Lux Radio
Theater:
Lux Radio Theatre,
sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a long-run 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
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
p.m., 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.
Famed studio executive and film producer / director
Cecil B. DeMille, (1881-1959), 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.
Lux Radio Theatre strove to feature as many of the
original stars of the original stage and film
productions as possible, usually paying them $5,000 an
appearance. In 1936, when sponsor manufacturer Lever
Brothers (who made Lux brand soap and detergent) moved
the show from New York City to Hollywood, the program
began to emphasize adaptations of films rather than
plays. The first Lux film adaptation was The Legionnaire
and the Lady, with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable,
based on the film Morocco. That was followed by a Lux
adaptation of The Thin Man, featuring the movie’s actual
stars, Myrna Loy and William Powell.
Though the show focused on film and its performers,
several classic radio regulars appeared in Lux Radio
Theatre productions. Jim and Marian Jordan, better known
as Fibber McGee and Molly, appeared on the show twice
and also built an episode of their own radio comedy
series around one of those appearances. Their longtime
costar, Arthur Q. Bryan (wisecracking Doc Gamble on
Fibber McGee and Molly), made a few Lux appearances as
well. Bandleader Phil Harris, a longtime regular on Jack
Benny’s radio program and his wife Alice Faye, who
became radio stars with their own comedy show in 1948,
appeared in a Lux presentation. Fred Allen, Jack Benny
(with and without his wife, Mary Livingstone), George
Burns and Gracie Allen were among the other radio stars
who were invited to do Lux presentations as well.
Lux Radio Theatre once presented an adaptation of the
film version of a radio series, The Life of Riley,
featuring William Bendix as the Brooklyn-born,
California-transplanted, stumbling but bighearted
aircraft worker he already made famous in the
long-running radio series (and eventual television hit)
of the same name. At least once Lux Radio Theatre
offered a presentation without any known performers; its
adaptation of This Is the Army during World War II
featured a cast of American soldiers.
A famous urban legend claimed that actor Sonny Tufts was
slated to appear as a guest alongside Joan Fontaine for
a production of The Major and the Minor on Lux Radio
Theatre. When Joseph Cotten read the names of the next
week’s cast, he supposedly said, with a mixture of shock
and astonishment, that listeners would hear “that new,
talented personality… Sonny Tufts?!” However, this
never happened. The legend began as a fake segment on
one of Kermit Schafer’s popular “Bloopers” albums, which
have been criticized for their re-creations,
fabrications and lack of accuracy. In actuality, Tufts
was introduced by Cotten on the radio series Suspense,
but Cotten’s introduction was perfectly normal.
This 2 DVD set
contains all know episodes of Lux Radio Theater,
totaling over 1300 episodes in all.

PLEASE READ
ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:
The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay’s estimates,
not ours.  Sometimes ebay’s dates are completely
unrealistic.  Every effort is made to get your item out the
next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please
understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since
the USPS does not give us a guarantee either.  Below is our
estimates on what to expect:
USA CUSTOMERS
:  Most times, your package will arrive in
about 1 week
after we ship
them
depending on where you are at. 
However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very
cooperative with us and we’ve had a couple of customers wait a few
days longer than that.  If the item does not arrive, please
email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.
NON-USA CUSTOMERS
:  Same deal above,  except your
packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship
them.  We’ve noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been
waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments.  The only
explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some
container in some dock waiting on customs clearance.  It happens,
and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very
little we can do about that.  Your disk will arrive or we will replace
it.
Multiple items purchased by the same
customer may or may not be shipped in the same package,
at our
discretion
.  We do not offer any additional discounts on
multiple items other than the ones noted above
.
Feedback Policy:
Please offer us a chance
to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any
reason by emailing us first with your problem.  The only thing
we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they
give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad
feedback.  If negative feedback is left without any prior
communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in
communicating and working things out.
If you run into
issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain
from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a
question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a
request!
If you have any questions
prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us
know.  Thank you!!!!!!
