Transcript

Hey, E, tell them! Oh! The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with Who Put That Moon in the Sky. It's grand to go to market these days when fresh fruits and vegetables are so plentiful and so reasonable.

And it's even grander to bring them home and serve them in tempting combinations with Jello. For jello makes such appealing desserts either plain or with the addition of fresh fruit. And jello makes such coon-tepting salads too.

Since summertime is salad time, here are a few salads that you can make with jello. Fresh peas, carrots, and cauliflower in a mold of shimmering lemon jello served on crisp lettuce. Treaded cabbage, thin cucumber slices, and celery molded into lime jello is another swell vegetable combination.

Melon boughs and orange slices in orange jello makes a glorious fruit salad. Why even those few people who say they don't like salads change their tune when your salad is made with jello. Jello is such a help with hot weather menus that you'll want to call on it often for desserts and salads.

But whether you serve jello for dessert or salad always be sure you get the real thing. Genuine Jello. Now, ladies and gentlemen, for his final voyage of the season, we bring you that worn-out captain of the Good Ship Jell-Oll, Jack Benny.

Ah, Jell-Oll, yeah, and this is your old skipper steaming into part. Chug, chug. Well, down is our last broadcast, the last time this season we'll be together. Kind of sad, isn't it? Yes, Jack, it is.

Yep. And when you said I was worn-out, you hit it. I tell you, Don, I'm so exhausted from the strain of broadcasting. Well, I can hardly stand up. Well, you look all right, Jack. You seem to be standing there very firm and erect.
