Anthony Adverse - part 1

J.E.L.T.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with paint, no use. Here's something that's most unusual, the sort of thing that doesn't happen often. Back in 1919, Jell-O received a fine letter of praise from Mrs. Ray T. Thorne of New York City. And now 17 years

later we hear from Mrs. Thorne again. She's a real friend of Jell-O. Just listen to what she says. Some 17 years ago I wrote to you telling how much our family enjoyed Jell-O and how Tommy, then seven, had rushed to the kitchen and scrawled Jell-O on the order list. I thought you might be interested to know that we still use only

Jell-O and that the Tommy of my first letter is now a naval aviator but still a Jell-O fan. While he was playing football in college he came home from practice every day to rate the ice box. If he found no Jell-O a whale of huge proportions went up. One night when I had the entire squad for dinner, Tom asked me

to serve Jell-O and the training coach heartily approved. So I want to thank you for giving me during 30 years of housekeeping a simple wholesome delightful gelatin dessert. No other compares with Jell-O. That's fine, Mrs. Thorne.

Your letter means a lot to us. Many, many thanks for sending it. There aren't many products that can boast such loyalty as yours. And here's wishing you and your aviator's son all the luck in the world.

And now we bring to you the man who returned to the air last Sunday with a deluge of merriment, a gale of laughter, and a worried look, Jack Benny. Me worried. Well, you know again, folks, is Jack Benny, who wasn't a bit more nervous last Sunday than he is right now. Oh, no. Well, it was the first time that I ever saw you so
