		This first year of The Lux Radio Theatre suffered from a shortage of adaptable plays, and when the ratings began to sag, changes were needed to keep the program afloat.
		The majority of The Lux Radio Theatre shows would fall into three categories: I) the films which were transplanted basically intact from screen to radio with the main stars accompanying, 2) those which starred the majority of the key stars with worthy replacements, and 3) movies which had severe changes in the main roles.
		Whether the program was as strong as The Lux Radio Theatre or a one time presentation of a recent movie over the airways, these new versions of familiar films, without the pictures, allow the listener to recall the film from its outstanding visual remembrances.

	Cecil B. Demille @ Classic Move Favorites - Lux Radio Theater
		In terms of personal publicity and money (he received a $100,000 yearly salary), Lux Radio Theater was a great boon to him.
		Cecil never regretted his stand, but the last radio adaptation under his direction, Tender Comrade (a few years later, ironically, to become a picture labeled "red" by Joseph McCarthy's probe into Communism in Hollywood), starring Olivia de Havilland, June Deprez, and Dennis O'Keef, was a sad parting.

	Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : Thrilling Days of Yesteryear
		During its nearly twenty years on radio, Lux was the outlet for prime radio drama, regularly presenting Hollywood’s top stars in lavish audio recreations of top films—like Humphrey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny and Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, to name a couple of examples.
		The first of the Lux broadcasts I sampled yesterday eve was a nice adaptation of the classic 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street, broadcast December 22, 1947 and showcasing four of the film’s stars: Maureen O’Hara, John Payne, Natalie Wood, and Edmund Gwenn (who deservedly won a 1947 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role).
		Some of the Lux adaptations do feature comedians in radio versions of their films (a good example being Bob Hope and Lucille Ball in Fancy Pants from September 10, 1951); those are kind of neat especially if they get some good ad-libs going.
