Steals A Girl From Phil Harris

The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with It Serves Your Rights! You know, when you have enough curiosity, you can make some interesting discoveries.

And here's a woman who did just that. She wanted to know how much Jell-O her family eats. And she found out! She is Mrs. Homer E. Pool, 13th Street, Riverside, California. Here's what she writes.

I keep the front panels with the big red letters from the Jello packages. I started saving them to see how much Jello our family of four would eat in a year. Every time we had Jello for dessert, we saved the front panel and dropped it in a box.

At the end of the year, we were all anxious to find out how many packages we had used. There are so many lovely desserts you can make with those six delicious flavors. And when we opened the box, we found we had used 161 packages of Jello.

Well, this is fool. They say that figures always tell the truth. And those figures certainly tell the truth about Jell-O. They prove how delicious Jell-O tastes. With that wonderful, extra-rich fruit flavor that keeps the family coming back for more.

No matter how often you serve Jell-O, it's always a brand and you treat. So look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the political excitement being over, we bring you that prominent citizen of Beverly Hills who was just elected dog catcher, Jack Benny.

Well, again, this is the honorable Jack Benny talking. And, Don, that was awfully nice of you, but I wish you hadn't mentioned anything about my latest triumph. I'm trying very hard to forget it. As with Jack, I just can't figure out how fellow-like you would accept such a job as dog catcher.
