"Lux Presents Hollywood!"
Get ready to listen to some of the finest films Hollywood ever produced, because The Lux Radio Theatre is on the air. In this classic collection you’ll hear some of the best lighthearted comedies from the golden age of Hollywood. Hosted by Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille, these shows are interesting not only as great radio plays, but they stand as a kind of “what if” scenario for movie buffs. For instance, what if Robert Taylor starred in Frank Capra’s Broadway Bill instead of Warner Baxter? Well, this is your chance to find out as Taylor takes on the lead role with the help of leading lady, Frances Dee.
Also featured in this collection are: Wallace Beery, Clara Kimball Young, and Marjorie Rambeau in an adaptation of Booth Tarkington’s classic novel, The Plutocrat. Beery plays a simple American businessman trying to mix with sophisticated Europeans during an ocean voyage. As a bonus, in this episode Walt Disney and Clarence “Ducky” Nash make an appearance and have some fun with Beery’s real life daughter, Carol Ann. You’ll also hear Ginger Rogers, Warren William, and the very funny Alan Mowbray starring in The Curtain Rises. Frank Capra is not only represented in this collection with the radio version of Broadway Bill, but you’ll also hear his classic, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, starring the film’s original stars, Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur. Listen for co-star, Lionel Stander also repeating his performance from the film. Ginger Rogers is back, playing opposite George Brent (in the roles originated by Claudette Colbert and Melvyn Douglas) in She Married Her Boss, featuring young Edith Fellows recreating her role as a spoiled little brat. And finally, you’ll hear one of the great actors of all time, Charles Laughton, appearing with his real life wife, Elsa Lanchester in The Sidewalks of London, featuring the great British comedian, Claude Allister in fine support. This is an adaptation of the British film, St. Martin’s Lane, re-titled The Sidewalks of London for American consumption. This was broadcast on Lincoln’s birthday, by the way, and in honor of the occasion Mr. Laughton performs his classic reading of The Gettysburg Address.
This is a set you don’t want to miss, whether you’re a classic film fan, or a fan of classic radio. You’ll be proud to add these to your collection so you can settle back and listen to a great film, lovingly restored by Radio Archives.
Nick Santa Maria, a published film historian and author, is the Project Producer for this series.

Poor Sam Parker!
He wakes up from an alcoholic blackout to discover he’s being arrested for killing a man in a hit and run accident. He has no memory of the previous night—how he got so drunk, who was with him, how he got home from the bar. All a blank. His car—parked askew in the front yard—has a badly damaged front fender ominously covered with a drying smear of blood.
He remembers going to the bar the night before—but that’s it.
Then, at his trial, the prosecution drops a bomb. A last minute witness is discovered, a cheap hooker who says Sam picked her up and took her to his place for a date. He was crazy drunk, driving all over the road, she testifies, when he veered across the road and struck a man, killing him instantly.
That was the bad luck story Sam Parker had hanging over him as they hauled him off to prison.
Four years go by, four long years in a ratty Tennessee state prison they call “The Snake Pit.” Sam keeps his head down and behaves himself. Then one day, the warden calls him in and drops another bomb on him.
The Warden says to pack up—he’s a free man.
Turns out Sam Parker was framed by a crew of dirty cops who wanted the dead man out of the way for political reasons. The State Attorney General is investigating corruption in the crooked little town that sent Sam to prison. Indictments are coming. Arrests are imminent.
Not before I get some answers, Sam swears under his breath.

by Frank Eisgruber, Jr. Preface by Robert Weinberg
Read by Roger Price. Liner notes by Robert Weinberg
Of all the characters introduced by the pulps, no one was more popular or more influential than The Shadow. No other character so captured the interest and imagination of the American public during the thirties and forties. From the radio to the pulps back to the radio The Shadow was the dominant fictional character of the time. But what exactly is the background of this mysterious fighter for law and justice?
At first, The Shadow is completely a man of mystery. We know nothing of him other than his complete enmity of crime. He is the master of disguise who appears mysteriously when the situation seems most hopeless. His guns speak a language that make the most hardened criminal cringe with fear. But, as time goes on, we learn more and more about The Shadow. We are introduced to a small but dedicated band of agents he recruits to help him in his war against crime. The Shadow was a genius capable of solving the most intricate puzzles and schemes.
Strangely enough, while one of the most popular characters ever in American literature, as well as one of the most famous radio characters ever, very little has been written about The Shadow. During the thirties and the forties, a few articles about The Shadow did appear, usually as a tie-in with some Street and Smith magazine campaign, or written by Gibson and appearing in a writers’ magazine.
Still, no work of any length has ever been done on The Shadow pulps, concentrating on the stories themselves. Frank Eisgruber Jr. is a devoted Shadow fan who owns a complete set of the magazine. Frank has written extensively for pulp fiction fanzines and is familiar with all that has been written on the mysterious crime fighter. He has read every Shadow novel a number of times and has extensive notes on the entire series. This audiobook is a result of his studies.
