I listen to a Lux radio theater show every night - usually ones that I am familiar with by having seen the movie. What a great way to fall asleep

Damn, advertising so smooth, makes ME want to buy Lux laundry soap! 😆

I do love to close my eyes,and listen,and just only imagine,the characters, environments and the atmosphere...it's sooo therapeutic for me!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💞💞👍🏻

my favorite Christmas show, with Jimmy Stewart. Thank you.

Fantastic version!!! Those who have seen You've Got Mail a million times like I have, will recognize the copied lines 😁

My introduction to Don Ameche was in the movie “Cocoon”. He was amazing, him and Wilford Briley. It’s so amazing to hear him in his youth.

Love the dialogue in the restaurant beginning 30 min. in ! A good one..thanks!

I wish this cast made the movie.

🌞 thank you

Sound is surprisingly good quality

A long time before you’ve got mail, there was another movie of AShop Round the Corner, starring Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan

Don Ameche has such a handsome voice 😍😍😂😂😊

The actors did a great job

Radio stories had graphics that were better than TV. At least, more worthwhile. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Excellent - thank you.

Wow 78yrs ago!! Just imagine going to Liberia now!!! Maybe one of the most violent countries in the world but that's another story!! Another great story from Lux, it's a shame they don't do these types of shows anymore esp here in the UK.

I always love watching the older movies, and Claudette was one of my all time favorite actresses. I am enjoying listening to these radio programs, and I also enjoy listening to the commercials and that’s really saying a lot😁. Films produced in the 50’s lost my interest. Many things in that time frame started to erode our lifestyles, at a loss for a better word.

Don Ameche was in “The Bickersons”. He played John Bickerson, playing opposite of Francis Langford. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

The movie of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan called you have go Mail was copies from this play.

Isn't this the story that the movie, "You've Got Mail" was based on with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan?

I n that year my mum is 6years old and hiding in the bomb shelter.Don't think it played in England.She would be reading Rupert stories by candle light

You've Got Mail.. nice!

I listen to these shows every night, and it goes into my nightmares
