Transcript

The Jell-O program brought to you by Jell-O and Jell-O putting starring Jack Benny, with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Dandier, is truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with a romantic guy, I. Folks have been showering compliments on Jell-O for years, but today the shower has become a downpour.

Everywhere you go you hear people praising the new Jell-O and its wonderful new locked-in flavor. They say it's richer, more delicious than they've ever believed any dessert could be, and they're right. Because today's jello is different, made better than ever.

Up until now, gelatin desserts constantly faded in flavor while waiting to be used. But jello's marvelous process locks all of Jello's full rich goodness right into the little jello particles. And time can't steal it away. Your first package will prove it.

Open it. Notice that there's no heavy fruitier aroma, no sign of escaping flavor. But the instant you dissolve the jello you unlock its vivid thrilling flavor and out it pours for your pleasure. So order jello J-E-L-L-O tomorrow.

Look for the big red letters on the box and be sure to get jello. The flavor never goes away, we put it in and it's there to stay. A romantic guy I played by the orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, this evening, we would like to reenact for you the events which occurred on our recent trip from New York to Hollywood. As you all know, we did our last show from New York City.

On the following day, the whole jello gang left for the coast. Jack had to check out of his hotel, the swank Hampshire house on Central Park South, saw he said he might be just a little late getting to the stadium.
