Jay E. F. Help! Ooooooooh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris, this orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with life begins at Sweet 16 from scandals. On one of our recent programs we said the Jell-O was delicious served perfectly plain.
Well it seems that one of our listeners objected to that, or she wrote in and said, there's no such thing as plain Jell-O. The shimmering mold of jello and any one of those six beautiful colors just simply can't be plain.
Well, of course, she's right about that, but what we meant was this. You don't have to add anything to jello to make it delicious. You can serve it without any special dressing up and you'll have a grand dessert every time.
For jello brings you delicious extra-rich fruit flavor that rivals the flavor of the fresh ripe fruit itself. But whether you serve jello plain or with fruits, nuts, or whipped cream, You'll always find it makes a grand dessert, so insist on genuine jello.
Don't accept any substitutes. For there's only one jello, and only jello brings you that special extra-rich flavor. Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jello. That was Life Begins at Sweet 16 from Scandals.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that all-around swell guy. A man I'm proud to call my friend, one of the sweetest fellows that I've ever been associated with, Jack Benny. Now, well, you know again, this is sugar Benny talking.
And Don, tell me what happened, my goodness, what's come over you? Oh, nothing, Jack, but after three years of working together so harmoniously, I feel that you deserve such a tribute from me. Oh, I see, Don, it took you three years to get that old feeling.
