The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with life begins when you're in love. Here's a letter from Alberta, Canada, written by a young wife who asks me not to mention her name, but who gives me full permission to read you this experience of hers.
My husband came home the other day with a gelatin dessert not manufactured by the Jell-O Company. Being a beautiful wife, I'm mumbling something about having just purchased three packages of jello and let the matter drop.
But I knew that this was my opportunity to prove that I know food values and quality in purchasing. So I made the gelatin dessert my husband had brought home, and I also made jello. Jello gave me a more richly flavored firmer dessert that sat in half the time.
And now friend husband is thoroughly convinced that I know my business. Well, we're grateful to you, young lady, for sending us that letter. It bears out what I have so often said, that jellows' fine fresh fruit flavor is tops and tastes.
No other gelatin dessert can equal the famous extra-rich fruit flavor of genuine jello. But remember, there is only one jello. So always be sure to ask for it by name. Look for the big red letters on the box.
They spell jello. That was life begins when you were in love played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that violinist with the accent on vile Jack Benny. That was very funny, Don.
Very humorous. Evidently, you've been listening to Fred Allen again. Oh, yes, yes, I have, Jack. Did you hear him last Wednesday? Yes, Don, but only with my ears. My heart wasn't in it. Any man that can stand before a microphone and say that I can't play a violin just isn't normal.
