The general program coming to you from the Civic Auditorium in Oakland, California for the benefit of President Roosevelt's infantile paralysis fund the march of dimes. The orchestra opens a program with Billy. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you something now that I think is mighty important and this is it.
Into every single package of Jell-O goes one ingredient that can't be weighed or measured. the persistence and never-ending desire for perfection. This is the ideal by which the makers of Jello have steadily progressed toward a more perfect product, the strict standard to which they've been unfailingly devoted.
As a result, constant improvements have been made in the rich tempting taste of Jello's six delicious flavors, and the rare glowing beauty of Jello's six lovely colors. To make the good better and to make the better best has been Jello's everlasting aim, and Perhaps that explains why every day more and more people enjoyed Jell-O's luscious thrilling goodness.
Yes, sir, that's why today's Jell-O, so rich and radiant, so truly satisfying, is more than ever America's most popular gelatin dessert. As Billy played by the orchestra, now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you our master of ceremonies.
A man who was so anxious to appear at this benefit tonight that he drove all the way from Los Angeles to Oakland in his 1923 Maxwell. Boy am I stiff. A man who braved the elements unflinching and courageous and made this hazardous journey through wind, rain and storm.
Oh, Donsey. Here he is, folks, that fearless adventurer, that unsung hero of the Jell-O program, Jack Benny. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Jell-O again, this is Jag Beni talking, and Don, when you said I've braved the elements to get here, no truer words were ever spoken.
