Jakey L.L.O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with I'm Building a Palace for Alice in Dallas. Scarcely a day passes, ladies and gentlemen, that doesn't bring us dozens of letters full of praise for Jell-O.
Some of these letters tell us how much children love Jell-O's gay color and delightful goodness. Others report on you and especially tempting desserts that can be made with jello. And still other letters applaud the fact that jello is so easy to make, set so quickly and dissolved in lukewarm water.
Put all these letters together and you get a picture of a dessert that just can't be beat. A dessert full of rich tangy flavor, as refreshing as the juicy ripe fruit itself. And a dessert that takes only a few minutes to make, a few pennies to buy.
Water it tomorrow. In any or all of jello's six delicious flavors, Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. Incidentally, if you think strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, jello, taste even better than ever, you're right. Because they now have a new improved flavor, obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially enhanced.
Start to enjoy jello right away, friends. Ask your grocer for this grand dessert tomorrow and make up a rich luscious mold of shimmering jello. It was, I'm building a palace for Alice in Dallas, played by the orchestra.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, as there are only five more weeks left in the current General Series, at this time I would like to pay tribute to a man who, for the past 30 weeks, has brought joy and happiness into millions of American holy.
