Jakey, help out! Oh! The Jell-O program coming to you from Hollywood, California starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with silver threads among the brass section.
Welcome to spring as colorful as an April rainbow. That's Jell-O. One of the gayest, curious desserts you ever laid eyes on. Jell-O's glowing colors offer a rich invitation you simply can't resist. And when you taste it's intriguing flavor, you're tasting a flavor that's beyond compare when it comes to downright goodness.
The cost Jell-O's grand flavor is just as delightful and refreshing as the juicy ripe fruit itself. Jell-O is one of the easiest desserts to prepare too. It dissolves instantly in lukewarm water, sets as quick as a wink.
So ask your grocer for several packages of Jell-O, choosing any or all of Jell-O's six delicious flavors, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry, Orange, Lemon, or Lime. By the way, next time you try a strawberry, raspberry, or cherry jello, just notice how much better they are than they've ever been before.
Each has a new improved flavor obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially enhanced and the result is something truly distinctive, really swell. Try a rich shimmering mold of jello tomorrow. Section played by the orchestra.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you our master of ceremonies who has just returned from a quick trip to Chicago, Jack Benny! Thank you, thank you. You log in, this is Jack Benny talking, and Don, quick trip is right.
I went to Chicago and back before I knew it. 3600 miles. Oh, that's really traveling. Did you fly a tack or did you go by train? I took the train, Don, and you know, that's the first time I've ever been on the streamliner.
