First show

The Canada Drive, the campaign of ginger ale, presents a series of programs to advertise the new made-to-order Canada Drive, which you can now buy by the glass of drug stores and soda fountain. This series will feature George Olsen and his music, Miss Ethel Chute, the star of many Broadway successes, and that's Walt comedian, Dry Humor and famous master of ceremonies, Jack Benny.

Thank you, Mr. Thargethan. That's pretty good from a man who doesn't even know me. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jack Benny talking and making my first appearance on the air professionally. By that I mean I'm finally getting paid, which of course will be a great relief to my creditors.

I don't know why I'm here, I'm supposed to be a sort of a master of ceremonies and tell you all the things that will happen, which would happen anyway. I must introduce the different artists who could easily introduce themselves and also talk about the Canada Dry, made to order by the glass, which is a waste of time that you know

all about it. You drink it like it and don't want to hear about it. So ladies and gentlemen, a master of ceremonies is really a fellow who is unemployed and gets paid for it. I think you will like the entertainment arrange for tonight. I hope, of course, I haven't seen any of the program myself, but I've spoken to the artist individually. They seem to think

it's awfully good the first number will be a selection by george oldson and his orchestra i think that uh... being our first program together it is no more than fair that i have you meet mister oldson personally he's really a very charming fellow in one of the few directors who comes to and from his work on roller skate
