New Year's show - The new tenant

The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program starring Jack Vellie with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. Now, speaking of New Year's resolutions, here's a poem for you friends to listen.

When the years at the morn, resolutions fine are born. When the year is old and gray, resolutions? Where are they? I have the answer here to a season full of cheer. Just resolve to start each day happy, carefree, life and gay.

And you know folks, all it takes to start the day is Grape Nuts Flakes. That's the answer all right. Eat a good breakfast, do a better job. Because you need an adequate breakfast after a fast of 10 or 12 hours the night before.

In fact, dietitian tells us that morning is the time we should get at least one quarter of our entire day's nourishment. Yes, breakfast is the stoke-up meal. And Grape Nuts Flakes are certainly a swell tasting stoke-up food.

They're a whole grain cereal, crammed full of all-around whole grain nourishment. So for 1944, let's all resolve to eat a good breakfast, do a better job. And let crisp, toasty brown, grape nuts flakes help make it easy for you.

Ladies and gentlemen, since this is the start of a new year, we bring you a man who at the age of 20, began his phenomenal career in show business.

That's right. At 30, he was a credit to his profession. Yes, sir. At 40 he was admired and respected by a million. That's me. At 50 his name became a household word. Fifty. At 60 he became...

All right, stop! That's enough already. For heaven's sake. And here he is, Jack Benny. Thank you, thank you. Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking. And Don, it's a good thing I stopped you right, I've died of old age before the show started.
