Transcript

A great nuts flakes program coming to you from Toronto, Ontario and starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Rochester, yours truly, Don Wilson, and our guest conductor, Alan McIver and his all Canadian orchestra.

Ladies, how often does your husband make with this theme song? I want, but I want, but I want it. Yes, sir, that's a man for you, especially when it's time for breakfast. He wants breakfast there when he wants it.

And does he know what he wants for breakfast? Well, just prime and see. Just hand them a bowl full of delicious, crisp, tempting, molly-rich grape nuts flakes. Then watch what happens. One taste of that grand grape nuts flavor and that I want proud becomes a happy grin.

And that grin will stay on because nourishing grape nuts flakes stick to the ribs. They help keep you going until lunchtime, or they're a whole grain cereal chucking food values. So try old Doc Wilson's recipe for a happy home and serve grape nuts flakes at breakfast.

America's fastest-growing breakfast cereal. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in our broadcasting history, our program this evening originates outside the borders of the United States.

Yes, sir. We're in Toronto, Canada. Canada! Stretching 3,000 miles from Nova Scotia in the east to Vancouver Island in the distant Pacific. It's big, all right. Canada! Famous for its farming, its lumbering, its mining, and its third traffic.

Yep, everything from grizzly bear to skunk. Which brings us to our master of ceremonies, Jack Billy! Oh, Jack! And I had a help mout on that. Oh, hello again, this is Jack Benny, the grizzly bear talking.

I've got too much hair tonic on me to be that other animal, you know? And down, this is sure thrilled, broadcasting from the Dominion of Canada. Look at those uniforms out in the audience. Men from the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Active Army, The Royal Canadian Air Force.
