 | | 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. |
