J.T.E.L.D. Oooooooh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Fennie with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with Rainbow Round the Moon. This is the time of the year when it's fun to get the fireplace going, set up a card table, and have Sunday night supper by the fire.
And here's a simple attractive menu. Toasted sandwiches with hot coffee and a delicious jello salad. You can make your salad ahead of time and serve it when you're ready. And there are dozens to choose from.
Shimmering lemon jello generously filled with diced chicken. Refreshing orange jello combined with crisp carrots and celery. Attempting green mold of lime jello with sliced canned pineapple inside. Whatever jello salad you choose will be a hit with the family.
For jello combined perfectly with fruits or vegetables, chicken or seafood. and gives you grand-looking, grand-tasting salads. Just be sure to get genuine jello when you buy, for jello brings you that wonderful, extra-rich fruit flavor that can't be topped for salads or desserts.
So look for the big red ladders on the box. They spell jello. Around the moon's laid by Phil Harris and his orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, tonight we take you to Jack Benny's new home in Beverly Hills, where he's throwing a Halloween party for his whole gang.

Yes, sir. I'm no million now. And stop that crooning, will you? You're no Bing Crosby, you know. That's right, he's fair than I am. Yeah. Yes, slightly. And look, Rochester, look how thick you're cutting those sandwiches.
