Transcript

Texas, East, L, L, O. The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny was Johnnie Green in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with, It's No Fun. Over the country today, lovely ladies have been parading their latest spring finery.

It's one of the highlights of Easter. This is a play of new fashions that's brilliant array of colors, but in all their springtime brightness, the colors of Easter cannot surpass the glowing colors of Jell-O.

However, jello is much more than just a gay good-looking dessert. It's a downright delicious one as well. It was always delightful, but nowadays jello tastes twice as good as ever before. That real fruit flavor is put there by a modern secret process and sealed right in so that it can't get out.

That's why every one of jello's six grand flavors has the keen refreshing goodness of fresh-fried fruits. No other gelatin dessert can equal Jell-O's extra-rich fruit flavor. So accept no substitute. Always ask for Jell-O by name.

Always insist on the one and only genuine Jell-O. Now we bring to you from Cleveland the pride of Walk Egan, the idol of California. Ohio's favorite son, Jack Benny of New York.

Thank you. Well, well, you know again, this is Jack Benny coming to you from all over the country. Listen, Don, as long as we're here in Cleveland, why did you let on that I come from New York?

Well, don't you? Yes, Don, but I had a swell gag all worked out about Cleveland. You're nearly spoiling. Oh, I'm sorry, Jack. Look, Don, now look, there's a famous street here called Euclid Avenue, and it's known all over the country.
