J.D.L.L.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with Cry Baby Cry. This is the day of the Easter parade and there's a cheerful feeling in the air.
Perky new hats, gave flowers, everything reflects the spirit of Carefree Spring. It's a day of color and if you serve Jell-O for your Easter dessert, you were right in the spirit of things. For a shimmering mold of bright, clear jellows might again cheerful.
The glowing rads of strawberry, raspberry, or cherry jello, shiny orange, golden lemon, or sea green lime. You have a regular rainbow to choose from. No matter which flavor you select, you're short of a masterpiece.
For jello tastes as good as it looks. It's crammed with delicious, expert-rich fruit flavor. The flavor from fresh ripe fruit. It's put there by a special process. It's sealed right in so it can't get out.
It's caught in health for you to enjoy the minute you taste the shimmering spoonful. A delight to the eye and a thrill to the taste. That's jello. But be absolutely sure you do get genuine jello with that extra rich fruit flavor.
Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell jello. That was crybaby cry played by the orchestra.
Now ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who is celebrating Easter with a new suit, New shirt, nude tie, and the new shoes that squeak, Jack Benny. Well, again, this is Jack Benny, who was also looking for a new announcer.
And listen, Don, it was nice of you to mention my Easter outfit, but it so happens that my shoes do not squeak. They might chirp a little because they're happy. But they do not squeak.
