In this delightful episode of the Lux Radio Theatre, the charming Jeanette MacDonald stars as Irene O’Dare, a young shop girl from New York with dreams of a brighter future. Adapted from the Broadway hit, “Irene” follows the journey of a simple department store assistant whose life changes when she’s introduced to high society. Thanks to a chance encounter with a wealthy customer, Irene is swept into a whirlwind of glamour and opportunity, posing as a famous Irish singer to boost a budding dressmaker’s business.
 
Throughout the story, Irene is torn between her humble beginnings and the dazzling world she’s thrust into. Will she remain true to herself or be swept away by the allure of fame and fortune?
 
Jeanette MacDonald’s stunning vocal performances add an enchanting quality to the episode, and Regis Toomey provides a perfect counterpart as her love interest, Donald Marshall. The episode also features D.W. Griffith, the legendary film director, in an engaging interview, while the talented Cecil B. DeMille hosts this captivating production.
