Lux Radio Theatre Errors Page 3
d. 45-08-27 Practically Yours episode 491 when opened always seems to be "The Enchanted Cottage" episode 492
e. 51-10-29 I'd Climb the Highest Mountain episode 763 when opened is usually "Top O' The Morning" episode 783
Lux "The Jazz Singer" was done twice but 1936-08-10, #93 is supposed
to be unavailable. It stars Al Jolson but likely NOT Gail Patrick.
Often you find #575, 1947-06-02 which stars Al Jolson &
Gail Patrick wrongly labeled as #93.
If the producer is William Keighly it is just a wrongly labeled copy
of #575. It must have as producer Cecil B. Demille to be #93.
Lux Radio Theater 1936-02-24, #69, Peter Pan with Freddy Bartholomew
is supposed to be unavailable. If you find one and it stars Bobby
Driscol, it a wrongly labeled copy of "PETER PAN" #861, 1953-12-21.
LUX 1936-03-02, #70, "Alias The Deacon" is supposed to be un
available.It must have Victor Moore to be right. Often you find one
labeled as #70 but it stars Bob Burns which means it actually is
#270 400701
DARK VICTORY #170 380404 is available but MUST star Barbara
Stanwyck, Melvyn Douglas
GUEST PRODUCER: Edward Arnold Announcer Melvile Ruic mistakenly
names the network "NBC" at the end, then corrects himself.
DARK VICTORY #245 400108 is available but MUST star Bette Davis,
Spencer Tracy. I often find copies of #245 mislabeled as #170.
LUX 511203, #768 "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN" is available and stars Frank
Lovejoy, Ray Milland and Ruth Roman
Lux 540412, #877 "STRANGERS ON A TRAIN" is also available but I have
yet to find it.
It MUST star Dana Andrews, Robert Cummings and Virginia Mayo. I
often find copies of #768 mislabeled as #877.
Lux "A STAR IS BORN" was done twice and both programs are available
but I often find them mislabeled.
Lux #141, 370913 must have Robert Montgomery, Janet Gaynor, Lional
Stander, Mae Robson and Lou Merrill.
#377, 421228 must have Judy Garland and Walter Pidgeon
Lux "All About Eve" was done twice and both these programs are
available. However, collections often have them mislabeled.
Lux #759 (1951-10-01) "All About Eve" must have stars Bette Davis,
Gary Merrill and the next weeks program announced must
be "Borderline".
Lux #899 All About Eve (1954-11-23) stars Anne Baxter, Claire
Trevor, Don Randolph and William Conrad.
"Dodsworth" was done twice in 1937 and both of them star Walter
Huston.
Lux #128, 1937-04-12, "Dodsworth" is supposed to be unavailable but
I often find copies of #144 labeled as #128.
Lux #144, 1937-10-04 "Dodsworth" is available. It stars Walter
Huston, Nan Sunderland, BarbaraO'Neil, Pedro De Cordoba.
The trick to check your program is to listen near the end when they
announce the program for the next week --- if it is "STELLA DALLAS"
you have a copy of #144, 1937-10-04 "Dodsworth".
Lux "Merton of the Movies" was done twice, and both of them star
Mickey Rooney. but #664, the June 20, 1949 version is supposed to be
unavailable.
Available: "MERTON OF THE MOVIES" #326, 1941-11-17 with Mickey
Rooney and Judy Garland.
Unavailable: "MERTON OF THE MOVIES" #664, 06-20-49 with Mickey
Rooney, and Arlene Dahl. If your copy has Judy Garland, it is #326.
