Hollywood on the Radio #12; Lux part 1, The Legionaire & the Lady

With this episode, I begin a five-part series highlighting Lux Radio Theater, the most succesful, longest-running radio drama series in history. We begin with the first Lux Radio Theater boradcast to originate from Hollywood. In The Legionaire and the Lady. Marlene Dietrich recreates her film role, with Clark Gable taking the part played by Gary Cooper in the film version. From this star-studded beginning in 1936, Lux built a phenomenal 20-year run, and sold a whole lot of soap flakes.
