J.T.O.L.L.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with High Hole from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Here's a man who wants us to settle an argument for him.
He's Mr. O. Beck of South Perry Street, Chicago. Mr. Beck writes, one person claims there are two Jell-Os. Another tells me there's only one Jell-O, which is right. Well, Mr. Beck, that's one argument which is easily settled.
There is only one Jello. The name Jello is a trademark, the property of general foods. If you hear any other Jello-ton dessert called Jello, you'll know that that is incorrect. Well, there is no other Jello.
That's why we always urge you to ask for Jello by name, whenever and whenever you buy it and order it. Whether it's from your grocer or in a restaurant. And here's something you'll want to know.
Restaurants serving real Jell-O can now display an autograph picture of Jack Benny. So look for his picture as your assurance that they serve genuine Jell-O. And remember, to enjoy Jell-O's extra-rich fruit flavor, Jell-O's delicious, true fruit goodness, always insist by name on the one and only genuine Jell-O.
That was high-hole played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a little surprise for you.
Jack wired us that owing to a slight delay on the train, you'll be just a few minutes late. So in the meantime, while we're waiting for Jack, I'll turn the microphone over to his good friend and pinch hitter, Georgie Jessel.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Hello again. This is Georgie Jessel to stand in talking. And I want to tell you folks, I'm very happy to be here tonight for two reasons. First, it's an honor and a pleasure to help Jack out.
