Transcript

The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Till Harris, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. Friends, I have a little poem here for you tonight and it goes something like this.

A perk little welder named Susie found by 10, she felt washed out and woozy. Now a good breakfast she takes with crisp Grape Nuts Flakes. And at noon, she's still peppy, not snoozy. Well, you can all take a tip from Sue.

Don't try to do a man-sized job on a canary-sized breakfast. After all, your vitality is low in the morning, because you haven't had a thing to eat for 12 long hours. That's why doctors and dieticians say you need at least one quarter of your entire day's nourishment of breakfast.

And dieticians say it should include a cereal with whole grain food values. Well, that's the kind you get with grape nuts flakes, because those tempting toasty brown flakes are packed with energy-giving whole grain nourishment.

Tomorrow, try a big bowl full of grape nuts flakes, pour on the milk, pile on the fruit, man what an elegant dish. So eat a good breakfast, do a better job. You sure enjoy those moldy rich, great nuts flakes.

Ladies and gentlemen... Don, Don, hold up the introduction. Jack isn't here yet.

He isn't, well, where is he? Maybe he followed some babe down by street and forgot to look up when he passed NBC. Come on, I don't be silly. Bill, Jack doesn't follow girls. He doesn't, eh? How do you think he met me?

No, kid, Mary, is that the way you met Jackson? Yeah, but I didn't have to stop for that traffic light. I'd still be working at the May Company. But I'm not sorry, I'm making just as much working for Jack.
