Jakey, out of all! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with Down in the Alley and Over the Fence.
We're going to notice how a fine chef will dress up his dishes with a little fancy touch here and there. Well, that isn't wasted effort by a long shot. For a delicious tasting dish should look delicious too in order to wet your appetite.
And believe me, that's where Jell-O really rates. Ojella looks so tempting, it makes you hungry just to see it. All six glowing colors lend a striking note of charmed 20 meals. There's rose pink raspberry and deep crimson strawberries.
Bright red cherry and vivid orange, clear golden lemon and sea green lime. All six shimmering with tempting beauty and all six crammed with extra rich flavor. A flavor is refreshing as the juicy ripe fruit itself.
A flavor that always says more. And so as soon as you can, let's say tomorrow, Ask your grocer for Jell-O America's favorite gelatin dessert. Look for those big red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O and Jell-O spells a treat.
That was down in the alley and over the pits played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who officially opened the Christmas season last week by leading the Santa Claus Lane parade down Hollywood Boulevard, Jack Benny.
Thank you, Michael. Jell-O again, this is Jack Benny talking. And Don, I'm glad you brought that up. That procession was really a spectacle. Wallace Berry was in it, Buck Jones, Tom Hicks, Gene Autry, Jack Benny.
