Boring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day Rochester and yours truly, Don Wilson. You know friends, one of those Oscars, if it was given to a breakfast cereal, you can just see that Oscar zooming to a delicious, moldy-rich grape nuts flake.
For when it comes to America's fastest-growing breakfast cereal, the verdict you hear is unanimous. Grape nuts flakes really taste swell. Yes, whether you're breakfast fussy or whether you're just plain breakfast hungry, You'll say that Grape Nuts Flakes satisfy.
They have such a grand, multi-richness, such a glorious, crisp, tempting goodness. They bring you the flavor of Grape Nuts, an exciting, toasted, flake form, and Grape Nuts Flakes bring you health-building, whole-grain nourishment, including Proteans, minerals, and vitamins.
So help yourself to help at breakfast. Help yourself to sweet as a nut, luscious Grape Nuts Flakes in the big 12-ounce economy-sized package. You don't give up a single precious racing stamp to buy a great nut plate.
Gee, but it's fun, played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, our dear old master of ceremonies, Jack Benny, lost $50 recently on Rochester's horse, Burt Cork.
That's right, they pulled the Kentucky Derby right down over my ears. You always wear a Derby that way. Quiet. Ever since this disastrous experience, Mr. Benny has been trying and trying to forget, but to no avail.
What do you mean in all of you? I've forgotten the whole thing. When I lose money, that's the end of it. Go on, you lost your piggy bank when you were just a little baby and you're still running ads in the Waukegan paper.
What ads? Lost. One piggy bank on Genesee Street. Finder may keep bank, but owner has sentimental attachments and content. I'm married. Please return to Jackie Benny, age 45, Hollywood, California. That you made up. Go on.
