Jakey, help, help. Ohhhhhh! 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 my wonderful one, Let's Dance. Here's a brief note on April's styles.

Spring fashions decree that the well-dressed table should wear lots of bright color. And a specially smart, say, experts is a game-old of rich, shimmering Jell-O. Yes, sir, Jell-O is a mighty attractive dessert. It adds to any meal a final touch of distinctive beauty and friendly charm.

Whether you choose strawberry red, lime green, or any other but six brightly colors, you'll be delighted with the way Jello dresses up the table, tempts the appetite, and leaves a feeling of grand refreshment. Jello is a truly delicious treat, outstanding for its full tangy flavor.

Flavor is inviting us fresh, juicy ripe fruit itself. So try some real soon. For rich, exciting goodness, there's nothing to compare with Jell-O, America's favorite gelatin dessert, now better than ever. That was my wonderful one, let's dance, played by the orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, as we announced last week, next Sunday, the Jell-O program will originate from New York City, where Paramount is holding the premiere of its new picture, Buck Benny rides again. So without further ado, we whisk you to Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills, where Jack is in the throes of last-minute packing.

Take it away! Creole babies walk along with rhythm in their thighs, rhythm in their feet and in their lips and in their eyes. Where do high brows find that kind of love that satisfies? Underneath the hall of moon.

I'm getting anxious! Rochester! Come on, boys, join in! Never mind. There's no field of cotton, picking cotton is simple. They don't live in Capac. Rocket! We'll never get to New York the way you're moving.
