Transcript

Do you know the reason why jello today tastes richer, more thrillingly good than it ever has before? Well, it's all because of jello's wonderful new process that locks in jello's grand and glorious flavor. Yes, today jello gives you more of the richness that for over 40 years has made jello America's favorite gelatin dessert.

Because now this richness is locked right into the tiny jello particles to bring you extra enjoyment. Try all of jello's six delicious flavors. Rosie Pink Strawberry, Crimson Raspberry, Ruby Red Cherry, Golden Orange, Sun-Elamin' and Emerald Green Lime.

All of these tempting jello flavors offer you bright, brilliant beauty and flavor that makes you think of the juicy ripe fruit itself. Flavor that is locked in for your added pleasure. To prove how swell jello's locked in flavor really is, open a package of jello.

Notice that there's no telltale aroma, no sign of escaping fragrance and flavor. Then dissolve the tiny jello particles and notice how jello's captive goodness comes pouring out in a rush of richness. Get jello tomorrow in all six delicious flavors and thrill to the marvelous new delight of jello's locked in flavor.

Beat sin played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we turn back the clock and take you to the drugstore across the street from the NBC building here in Hollywood. The time is exactly 15 minutes before this broadcast.

Take it away, drugstore. Hurry up and order your sandwich, will you, Mary? We'll be on the air in a few minutes. A sandwich. I'm a growing girl. I want meat and potatoes. All right. Order a meat sandwich.

And the potato chips here are very crispy. Every Sunday we have to eat in a drugstore. Why don't you take me to the brown derby once in a while? Mary, I'm not going into the brown derby until they hang my picture in the main dining room with the rest of the big movie stars.
