They detailed out all. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with run, rabbit run. And our folks, here's our little geometry problem for the day.

What is the best way to round out a square meal? Well, the answer is easy. Simply serve a delicious top-notch Jell-O dessert, and that solves the whole thing in a jiffy. For example, you might try attempting mold of bright red cherry jello with some juicy sliced peaches or other fruit suspended in its clear glowing depths.

Now, there's a feast for the eyes and a real swell treat for the taste, a masterpiece of radiant color, and downright perfection when it comes to rich tangy flavor. Yes, sir, jello's delightful goodness has all the appetizing appeal of the ripe fruit itself, just the way you like it.

So try some tomorrow. You're all set for a generous helping of rare enjoyment. When you ask your grocer for Jell-O, America's favorite gelatin dessert, now better than ever. That was Run Rabbit Run, played by the orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen... Just a second, Don. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Tonight, I'm going to introduce you. What's the idea, Jack? You'll find out. And now, ladies and gentlemen, as is my annual custom, I bring you a man who today is celebrating his 17th anniversary in radio.

a man whose genial personality and more than generous physique are known to all of you. A man I am proud to call my friends. That giggle-britches of the Jell-O program, Don Wilson. Oh, you hear that Don? Yes, thank you Jack. It was darn sweet of you to salute me with that lovely tribute, but I really don't deserve it. Oh yes you do Don, yes you do.
