Lux presents Hollywood.

Leaver Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theater,

starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, and Victor Moore in It's a Wonderful Life.

Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely.

Reading from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, tonight we bring you one of the season's most inspiring hits,

a Liberty Films production that's been nominated for the highest screen award.

Yes, it's a wonderful life.

And we present it now with its original fine stars,

Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

Jimmy, in the role which won him a nomination for the best performance of the year.

Also in our cast is starred that fine comedian, Victor Moore.

It's a Wonderful Life is the drama of a typical American.

Might be you, it might be me.

He dreams of glory.

He lives in hope. he loves and doubts,

and only Providence puts a final value on his service to humanity. Our story starts before the war, when life was normal. Shortages were generally unknown and simple luxuries, like luxeop

were abundant.

I won't say that's the only reason people said,

It's a Wonderful Life,

but I do know from the thousands of letters in our files

that most of them said, it's a wonderful soap.

And they keep right on saying it day after day.
