Transcript

J.C. South Health. Ooooooooh! The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Dand yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with Good Morning from Babes in Arms. Have you people got what I call a second helping family?

A bunch of real he-man-eaters who always come back from war? Well, if you have, Jello is one mighty fine answer. Well, with Jello, you can always have plenty. First, because jello is amazingly inexpensive. It costs only a few cents a package and one package serves the average family generously.

And second, jello is so quick and easy to prepare there's practically nothing to it. It dissolves instantly and hot water and sets quickly in your refrigerator. And jello makes such swell desserts. It's a brand new hit every time.

All six flavors are crammed with extra rich flavor. That's put into jello by a special process and seal right in so it can't get out. It's a flavor so rich and full, tempting and delicious that it tastes as refreshing as the real ripe fruit.

Just be sure to get genuine jello when you buy. Look for those big red letters on the box. They spell jello. Good morning played by the orchestra. And now ladies and gentlemen, for the third time this season, we bring you our master of ceremonies.

A man who smokes a cigar so short that it finally becomes an inlay, Jack Benny. Thank you. Well again, this is Jack Benny talking and Don, that introduction was so cute and you're so big that I just can't be mad at you.

It was very clever Don, although a bit exaggerated. Well Jack, you do smoke your cigars pretty short. I know Don, but there's a reason for that. It just so happens that the cigars I smoke are very hard to get.
