Transcript

The Great Nuts Flakes program starring Orson Welles, who's pinch-hitting for Jack Benny, with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. What was this for a pretty good little motto I saw in the tailor shop the other day?

A man is not completely well-dressed unless he wears a smile. Pretty good philosophy, huh? And ladies, wouldn't you like to see your husband leave for work every morning with the same completely well-dressed look a smile?

Well, the right kind of breakfast is certainly a great little starter offer, and I can't think of a man or boy who doesn't like crisp, toasty brown, grape nut flakes. And I can't think of a better break for you ladies than this easy-to-fix, nourishing breakfast cereal.

There's a teasing, pleasing zest-weeding grape nut flakes. With that molly-rich, sweet-as-a-nut flavor, your favorite grape nut flavor in toasty-brown flake form, and Grape Nuts flakes are a whole grain cereal you know, so they bring you grand all around nourishment. Better make it Grape Nuts flakes at breakfast tomorrow ladies, and remember Grape Nuts flakes are not gracious. That was something for the boys played by the

orchestra, and now ladies and gentlemen, we would like to turn the clock back to yesterday morning and show you what happened when our whole gang visited Orson Wells at his motion picture studio where he is writing acting directing producing and enjoying his new picture.

Mary had just returned from the East the night before so Phil and Dennis stopped by her house to give her a lift. Will you please stay on the outside driver? We have to make a turn up here.
