Lux Radio Theater started as a Sunday afternoon anthology featuring radio versions of Broadway plays. Lux Radio Theater soon struck gold with the addition of Cecil B. DeMille as host when the show began re-creating popular Hollywood films.

Listen to stars such as Fred MacMurray, Loretta Young, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and Claudette Colbert perform in front of a weekly studio audience of 1,000 fans on one of Old Time Radio’s most expensive and longest running programs, Lux Radio Theater.

One of my favorite leading ladies - Claudette Colbert

Mark

One of my 10 alltime favorite films.

Wayne

I love the ones of my favorite movies, like All About Eve, it's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, etc.

Carole

I've been on a Lux Radio Theatre kick lately

Olivia

I also love anything with Cary Grant and Bing Crosby.

Olivia

Love the ones that feature different actors in roles that you think can only be played by the original film stars. Ida Lupino in Now, Voyager--for instance.

Leslie

I'm also fascinated with the adaptation of the screenplays to fit in the allotted time frame. So it's fun to see what cuts are made.

Leslie

Cary Grant. In anything on radio. He's so spontaneous and fun!

Leslie

It's a never-ending list. Fanny Brice, Hanley Stafford, Bob Bailey, Howard McNear, William Conrad, Jim and Marian Jordan, Harold Perry, Willard Waterman, Frank Nelson, and so many more.

Ron

Their voices (plus the talents of the sound effects men) created a whole new world! Maybe that is why OTR is almost in every city and everywhere on the Internet 70 years later.

Peter

As an offshoot to this topic, it amazes me that where there were thousands of Old time Radio parts to play, except for the obvious stars of the shows, the same few actors seemed to be in every show episode. Harry Bartell, Virginia Gregg, John Dehner, Larry Dobkin, William Conrad, Wally Maher, Howard McNear and a number of others..You could count on one of these actors being in most any show episode. A testament to their talent and professionalism.

Tim

Some actors said they had a face for radio.

John

Everett Sloan. John McIntire. Tom Tully. John Stevenson. Teddy Bergman (Alan Reed), Santos Ortega, Frank Readick, Larry Thor, Sam Edwards, Herb Vigran...like Frank Lovejoy, all on radio long before TV and the movies.

Jerry

His name isn't widely remembered but his voice is unforgettable: a Lux Theater show today reminded me how delighted I was to find Arthur Q. Bryan all over the OTR.

John

Wow! Utterly classic

Frank

Lux Theater is a national treasure. And I think most of the episodes are in the public domain.

Michael

Lux Theater is a national treasure. And I think most of the episodes are in the public domain.

Michael

"Brandon de Wilde" one of my favorite actors

Brett

"Brandon de Wilde" Wonderful actor!

Michele

"Frances Farmer" I love old Hollywood and this is the first time I have seen her picture. She suffered a lot and I feel sorry for her

Delilah

What a gorgeous, beautiful girl.

Daniel

Barbara Stanwyck's One of my favorite actresses

Karen

Love, Love, Love this entire collection. They don't make them like this anymore for sure. Thank-you.

Jill

Beware The Quiet Man

John

One of my favorite Lux Radio Theater stories is when DeMille exclaimed, "Who the hell is John Milton Kennedy?" - not realising that John was the announcer.

Lee

Love all the radio classic programs.

Paula

Lux Radio Theater also did a couple of versions of the classic film "Miracle on 34th Street" with some of the original cast members Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Hara, John Payne and Natalie Wood. They also did "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. Jimmy Stewart also did two other versions of "It's a Wonderful Life" on radio. Those are fun to listen to this time of year.

John

Lux Radio Theater is a great show.

Andy

The Lux program is fun for me, because I collect and enjoy golden age movies.

Randy

Lux Radio Theater is my favorite

Jim

Lux Radio was an amazing big-budget show. There are some great broadcasts here!

Bruce

The Lux Radio Theatre presented Hollywood stars playing their original roles in current movies, complete with orchestra, and a live studio audience. Sometimes the original stars couldn't appear, but when they did, they were paid $5,000, which by today's standards is not much, but then that was a very large chunk of cash. The series was hosted by Hollywood mogul Cecil B Demille from 1934 to 1945, then William Keighley (1945-1952), Irving Cumming (1952-1955), and during the 1953 summer season, Ken Carpenter and Don Wilson were the guest hosts. It was broadcast by NBC from 1934 to 1955, always sponsored by Lever Bros for Lux Soap.
