Little Red Riding Hood

The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with I double-dairy-a. Although Christmas is six days away, we want to say our Merry Christmas now.

We hope you'll have a swell holiday, lots of fun and plenty of good things to eat. And here's a suggestion for these holiday nights of June when you're also very, very busy. Serve Jell-O for dessert.

It's quick and easy to prepare and it's light and delicious to eat. Just the right dessert for the holiday meals. A glowing mold of colorful jello will tempt every appetite. For jello is so gay and cheerful to look at with colors that match the holiday spirit.

And jello is perfectly grand to taste. It's crammed with extra-rich fruit flavor. A true fruit goodness that simply cannot be topped. Only jello brings you this extra-rich fruit flavor, so don't accept any substitutes. for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O.

That was our double dare you played by Phil Harris and his orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you the only adults in the world who wrote a letter to Santa Claus, Jack Benny.

Thank you. You know, again, it's a Jack Benny talking, and Don, I would never have told you about writing that letter if I thought you were going to publicize it. I only wrote to Santa Claus for sentimental reasons, that's all.

So the mental reasons? Yes, I've been corresponding with him for years and I'm not going to break it off now. I merely asked him where that sled was. He promised me 35 years ago. Oh, but Jack, you're too old for that sort of thing.
