Transcript

Take it out, help! Ooooooooh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Sing My Heart. You know, everybody likes to receive a compliment, makes you feel mighty happy.

And we've just received one which pleased us very much indeed. It's from Mrs. George A. Bradley, Garden City, Iowa, and Mrs. Bradley writes, After a long time, I am finally using the real and genuine jello.

Let me tell you, I was amazed at the difference. At first, I thought that fruity goodness was the fruit I myself had added. But when I served jello without any additional fruit, it still had that grand fruit flavor.

Why, I could hardly believe any gelatin dessert could be so good. From now on, I shall always get the real jello. Well, thank you very much, Mrs. Bradley. That's a swell letter. And folks, it's true that Jello does bring you delicious extra-rich fruit flavor.

It's a rich, satisfying, true fruit goodness that makes every Jello dessert a success. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. All six have that extra fruit flavor that simply can't be taught. So be sure to insist on genuine Jello when you buy.

Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jello. Bring my heart played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, Tuesday being Valentine's Day and also Jack Benny's birthday, let us welcome our little Cupid with that old familiar greeting.

Are you ready? Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Well, you know again, this is Jack Benny talking and folks believe me, I am deeply touched. Don, wasn't that lovely the way our audience joined in on that greeting?
