| Title | : | lux radio theater (758) all about eve |
| Air Date | : | 10.01.1951 ( October 1, 1951) |
| Plot | : | + The Lux Radio Theatre. October 1, 1951. "All About Eve". Sponsored by: Lux. A story about a stage-struck understudy who makes it to the top with ruthless ambition. The story was produced again on The Lux Radio Theatre on November 23, 1954. + In his introduction the producer William Keighley says, When I was directing plays on the New York stage I had a first hand opportunity to watch the frantic struggle of young actresses to attain stardom in the theatre, but none that I knew at least used the tactics of the young woman in our play tonight, All About Eve. I first read about Eve’s unorthodox behaviour in a magazine story by Mary Orr entitled The Wisdom of Eve and I was delighted to see Twentieth Century Fox turn it in to the award winning picture of 1950. A portion of this honor may be attributed the unforgettable performances of Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, and Gary Merrill. Lux is happy to present them tonight in their original roles along with Reginald Gardner as the malicious critic. + No one would have believed in the middle of the twentieth century that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than mans. Yet across the gulf of space on the planet of Mars, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our earth with envious eyes slowly and surely drawing their plans against us. Mars is more than 140 million miles from the sun and for centuries it has been in the last stages of exhaustion. The inhabitants of this planet looked across space with instruments of intelligence of which we have scarcely dreamed, searching for another world to which they could migrate. Their nearest world was giant Jupiter where the atmospheric pressure is thousands of pounds to the square inch, they could not go there. Nor to Saturn nor to Pluto, planets encased in eternal ice. They could not go to Neptune or Uranus twin worlds in eternal night and surrounded by un breathable atmospheres of methane gas. They could not go to Mercury; its temperature is that of molten lead. Of all the worlds the intelligences on Mars could see and study, only our own warm earth was green with vegetation, ripe with water and possessed a cloudy atmosphere eloquent with fertility. It did not occur to mankind that a swift fate may be hanging over us and that it would come with the time of our nearest approach to the orbit to Mars that it would begin or over the mountains North East of California on a pleasant summer evening… |
