Transcript

Take, eat, help, help! Ohhhhhhh! The Jello Program, starting Jack Benny with Abe Lyman and his orchestra coming to you from Radio City, New York. The orchestra opens the program with I-Double Dare You. As the change in the Jello Program tonight, it comes to you from New York instead of from Hollywood.

But there's no change in Jello with its six delicious flavors. Jello is always good, wherever you have it. New York or Hollywood, North or South, at home or in a restaurant. You can count on jello to be tops in goodness every time.

For jello brings you that special extra-rich fruit flavor. A flavor is delicious as the fresh, ripe fruit itself. That's why jello tastes so grand. All six flavors are tempting and refreshing. All six colors are bright and gay.

Just be sure to get genuine jello when you buy. Look for the big red letters on the box. Basefellow jello. That was I double dare you played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, We bring you a man who traveled all the way from California to New York.

But gypsy of the airwaves, Jack Benny! Thank you, thank you very much Harry. Till again, this is Jack Benny, your little nomad talking. And Harry Bonzell, I want to tell you right now how much I appreciate you helping me out tonight.

It's a grand gesture. Oh, well, don't mention it, Jack. I only hope I'll be able to fill down Wilson's shoes. What is that? I said I hope I can fill down Wilson's shoes. Oh, you can, Harry, but don't ever get into his pants without a compass.

You should see that guy. Oh, but, well, tell me, Jack, what kind of a trip did you have in New York? Did you fly in? No, Harry. I took one of those new streamlined trains and believed me they are classy.
