She Loves Me Not: A Chorus Girl, a Crooner, and a College Cover-Up
from Lux Redux: Hollywood's Timeless Theater
In this madcap Lux Radio Theater romp, "She Loves Me Not: A Chorus Girl, a Crooner, and a College Cover-Up", Bing Crosby stars as Paul Lawton, a college student and aspiring songwriter whose quiet campus life is turned upside down when a glamorous nightclub singer on the run seeks refuge in his dorm room. Joan Blondell dazzles as Curly Flagg, the fast-talking chorus girl hiding out from the cops—and from the gangster who wants her silenced. With the help of his loyal roommate Buzz (played by Sterling Holloway), Paul disguises Curly as a male student, setting off a chain of hilarious misadventures involving mistaken identities, secret crushes, scandalized faculty, and a surprise shot at movie stardom. Nan Gray brings heart to the role of Midge, the dean's daughter, whose unexpected romance with Paul adds depth to this whirlwind comedy. Complete with original musical performances by Bing Crosby, rapid-fire humor, and a strong supporting cast, this adaptation of the 1934 film is a charming blend of screwball comedy and romantic chaos from radio’s golden age. Cast Members: Bing Crosby, Joan Blondell, Nan Gray, Barbara Weeks, Sterling Holloway, William Frawley, Frank Nelson, Ross Forrester, Cy Kendall, Lou Merrill, Grace Kern, Justina Wayne, Marion Dennis, Cecil B. DeMille, Louis Silvers Special Guests: Molly Merrick, Euna McClelland (USC), Jimmy Starr, Howard Greer
