 Lux presents Hollywood the Lux Radio Theatre brings you Judy Garland John Payne and Adolf Mongeau in morning glory. Ladies and gentlemen your producer Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. The odds were 10,000 to one against a certain 13 year old girl who came to a certain Hollywood studio looking for a job but the theater was in our blood. A mother and father were vote of villains. She herself had worked in a singing act with her sisters and like every other trooper the world over. Judy Garland wanted to be a star. Seven years have passed and the dreams of our little 10,000 to one shot have come true. Judy is a star. The latest evidence of that is the new Metro Golden Mayor picture for me and my gal. Because she's lived so much of tonight's story herself we've cast her as one of the stars in Zoe Akin's great drama of the footlights the RKO motion picture morning glory and soaring with her are two leading men John Payne and Adolf Mongeau. Morning glory is the saga of one stage struck girl who had talent and a fighting heart and because it's written in such warm and human terms it becomes the story of all those girls who flocked to Broadway and Hollywood through the years but with each girl the story has a different ending and here's another story that's developed an unusual twist. Some time ago I told you about my adventures in washing my own woolen socks. Later a newspaper cartoon gave a very graphic picture of the same activity and consequently my mail has been full of letters from men all over the country who turn out to be brothers under the skin they use looks like too. I thought at the time I took over the job that I was really some sort of domestic hero but it appears that I have many companions at the wash tub and all seem anxious to give advice to a fellow member of the club. Some insist that wire drying frames are the best others vote for wooden ones I'm a wooden frame man myself but the main point is plenty of those suds that come only from Lux Flakes and now the thrill that comes with the curtain going up as we present the first act of morning glory starring Judy Garland as Eva Lovelace John Payne as Joseph Sheridan and Adolf Marjou as Lewis Easton. Lewis Easton the famous theatrical producer is casting a new play up and down Broadway the tidings have spread like a flame and his outer office is jammed with actors and actresses young and old good and bad well-dressed and shabby among them and obviously out of place is Eva Lovelace Eva is the product of a small college town and looks as though she might have won school honors and dramatics she smiled brightly at the besieged secretary and speaks in her finest stage English. How do you do my name is Eva Lovelace and I'd like to see Mr. Easton please so a lot of people did you get a call well no I didn't you see I've never met Mr. Easton that's a shame isn't it what experience please well I haven't had any that is not on Broadway no experience I see yes that's why I'd like to meet Mr. Easton because if he's never seen me then he doesn't know what I'm like and that's rather important when you're casting to type isn't it yes rather I'll put your name on the list thank you have a seat if you can find one thank you very much I hear you that's a break for her Lewis Easter well she has a box office drawer why I don't know what's the name of the play anyone know loose skies Joseph Sheridan wrote it look they're Sheridan now please quiet there are only a few parts just a moment please is Vivian Hall here yes Mr. Sheridan will you wait please and Mr. Hedges right here sir Mr. Easton we'll see you in a moment Hedges thank now we won't have time to see anyone else today sorry miss Hall oh yes may I congratulate you on obtaining a part it must be thrilling to work for the great Mr. Easton thank you I I don't believe I've met you my name is Eva Lovelace you've probably never heard of me because I'm just starting if Mr. Easton takes me this will be my New York debut oh but I've acted ever since I was child really oh yes just a little theater amateur but good I suppose you've had a great deal of experience yes I have aren't you cold in that suit it's hardly warm enough for a day like this I like to feel cold it makes me feel strong or miss hall yes you won't have to stay any longer come in tomorrow and we'll give you the part thank you Mr. Hedges do you mind waiting a few more minutes not at all I'm used to waiting thanks Mr. Hedges did anyone ever tell you you have an absolutely exquisite voice well thank you young lady I could tell you with a real thing right off I'm taken for English sometimes too that is at home in Franklin Vermont may I sit beside you I certainly thank you of course I know your name is Hedges but won't you tell me your full name because I want you to be my very first friend in New York well it's Robert Harley Hedges my it's impressive mine's Eva Lovelace and that's a nice name it's partly made up and partly real it was Ada Love Love is my family name I added the name you like it a shorter name would be much more convenient on a sign still Eva Lovelace in Camille for instance or Eva Lovelace in Romeo and Juliet sounds very distinguished doesn't it oh yes you see I don't want to keep my family's name because I should probably have several scandals while I live and I don't want to cause them any trouble until I'm famous then they won't mind yes of course you you said something about my becoming your first friend yes my friend and teacher you speak so beautifully and I I know I speak so non-discreetly but I wanted to ask you if you'll give me a lesson every day right off what I really want to pay not once because I I have only enough money for a certain length of time I've got to succeed before it's gone but I had planned to go to the best teacher I could find and arrange to pay later of course I should have to find someone who believed in me unequivocally how unequivocally do you mean unequivocally yes that's it thank you you see those are the things I've got to learn won't you give me a lesson every day and let me pay you later when I find a good part but I live way uptown and well my place isn't exactly a studio that doesn't matter so long as it's quiet and we can sit and smoke oh I smoke of course though in Franklin it still isn't done in the best of family really oh isn't that a picture of voluntary up there on the wall yes I played with her many years ago was she very lovely you've been in theater a long time haven't you did you know Sarah Burnham yes she was the most wonderful of all wasn't she they were both wonderful Leon Hart broke your heart Ellen Terry mended it I suppose I'll never be wonderful not wonderful like them but I've got something wonderful in me too you'll see you'll help me with all the great parts won't you Julie at Lady Macbeth a clear picture someday my picture will be on that wall why not you see that picture next to the door oh yes that's Rita Vernon Rita Vernon a few years ago she was young and ambitious and unknown like you she made a hit in a small part and now she's a star she's a mr. Easton's office now isn't she I heard someone say so oh I'd love to meet her I saw her once she was so sweet yes at times she's very sweet she has a lovely disposition very lovely indeed I'm sick of the whole thing sick of it do you hear I wouldn't care if I never played another part for you again please stop throwing my bosses around I sit down and con yourself you're giving me a headache what do you suppose you give me three trashy plays in the last two years and now another one Rita that's not very complimentary to mr. Sheridan oh don't mind me I'm just the author I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you Joseph you have written me a couple of hits well thanks but I don't want light things anymore I want drama something I can get my teeth into but Joseph wrote blue skies especially for you I wouldn't know it from reading it the man's part hogs the whole show oh Lewis why can't you get me something by what's his name you know the man who wrote the thing Catherine Cornell did last season Mona yes didn't you take an option and a play by him because Joseph was crazy about it yes but then yes he did it'll be a great play when we find the right woman for the part reader right woman for the part why haven't you sent this play to me to read well it isn't translated yet Rita I'm working on it now that's right I don't think you'll like it Rita I'll decide that for myself what's the name of it oh the golden bow now listen Rita I tell you what I'll do I'll make you a proposition you play blue skies for me after that you can pick your own play any play you like all right when can I see a script Lewis I will send it to your department tomorrow Rita tomorrow morning but I tell you she won't like it it's all wrong for her shows of please Rita isn't silly enough to play something she isn't right for are you Rita certainly not but I have an idea Lewis that I'll be just right for golden bow goodbye darling goodbye sweet Lewis are you crazy I'll wait Vernon can't play that part it's sacrilege I know I know but I had to do something to get it play blue skies well you didn't have to ruin the mold art piece quiet quiet come in yes what is it Mr. Hedges sir he's been waiting quite a while oh yes send him in morning Mr. Easton hello there Bob sorry to have kept you waiting right all right have a seat now the parts right up your street you play you do Mr. Easton I'm so happy to meet you what how did you get in here this is a this is either lovelace Mr. Easton she was waiting outside we were talking and I just made Mr. Hedges bring me in I hope you don't mind Mr. Easton but if there's one person I wanted to meet it's you I just reverence your work thank you that's very kind miss lovelace is rather anxious to become an actress well that's fine that's fine now Bob about the part it's not long but it's good the father again that's right how about it delighted well go and tell Seymour to make up a contract thanks very much Mr. Easton may I sit down here and wait Mr. Easton wait for what well until you're not busy so you can interview me well I'm very busy right this minute oh it's all right Lewis I'm all through now oh sit down miss oh thank you uh what did you say your name was miss uh lovelace evil lovelace do you like it I could change it if you don't no no it's all right oh I'm glad have you been on the stage long miss lovelace well not on the regular stage but I was in a lot of plays the Franklin theater girl gave at the little theater the little theater yes in Franklin Vermont you know the Franklin players Franklin players oh yes of course of course Franklin's where I lived until some time ago the Franklin newspaper seemed quite sure I had a future I play all sorts of parts header you know Ibsen's head of course the old woman and riders to the sea and kitty and you never can tell by sure and then I sure oh yes Bernard Shaw the one and only you think Shaw's clever miss lovelace ah he's our greatest living dramatist is that so oh yes by the way I had a charming letter from him the other day I wrote him a letter and told him I was coming to New York and expected to be very famous and have a theater of my own so I could act his clear patriot I have his answer right here with me it's never left me a moment since I received it I even sleep with it under my pillow that's fine well suppose you come back next week or so oh wait Lewis may I see the letter miss lovelace of course I think it was charming of him to write don't you miss east oh yes charming Lewis this is very interesting he's very happy miss lovelace is going to see he's properly recognized when she has her own repertory theater he hopes miss lovelace won't forget oh I won't I've swung it there will always be a short play in my repertoire as long as I remain in the theater of course I expected to die at my zenith my star shall never set I've sworn that too and when the time comes when I feel I've done my best I shall really die by my own hand some night at the end of the play on the stage the producer will love that I'm sure miss lovelace I hope you'll excuse me but I have a few appointments waiting of course I know and you don't think there's anything for me in your new production well I'm afraid not there aren't any young girl parts in this play well perhaps an old woman that are a middle-aged one I can do both there really isn't anything miss lovelace oh I'm sorry of course money is no object with me I'll play any part that appeals to me for twenty dollars oh but I'll never under any circumstances play a part for which I do not feel a sincere congeniality well that's very credible now miss no one is nothing to me absolutely nothing I could have married for money if I'd wanted to Edwin Talbot the son of W.E. Talbot one of the richest men in Franklin wanted to marry me you've heard of W.E. Talbot the chow-chow king I know I uh I don't believe I have honey why Talbot's chow-chow is famous of course practically owns Franklin but I think artists should be free free to live free to love free to miss lovelace please uh Joseph that appointment we're late very late sorry miss lovelace well I won't hold you any longer good day mr east good day good day just leave your number with my secretary I will and good day to you mr uh Sheridan of course I'll see you again I hope and you missed yes yes come in when you get another letter from Bernard Shaw thank you you've been so kind oh wow oh wow oh wow oh uh excuse me just one more thing mr eastern yes I've had voice training too singing you know I've never taken it very seriously because acting straight dramatic acting is my strong point yes I'll keep that in mind thank you thank you oh wow oh wow oh Joseph I wish you'd show a little more respect for my valuable time what's the matter but why encourage those people I thought she was going to spend the day you know Lewis I think that kid's got something well she's got nerve if that's what you mean say don't you think she might do the bit we had in the last act what bit the maid sure doesn't have to be acted if she'll just get out there and speak that's all we need why don't you let her try are you crazy why not the girl's looking for a break that she's a nut she's wacky oh no she isn't she's just trying to make an impression go on give her the part all right all right I'll think it over well my dear how do you feel on your first opening night nervous oh dear no I feel as if at last I'm in my rightful sphere of course I know I'm just a small cog in bringing a creation to life I wouldn't say that my dear oh well I only have three lines that's true but those three lines are very important to the plot yes I realize the responsibility entrusted to me and then I practically have the last line in the play haven't I where I say to miss Vernon mr Frederick is calling long distance will you take it here ma'am well then there's only one more short speech so it's really the finish of the play isn't it that's right on stage curtain on stage please well here we go good luck my dear good luck to you mr hedges and thank you so much nonsense what for for helping an actress get started on her career let's hope it's a good long and my dear see you later yes mr hedges mr Frederick is calling long distance will you take it here ma'am no uh mr Frederick is calling long distance oh mr Frederick is calling long distance mr Frederick is calling long distance will you take it here ma'am it's over all right it came right next to being over for good what happened to that girl you mean even yes that lovelace nut oh I just think she was a little nervous she was not she got out there and hand all over the place who do you think she is very hard no she'll have to do something about that made it was horrible all right Rita all right she's simply ruined that I tell me I don't know what happened to me don't speak to me all my nerves curtain call miss Vernon shut up Lois you've got to do something do you hear now listen Rita I tell you I'll do don't tell me do it oh mr eastern I'm so sorry when I got out there I I know it was bad but the lights and the people yes I know I know I'm sorry too don't worry either you'll be all right tomorrow night no she won't I'm afraid oh yes I will mr eastern I'll work on it all day and tomorrow there won't be any tomorrow night miss lovelace not for you I have my star to think of we'll have to replace you replace me but mr eastern so charlie what happened to those borders in the last scene well watch it tomorrow yes sir I will where's Jim Blaine I tell him I want to see him will you Eva don't cry here wait come here no please please don't say anything Eva let her go Joseph there's nothing you can do about it she's just an amateur and not a very good one at that all right move along please oh good evening officer I'll kind of lay don't you miss yes I was I was just standing in the lobby looking at the pictures well suppose you stand somewhere else off my beat I wouldn't want to run you and miss oh well it's all right really you see there on the sign that's that's my name at the bottom there I'm Eva Lovelace oh are you yes you see actress after a brief intermission mr de mill presents act two of morning glory starring judy garland john pain and adolf manju you recognize that sound well it's mrs brown washing up the dinner dishes and right next door yes that's mrs allen doing dishes in her kitchen it sounds just about the same doesn't it and that's too bad because there's really a big difference in what those two women are doing you see one of them is using luxe flakes for her dishes and the other one is using well any one of a number of strong dishwashing soaps one look at those two pair of hands tells the story the luxe hands are soft and smooth the others are rough and red and unattractive typical dish pan hands yet those soft smooth luxe hands do just as much dishwashing as the rough unattractive ones it's the soap that makes the difference and changing soaps changing from strong suds to gentle luxe flakes and change those rough red hands back to their natural loveliness that has been proved by actual tests it's worth a lot to any woman to have hands she's proud of but do you know how little it costs to change from strong soaps to gentle luxe you can do it for less than a penny a day get the thrifty big box of luxe flakes first thing tomorrow and use it for your dishes every day after act two we've got a special bargain for all flower lovers have a pencil and paper ready you'll want to make a note of this now our producer mr. de mill act two of morning glory starring judy garland as evil lovelace john pain as joseph charidan and adult monju as louis easton six months have passed since evil lovelace failed in our broadway debut six long

across the street from the theater where blue skies is playing either sits at the counter or cup of coffee you want anything else miss no thank you just coffee that's all thank you okay good evening oh isn't this my old pupil mr. hedges how nice to see you i was just passing the window i thought it was you it's been a long time since you came for a lesson either well i i've been so frightfully busy you know how it is yes let me see the last time i ran into you you were uh oh yes i was rehearsing for the products of course it was only chorus work but i took the job for experience one needs all sorts of experience and besides there was a lull in the drama yes are you working now well no not at the moment anyhow here's your checklist you're i'll take that oh no you mustn't how much is it please five cents five cents is that all yes i i had coffee after dinner coffee of course here you are come along Eva i'll take you home oh but really mr hedges you mustn't go out of your way really

delightful room mr sherdon i like that etching it looks like a whistler why yes it is and that's a lovely pen and ink of mr easton he's very attractive isn't he yes very i thought of him often i was sorry on his account i wasn't good in that part well it's always rather hard getting started my dear i brought you some food well thank you mr hedges but who cares about prosaic things like food oh no don't take it away there you are my dear looks awfully nice here here i'm taking care of this little lady am i right little lady go away charlie go away no no i discovered this little lady when she first came in here little lady champagne oh another do you think i sure sure sure come on i've never had champagne until tonight go on drink up drink up oh it it tickles doesn't it tickles she said it tickles hey charlie peter go on whenever you come along with me we'll have a bite to eat tickles she said it tickles oh what are we talking about i don't know how long this blue sky is going to run all about another month then we're going to take it on tour and after that well after that reader vernon is going to play the more and more part golden bow oh she could never do justice to that part oh what makes you so sure of that because she couldn't don't you see she just couldn't i know i read the play well of course it hasn't been translated yet live i read it in the original oh sorry do you mind please some some more champagne more don't you think i ought to that depends i'd say on what time you had dinner what about lunch oh lunch helps too oh look there's mr eason do you suppose he'd mind if i went over and spoke to him no i don't think so mr eason oh mr eason yes mr eason do you mind if i sit here beside you not at all miss lovely thank you mr eason i've got something to tell you mr eason i shouldn't be surprised if i am a great actress oh you think so i shouldn't be surprised either i'm a rotten actress or i'm a great actress i'm not just a pretty good actress sometimes i think i'm very very bad no good at all but tonight i think i'm wrong when i think that i feel wonderful mr eason not afraid anymore well i'm glad of that you see i i wasn't afraid not for a long time when i lost that part i thought it must be because i was a genius and geniuses always have a hard time then i began to get afraid maybe i'm crazy i got thinking maybe i'm not a genius then i said it's better not to think in this world where but to think is to be full of sorrow it's better not to think because i'm almost thoroughly convinced i'm a genius again miss lovelace don't you think you'd better have some supper no please listen i want to tell you i love your party mr eason i love new york except that broadway is too commercial but isn't new york a beautiful city i love it i love to walk and walk and look and look and frankly and if you walk very far you're on a country road with nothing but cornfields everywhere still there's something about it about those cornfields that gives you a feeling of being great and lonely i feel it now right here in my heart i tell you i know i know i'm a great actress i'm the greatest young actress living and i'm going to go on getting greater and greater miss lovelace you're making a fool of yourself a fool that shows how much you know you're talking to the greatest actress in the world and i'm going to prove it listen to this listen to be or not to be that is the question whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune either come outside please what are they laughing at soundless not a comedy it's a tragedy keep quiet keep quiet you hear evil if you think that's so funny maybe you think romeo and julie it's funny too give me that show off from the piano and everybody sits still you're going to hear some acting now listen oh romeo romeo wherefore out there romeo deny thy father and refuse thy name or if i will not be but my sworn love and i'll no longer be a cat to his but by name it is my enemy obese her mother name what's in a name that which we call a rose by any other name would smell a spoon so romeo would worry not romeo called retain that dear perfection which he owes without that part romeo doff thy name and for that name which is no part of the take all myself what's the matter evil what is it my head i feel so so funny i i feel as if i'm going to get some water somebody water here well that's one way of getting attention come on Joseph give me a hand we'll carry her in the library put it on over here that's it she'll be all right i'll have the maid come in and look out to her come on poor kid she probably hasn't had a square meal in a month or perhaps she's had just too much champagne that time sometimes happens to people how do you feel miss lovelace oh i feel oh here take another swallow of this oh no i couldn't i just hear here it's only coughing good for you oh thank you my head feels a little funny i'm sorry i spoiled your party mr easton don't be silly you didn't spoil it but where is everybody they've gone home you've been asleep for a couple of hours oh i'm so sorry but you've nothing to be sorry for i mean it did you did you like my juliet you're juliet i thought it was charming oh i'm glad i did want to prove it to you that i could really act when i flopped in blue skies i didn't mind so much for myself but i did mind failing you i'd worshiped you from afar for such a long time you i beg your pardon i'd worshiped you i did i like that i think you've done such beautiful things in the theater and you can't do beautiful things unless unless you think beautiful thoughts that's why i liked you because i knew you'd be like this kind and sweet no one has ever said that to me before you almost make me believe it you're very sweet either thank you now don't you think i'd better take you home oh no please not yet just let me sit here and and talk there's so much i want to talk to you about all right we'll talk go ahead you think i'm worth talking to don't you i hope you do it means so much to to speak to someone who understands things as you do don't you think you give me a little too much credit most people think of me as being pretty hard-boiled oh you're not though you may think you are too but down underneath you you're like a boy you bluster as if you're so very sure of things and you're not except your love of the theater that's why i've never been afraid of you you're much too young and much too pretty to be afraid of anything i am no mr eastern did you ever want anything with all your heart and have a horrible feeling inside of you that you were never going to get it many times i felt like that when i was just a kid in a roadshow came to town i used to hang around the stage door every night and once they let me do a walk on i tripped on my first entrance and yet you've succeeded in done great things beautiful things so can you weaver yes i know it's such a long hard road isn't it but i'm willing to work hard you can have anything if you work for it that must be true perhaps perhaps i could make the road easier for you if you'd let me then then you really think i can act i think i think you're the most beautiful the most charming creature i've ever met either oh why did you do that why did you kiss me why did you think i wanted you to no of course not but i did that's funny isn't it i didn't know i wanted you to kiss me until you did and you know i've always said an actress had to know everything and i never knew anything oh i feel so strange is this what they call love lewis because if it is i i think i like it eve yes eve i think i'd better take you home come in good morning sir good morning harvey mr sherrydon is here sir no come in joseph hello lewis how are you sit down sorry i had to get you over here so early but uh i need your help well i um i got myself a little involved last night what again yes i uh i don't know just how to handle the situation you can get yourself in the more jams lewis what happened nothing really absolutely nothing just the same i wondered if you'd see her for me and uh well tell her i've gone out of town or something i'm very much embarrassed joseph she's she's an awful little fool oh she's undoubtedly there she's she's got very romantic ideas not only about me about the theater too i wish i'd never given her that part in the first place i wouldn't be in this jam now what part what girl are you talking about that uh that girl eve eve love place certainly what did you think i was talking about well i i didn't know man the little fool thinks she's in love with me well how about it joseph i'd like you to see her for me sorry i can't do it oh come on i don't feel that way about it all you've got to do is to tell her that i'm out of town well that's very easy easy isn't it why don't you give her another part no my plays aren't cast like that you know it besides i don't want to see it again why bother about her at all because she's young she's half starved and she's on my mind i've made out a check for her here give it to her you can do your own dirty work give it to her yourself all right i understand how you feel no i i don't think you do wait a minute you're not going to tell me that you oh no no it's very funny isn't it i'm glad i can hand you a laugh once in a while i'm sorry i didn't know it was that way you're sort of romantic too yeah i i suppose so that's why i understand her you know what she's going through do you know what she'll have to go through yet before she begins to do the thing she has her heart set on doing do you suppose this is going to help her no i don't if you couldn't think of any way out i'll be glad to hear about it all right i'll speak to her i suppose the sooner she begins to look at things sensibly the better it'll be for her give me the check here you are i'll see you later i'll be in the office thank you joseph yeah sure joseph oh hello i wanted to see you oh but i can't stay i i only came down for a minute i'm going out i i just wanted to leave these flowers for him for mr easton they aren't much are they but they're nice tell them i brought them oh wait you you can wait a moment can't you well i i want to go before i see him of course it's only for a little while it's just that there's so much in my heart and i want to be by myself you understand yes i think i'll walk through the park alone where i can plan a little we'll do wonderful things together louis and i and you'll help us won't you you know what it's like it's like two rivers flowing through the same valley to the same sea his life and mine and now they're to flow together oh i'll make him proud of me joseph so proud i want to tell you it's strange how it's all happened yesterday i was alone and frightened really a little frightened and now of course it isn't because his work is in the theater or because he's important and can help me even if he'd never seen a theater i never wanted to see one i think i'd feel very much the same at least just now i liked him the moment i saw him you remember that day in the office years and years ago and you've always been terribly kind to me joseph thank you so much goodbye joseph was that either joseph uh what was that eve out here oh yes what did you tell her where is she is she gone joseph oh yes yes

going to be so much more wonderful my dear so many people can be wonderful every year we see them these young people who come to new york with the idea of conquering the world it's amazing how many of them succeed too and then fail youth comes to the front youth has its hour of glory but so often it's just a morning glory a flower that's gone before the sun is high all right i wish you could have waited until tomorrow to say all this to me hedges is right either that woman ella the costume mistress do you know who she was 25 years ago she was the toast of broadway her name was ester forest ester forest i've heard of her well you don't hear it over now she was a morning glory but nothing must interfere with your career you understand me you've got to keep your head that's why you're coming to my office tomorrow and sign a contract to play this part as long as the public wants to see you in it that's why you mustn't take people too seriously the people who are going to be running after you from now on telling you what to play next living your life for you you must keep your health and your money and your head if you don't want to be a morning glory evil of late you'd better get out there louis right good night either good night tomorrow morning either at the office yes either what's the matter what well you look sort of crushed joseph i i was a great success tonight wasn't i yes a very great success yes and now it doesn't seem to make any difference it's all it's also empty why you mustn't feel like that i understand though do you i think so you've understood everything you've been so good to me joseph should i tell you why oh no don't please let me even though you know already i've loved you for such a long time either i know what you've been through i know how it's hurt you but it's not a hurt that can't be soothed by understanding and care and love you'd be happy with me you would either yes i i think i would either that's all i'm going to say to you now this is your hour your hour of glory yes yes it is oh joseph i i'm not afraid anymore they were trying to frighten me before trying to frighten me into being sensible but they can't do it i'm too happy i won't be sensible not now not yet you've got to let me be as foolish as i want i'll have a white ermine coat and i'll have rooms full of orchids and little apple trees and white violets and you've got to let me think i'm much more wonderful than anyone else in the world just now and you've got to promise not to try and make me sensible for i'm not afraid of being just a morning glory i'm not afraid microphone for a curtain call now here's an interesting thing i read the other day a soldier needs five to 20 times as much clothing as one of his fellow americans in civilian life well with so much of our fabric supply going into military service and other wartime uses too you can see why it's so important for all of us to make every bit of clothing we have last and wear longer than ever before and that's why so many women today are giving their washables lux care here's what the office of war information says about conserving clothes mild soap and a minimum of rubbing will prolong life that's expert advice and if you stick to lux it's easy to follow lux flakes are preferred by women everywhere for mildness and with gentle lux care there's no harmful cake soap rubbing nothing to fade or shrink or injure fabrics or colors yes pretty rayon dresses blouses sweaters gay cottons and nice household linens will last longer if you lux them actually more makers of nice washables advise lux flakes than advise all other soaps put together so start tomorrow to save your pretty washables to keep them lovely longer the lux way now mr. de mill returns with our stars back to the footlights now come the three stars who put the glory and morning glory tonight judy garland john pain and adult mojo thank you mr. de mill it was really a thrill for me to be in morning glory
