Transcript

The Geloe program starring Jack Denny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with daydreams from the picture Goldiggers in Paris. Some of these lovely warm spring days, don't you feel like forgetting everything and just getting out into the open for a long carefree day, but there are meals and you're afraid

you haven't the time. Well here's a tip. Jello will help you give you that time, or Jello is delightfully quick and easy to prepare. It dissolves instantly in hot water, it sets quickly, and you can just tuck it in your refrigerator and when you're ready, there it is a treat for any meal. And Jello is a treat served in any of a dozen different ways. Perfectly

plain in a colorful shimmering mold. Garnished with rosettes of whipped cream, dressed up with fresh ripe strawberries. Jell-O brings you that delicious, extra-rich fruit flavor. So get some from your grocer. And tonight we want to salute your grocer and retail grocers everywhere.

They're holding an national rally day on May 10th, and we want to extend our best wishes. And when you grow to your grocer tomorrow, be sure to order Jell-O. That was Daydreams played by the orchestra.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, this being Mother's Day, we bring you the mother of the Jell-O program, Jack Benny. Well, again, this is Mrs. Benny talking. And Don, that introduction may have been spoken in jest, but there's an element of truth in it, just the same.

Well, Jack, I thought it was very up-propos. You are sort of a mother to the gang here. We honor and respect you, and you're the first one we come to when we need money. That's right, Don.
