Transcript

Jake D. L. L. O. The Jell-O program coming to you from the Plaza Theater in Palm Springs, California, starring Jack Benny with Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Dain, yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, I'm going to L. Centro with a banjo on my knee.

You know, sometimes I think I can write a whole book about what a grand dessert Jell-O really is. For example, I can devote the entire first chapter of the book to telling you how gay and inviting Jell-O looks With its vivid glowing colors and shimmering beauty.

In Chapter 2 I'd point out how delightfully tender and delicate Jello is, and what a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture it has. Chapter 3 would deal at great length with Jello's glorious flavor. The flavor is distinctive and well-known as its name, and just as refreshing as the juicy ripe fruit itself.

Then in Chapter 4 I'd explain how quick and easy Jello is to serve, and how it sells for only a few pennies for packing. Oh yes, in Chapter Five, I'd remind everybody to be sure to try Strawberry, Raspberry, and Cherry Jell-O. Each has a new improved flavor obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially

enhanced, and as a result, they're better than ever. Try attempting dessert made with rich, delicious Jell-O tomorrow. Jane L. Central, with a banjo on my knees, played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our second broadcast from Palm Springs, we're going to show you how Jack

and all of us have been enjoying our vacation here on the desert. As you remember last week, Jack was living quite a little distance from Palm Springs at a place called the TP Motel. But a few days ago, he rented a house here in town with a swimming pool.
