Transcript

The Jell-O program coming to you from the stage of the Ritz Theatre in New York City starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Ojio Gasho-Golly, I'm in Love.

When you come to the end of the perfect day there's certainly a grand feeling of peace and contentment about it. And that same feeling of contentment applies to the end of a perfect meal. That is, if you find a bright dish of shimmering jello there to greet you. Jello, ladies and gentlemen, is really the ideal way to end the meal. It serves as a fitting

climax to everything that has gone before, and it leaves you with a mellow mood of true satisfaction. Because jello is a swell-looking, swell-tasting dessert, gay with glorious colors and rich with a tangy goodness as refreshing as the ripe fruit itself.

So make your next meal a bang up success by serving jello and any one of its six delicious flavors. Incidentally friends, this is National Restaurant Week and I hope a great many of you will take the occasion to drop in at your favorite restaurant where you'll always find jello, one of the most popular desserts in the menu.

Be sure to ask for the jello flavor you like best. Oh, G.O. Gasho Golly, I'm in love, played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that tonight marks the ninth radio

anniversary of our Master of Ceremonies. So without further ado, we bring you a man who for nine long years in the field of radio has worked, slaved, worried, and looks it, Jack Benny. Jack Benny, wait what he used to be talking, and Don, despite your left hand in the throat, Thank you.
