The Jell-O program starring Jack Fennie with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with for no rhyme or reason. You've often heard people say, today was a red letter day for me.

Let me tell you any day can be a red letter day by those big red letters on the Jell-O box. For they spell Jello and Jello spells a treat. That name is your guarantee of grand desserts, because the name Jello is a trademark.

It's the property of general foods. The tells you here is the genuine, the one and only, Jello. If you hear any other gelatin dessert called Jello, you'll know that is incorrect. And that's why we ask you to insist on Jello by name.

What Jello brings you that delicious, extra-rich fruit flavor. wonderful refreshing fruit freshness that just can't be taught. So when you go to your groves or don't accept any substitutes, those big red letters spell red letter desserts, or they spell jello. Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to announce that next week this program will move to the new NBC studios on Sunset

Boulevard in Hollywood. So tonight folks, let us bid adieu to this old room, where for three years every Sunday night you have heard that same old sweet voice saying. Hello again. This is Jack Benny talking.

Thank you. Thank you. Well done. This is our farewell performance under this old roof. Just think after three years of work and worry and fun we got to move. I don't know how you feel about it Don, but see I'm ready to go over in the corner and have a good cry.
