Network

A wealthy, spoiled woman finds out that she's dying of a brain tumor. The 1939 film of the same name (starring Bette Davis) was reportedly inspired by this broadcast. "The Lux Radio Theatre" then rebroadcast the story on January 8, 1940, which was based on the film (see cat. #3574). Edward Arnold sings, "Rich Man." In a monumental blooper, Melville Ruick ends the program by starting to give an NBC system cue, catching himself and switching to CBS in the midle of the cue.
