And Johnny Rocco is back in business.
Speaker 2: In a few moments, we returned with the second act
of Key Lardo, and now our Hollywood reporter Libby Collins
with news about the stars.
Speaker 24: Isn't it good to have Betty Hutton back on the
screen again, mister Keeley after a two year absence?
Speaker 16: I should say so.
Speaker 2: You know, Betty is just the girl to put over
a madcap musical like Paramount's Red Hot and Blue.
Speaker 24: Ah, there's no one quite like Betty. She's her own
slambank self once again. Victim Mature plays your boyfriend in
the picture, and I must say they make a wonderful pair.
Speaker 2: There's also a new twist, Libby, having the villain of
the picture played by Frank Lesser, composer of the four
song hits in Red.
Speaker 4: Hot and Blue.
Speaker 24: You know it's his first screen role and he enjoyed
it as much as he did Hearing Betty sing his songs.
Speaker 3: Looks lovelier than ever, doesn't she. Oh?
Speaker 24: Yes, indeed, of course you know she's now the mother
of a second adorable daughter.
Speaker 1: Well that makes three beauties in the family, all Lux
girls at Betty.
Speaker 24: Yes, John, you can be sure those little girls will
get the right start on complexion care. Betty has used
luckso for years to protect her lovely complexion.
Speaker 1: You know, Olibby Lux toilet soap just has to be good.
When nine out of ten famous stars depend on it
for daily beauty.
Speaker 24: Care, there couldn't be a finer soap. Women love the softer,
smoother look Luck soap facials give their skin.
Speaker 1: And these facials do make skin lovelier. Tests by skin
specialists prove it. In actually three out of four cases,
complexions improved in a short time.
Speaker 24: A Luck soap facial is so quick and easy. Just
smooth the creamy, fragrant leather well in rinse, pat with
a soft towel to dry. That's all, but it works.
Speaker 1: Why not take a tip from Hollywood try this fine
product of Lever Brothers Company, the gentle complexion soap that
screen stars recommend. You'll be delighted with the fresh new
beauty Lux toilet soap gives your skin. Now here's our producer,
mister William Keeley.
Speaker 2: Act two of Key Largo starring Edward G. Robinson as
Johnny Rocco, Claire Trevor as Gay and Edmund O'Brien as Frank.
It's a few minutes later on the porch of the
modest hotel, a cluster of Indians patiently observed the increasing
fury of the hurricane. Inside, the lobby and bar are deserted.
Johnny Rocco is going up the stairs.
Speaker 17: Can you talk, Clyde? Are you feeling better?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 4: I guess I'm all right now, missus Temple?

They tried, but they couldn't.
Speaker 4: That's right, mister Sawyer took the United States government to get.
Speaker 9: Johnny rug Yeah, and I'm back again. Ain't I. They

tailor makes a suit of clothes. I take nobody see,
teach him what to say. I pay for his campaign expenses.
They shot a lot of groceries and coal. Get my
boys to bring the voters out, and then count the
votes over and over again, and they add upright when
he's elected.
Speaker 4: And what happens?
Speaker 9: Does he remember when they go and get stuff when

That might be right for you, Curly, but not for
Johnny Rock.
