Transcript

Stay, keep, out, out. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Johnny Green in his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with you from the motion picture of the great big bell. I want to thank you folks again for all your friendly interest in this program.

You're certainly showing your appreciation in the most practical of all ways by going out and buying Jell-O. Not only that, you've written us hundreds of nice letters, which we surely do appreciate. I have one right here for Mrs. Charles Bonner of Hammond, Indiana.

Mrs. Bonner says, just a matter of days about Jell-O. I'm a constant user of Jell-O, but recently I decided to use a cheaper brand. I found out that it was cheaper, but not in cost.

There was no flavor to it at all. The color was very dull looking. No more substitutes for me. From now on, I'll stick to Jell-O. Thank you, Mrs. Bonner. You're absolutely right that there is no substitute for the warm and only genuine Jell-O.

No other gelatin dessert has Jell-O's extra-rate real fruit flavor. But when you buy, always insist on jello. Start off the spring season by bringing you that flowery speaker.

That gilded lily, that budding genius Jack Betty. You know, again, yes, folks, spring is here. And down that introduction you gave me was, well, you know, so typically me. Well, I'm glad you liked it, Jack. I made it up out of my own head.

Well, I liked it anyway. You know, effectively those springy things you call me. You know, flowery speaker, budding genius. You know anymore? How about blooming idiots? LAUGHTER Well, that's, uh, oh, I don't know. I just can't get angry this time of year.
