Walt Disney on Lux Radio Theater (Dec 20, 1937)

Lux Radio Theater was a classic radio anthology series broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934–35) (owned by the National Broadcasting Company, later predecessor of American Broadcasting Company [ABC] in 1943–1945); CBS Radio network (Columbia Broadcasting System) (1935–54), and NBC Radio (1954–55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays[1] during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s. The primary sponsor of the show was Unilever through its Lux Soap brand. The show reenacted theatrical films as radio plays and was hosted by the legendary film director Cecil B. deMille.

For their Christmas 1937 program, Song of Song, Walt Disney dropped in at the end of the show to plug the world premiere of his new film, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. Snow White would premiere less than 24 hours after this. In this rare clip you can hear Walt list of future films that were years away such as Bambi and Fantasia.
