Transcript

The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester and yours truly, Don Wilson. Don't try to do a good morning's work without an adequate breakfast.

The dieticians say we need at least one quarter of our entire day's nourishment in the morning, and they also say we need a cereal with whole grain nourishment. And if you include delicious, molly rich grape nuts or crisp toasty brown grape nuts flakes as part of your breakfast, you're giving yourself a real break.

For these tempting sweet-as-a-nut cereals do provide essential whole grain nourishment. You get iron, niacin, vitamin B1, and man-o-man, you get those valuable food essentials in the most tempting way in the world. For grape nuts and grape nuts flakes are downright swell-eating.

So eat a good breakfast and do a better job, and feature delicious nutritious grape nuts or grape nuts flakes. La Homa played by the orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring your armor.

Oh, Don, Don Wilson. Yes. I'm Barbara, Barbara Stanley. Oh, hello, Barbara. Thank you. Say Don, Jack called me about a half hour ago and told me that Mary had learned Jydis and he wanted to know if I'd come down and take her place.

Well, that's awfully nice of you, Barbara. Although, we're very sorry to hear about Mary. By the way, did you see Jack? Yes, he's out in the hall talking to Dennis. I heard Dennis asking him for a raise.

Yes, yes, I know. The kid tried to get a raise last week, but now he's willing to compromise. He only wants half as much. If I know Jack, he's holding out for unconditional surrender. That'll go on for weeks.
