Jakey Alpow! Ooooooooh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with Shall We Dance.

Japan and China. You know, I've always wanted to see rice without old shoes. I mean, that'll be a lovely trip, Jack, and you can make it in about eight or ten weeks. Yes, yes. Say Don, how much would a trip like that cause?
