Lux presents Hollywood.

Leave your brother's company, the makers of Lux's toilet soap,

bring you the Lux Radio Theatre,

starring James Stewart, Donnery, and Victor Moore in It's A Wonderful Life.

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

Greetings 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 Donnery.

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

Also in our cast is star 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, 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 Luxopra 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.
