother? Well, that's rather
a difficult question to answer. Iuh, I know. I believe it
was the days that she slapped mein the face. She slapped you in
the face. Well, I turnedthe hose on her brother and it it
hit her new hat. She slappedme, I kissed her, and well
there you were. But why shouldmother slapping you make you kiss her?

(39:22):
My dear, I've been wondering thatfor twenty years. Bring in those packages.
Uh. In a minute, sheslapped him, she slapped him,
and he kissed her. I don'tget it, but maybe it works.

(39:43):
We paused now for station identification.That's the Columbia UH Broadcasting Assistance. After

(40:08):
a brief intermission, mister Demil willbring us back three of her First Bowl,
starring Jane Withers and Jackie Cooper.Now Sally has a story for you.
Once upon a time there was apretty little bride. She had a
brand new two room apartment and abrand new husband, and min did he

(40:30):
like to eat? Why every nightwhen he came home, he'd say,
are you sugar? What's cooking?And oh my, you should have seen
the stack of dishes that little bridehad to do every night. Well,
it wasn't long before her pretty handsgot red and yet and heart. Oh
she was so ashamed of him.She tried to hide them, but of

(40:52):
course she couldn't. So one dayshe overheard a very catty remark. Yeah,
something about girls who left themselves goafter they're marriage and don't even bother
to keep their hands looking nice,And how hard it is for a man
to get ahead if he has awife. Wife, and me, well,
she was in a state. Shethought and thought, and then she

(41:15):
had an idea. She'd use Lucksflakes for her dishes. She knew how
gentle new quick Lucks was for shealways used it for her stockings and undecent
things. So she stopped putting thatharsh old washed ay soap in her dishpan.
And now she does just as manydishes, but she whisks them into

(41:35):
those gentle luck studs, and theycome out sparkling, bright and clean in
no time. Mamma and her husband'sjust as proud as she is of her
lovely hands, soft and white andsmooth as they ever were. Yes,
even though you've let your hands getrough and red and ugly from harsh soaps

(41:57):
in the dishpan, you don't haveto let them stay that way. Change
to gentle lux flakes for your dishes, and see how quickly your hands lose
that ugly dishpan look, grow softer, smoother, and lovelier again. You
quick lucks is gentle fast, anda little goes so far it's drifty too.
Now, our producer, mister demill Curtain rises on the third act

(42:21):
of her first bow for a fifteenyear old girl suffering the pangs of love.
The world is a sad, darkplace. The Penny is doing her
best to brightens glad in her newvery red dress. She gazes at herself
in the mirror. Penny sees awoman tall and dark, a woman with

(42:45):
gleaming white shoulders and mysterious haunting eyes, a woman of the world. But
Penny's mother sees the fifteen year oldgirl in a violent red dress which shows
up all her freckles. Enellope,Yes, mother, when did you get
that rest? Why this afternoon?Chuck on me? The fifteen dollars?

(43:05):
Never mind, I don't care,but I want you to take it off
this minute. But mother, Ican't. Why haven't anything else to wear?
You can wear your other one?Oh? Not that awful? Right?
Why it's got sleeves and it makesme look like a child. Kenny,
do you hear me? Take thatthing off? Hey, Jenny,
didn't you better come right down?Riders with Julie and they're sitting out on
the porch holding way. Oh didyou see mother? I've got to get

(43:28):

upset, I'm desperate. How wouldyou feel if you saw another woman trying
to take father away from you?Henny? Well, I would that like?
Like, wait, Penny, no, I'm coming up. Wait Henny.
Oh, mother, I've got toget down there. Julie's taking him
away from me. She couldn't doit if he didn't let her. Oh,
yes, she could because she's olderand she knows how. I've got

(43:50):
to be a woman of the worldtoo. Is that your ambition, Penny?
I thought you wanted to be awriter. Oh I'm ever gonna be
a writer if I don't have anythingto write about. And I'm ever gonna
learn about life if you won't letme live. Oh but Penny, you
are living every day every Oh that'snot living school in tennis and playing with
Chuck. That's just existing. Livingis being in love and feeling and wanting

(44:14):
things and fighting for them. Listen, you're my mother, and you can
make me take this dress off,and you can make me put on that
child's dress with sleeves. But Iwarn you if you do, I'll never
forgive you, never as long asI live. No, I don't believe
you ever would. Oh, mother, can't you see I'm not a baby

(44:34):
anymore. I'm growing up. Nowyou're gonna be mean and cruel and make
me change my dress? Oh yougonna let me go downstairs. I'm going
to be mean and cruel and letyou go down stairs, Oh mother.
And she's got a red best Chuckand even any sugar stacks? Are you

(44:57):

me. It's not that serious.And Roger was there, and she laughed
too, And oh, mother,I'm gonna like myself in and stay there.
The party is over. You're goingto do nothing of the sort.

(45:43):
You're going to wash your face andput on another dress and go back downstairs.
But mother, I can't. Ohyou didn't hear I did hear them?
They are very silly, and sowere you, Penny. A little
while ago you talked about learning tobe a woman of the world. Well,
that's what a woman of the worldwould do. You mean, she'd
wash her face and put on anotherdress and hold her head up and sail

(46:07):
right back. Pretend nothing mattered lessthan their last year, even with Roger
there, especially with Roger there.All right, all right, I'll do
it. Dad. What do youwant to go and spoil a party?

(46:36):
For this has nothing to do withthe party. Chuck, I just wanted
to tell you that I've located yourglider and tomorrow morning you and I are
going to have a little breaking upparty all our own. But you can't,
Dad, I've worked for months onthat glider. It's got all my
new ideas. I'm sorry, Chuck, that's my last word, but Dad.
All right there, Milly Low,Milly Low, Hey, Milly Low,
what do you want? Listen,come here, I gotta leave for

(46:57):
a while. Can you come alongand help me? I'd ask Henny,
only she's kind of busy. Whatdo you want me to do? I
want you to help me get aglider down to the lake. A glider.
Just help me get in the car, that's all. Will you?
Well, what are you gonna dowith the glider at night? What do
you do with a glider? Anytimeyou fly it? Come on? You

(47:21):

porch with Julie all times. Iwant to talk to him about something.
Look, here's something I forgot toshow you, Julie. It's a pole.

(47:42):
The pulsing passion in the heart ofme sears like a flame with the
sound of Wait, did you hearthis part the song on your lips,
the light in your eyes. HelloKenny, Hello Penny. We were just
talking. He was showing me yourpoem. Yes, I know, all

(48:05):
that little piece of trash I wrote. My goodness, I hope you didn't
take it seriously. Why I justtossed it off for a joke, you
know, suppose i'd hand my realpoetry around it? Just just anyone,
do you listen? Please don't apologize. Why. I've never seen anyone looks
so silly in my whole life asyou too, sitting there thinking that I
meant it, just like those midwoodsin side who thought I meant that dress

(48:29):

but well you make me feel veryashamed. Oh please please go away
anyway. What that child's talking about, Billy Lou, come here any lists.
What's the matter, Millie? Whatare you saying about it? Glider?
I told you he's up in there. Who is shuck? He's like,

(48:51):
oh they can can't get down?Shut flying? Are you sure sure?
I'm sure? I said Tom.When you call the police station,
we better get the fire department too. We'll leave floodline. Listen, everybody,
have your cars down to the lakeand turn on your head like Chuck's
up in a glider calling all cars, calling all cars. Keep your eye

(49:15):
out for a glider flying somewhere overthe lake. Report at once if you
cight it. It's that dopey Harrisboy again. That is all. It's
no use talking, mother, It'shome my fault. If Chuck had a
speedboat out there, he'd be allright. But but I took that money
for the dress. And if hedrowns, I killed him, and all

(49:37):
because of a silly dress. Oh, mother, don't cry here. I'm
not crying. I can't cry.Isn't that funny? Mother? When Roger
laughed at me, I cried andcried. Oh I wanted to die.
But now I can't cry because ithurts so up here in my throat.
Heady dear that. Otherwise, justor just play her. I wanted to

(50:00):
suffer, But now, oh mother, if anything happens to Chuck, I
can't bear it. I simply can'tbear it. Is there any sign of

(50:21):
them yet? No, They've gotboats all over the lake. Turn those
lights on, shoot them up thisway. Oh Chuck, Chuck, who

Chuck? Is a bad It's justscratched tea. He landed in the
tree. Bet I call a drugstore for some more bandage. Dad.
Wasn't there any of my glider left? I'm afraid not. They said it
was smashed to bits. Oh Dad, I'm sorry if I worried. You

(51:36):
know, I didn't mean for youto know until I got down. That's
all right, Chuck. I guessit was my fault. Maybe if you'd
been flying in the daytime, itwouldn't have happened. No, you were
right. I don't know enough aboutgliders or flying or anything. Well,
you can always learn. I understand. They gave a pretty good course at
tech tech. Oh gee, Dad, Harris, you wanted on the phone

(52:00):

(53:07):
oh? Oh? Ge hey daddead? It were our stars Jane Withers

(53:32):
and Jackie Cooper will be back ina moment for their curtain calls. There's
a phrase that you hear more andmore often nowadays. Living within one's budget,
Well, If you should take theold the literal meaning of that phrase,
you'd find living within your budget avery uncomfortable business, because literally it
means living inside a little bag orwallet. Yes, that's what the word

(53:58):
budget originally meant, a small bagor wallet. But millions of women have
found that they can live within theirbudgets in to Day's meaning of the phrase
and do it comfortably and easily withthe help of lux Flakes. For instance,
when they buy a dress, theymake sure it's luxible. It costs
only about a penny, you know, to fresh and address with New Quick

(54:20):
Lucks, and with Gentle Lucks care, you can count on getting more were
from each dress you buy. Thathelps the budget too. New Quick Lucks
has none of the harmful alkali youfind in many popular wash day soaps,
so your pretty washabiles stay fresh andunfaded, new looking longer. Yes,
lux Flakes are gentle, quick thriftycare that experts advise too. Actually,

(54:45):
more makers of fine washables advise NewQuick Lucks than advise all other soaps put
together. Now, the next timeyou shop for a dress or a blouse,
insist on luxible fabrics. You'll havea wide choice, not only in
silk and cotton and wool, butin the lovely new rayons and nylons too.
Then stick to care that experts adviseAmerica's favorite care for fine things,

(55:10):
thrifty new quick luck flakes. You'llfind it an easy, pleasant way to
be well dressed within your budget.Now here's mister de Mill with our stars.
We're glad that her first bow hada happy ending, because we'd hate
to say either Jane Withers or JackieCooper unhappey. And there're all smiles now

(55:31):
for their cutten call Paul. Thankyou, mister demil. And it was
swelled being here, It sure was. And I hope we can keep on
your guests. Lest sir hm,you certainly can. We need you both
to keep us up to the minuteon the changes in the English language.
Yes, sir, and say,I noticed that you didn't use many of
those new words like swacky and happy. No, no, unless twenty three

(55:52):
skidoo would qualify. Twenty three scould do what it's wonderful, Yeah,
might sweep the country. What doesit mean, sir? Why it means?
