The Jack Benny program. Find tobacco is what counts in the cigarette. And LSMFT, Lucky Strike, means Find Tobacco. Yes, LSMFT, Lucky Strike, means Find Tobacco. And in the cigarette, it's the tobacco that counts. Year after year, adoption after auction, independent tobacco experts, men who spend their lives buying, selling and handling tobacco, can see the makers of Lucky Strike consistently select and buy that fine, that light, that naturally mild tobacco.
Fine, light, naturally mild tobacco. Real Lucky Strike Tobacco. Fine tobacco that means real deep down smoking enjoyment for you. So smoke that smoke a fine tobacco Lucky Strike. So round, so firm, so fully packed. So free and easy on the draw.
I'm not. Come. The Lucky Strike program starring Jack Benny was Barry Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis Day, yours truly Don Wilson and our guest stars Victor Moore, Peter Lindhanes and Frank Capprock. Okay, well, well.
Hello, Rochester, isn't there any and know Mr. Benny took'mous lives into the movie. Oh, well, when it comes back, will you tell him that, say, Rochester, did you make a cake or something? I smell melted butter.
Oh, that! Well, you see, every time Mr. Benny goes to the movies, I make him a bag of popcorn. Ha ha ha ha. That's ridiculous. Why doesn't he buy it? It's a theater with butter and everything.
It must cost more to make your popcorn at home. Theoretically, yes, but actually no. What do you mean? Well, I make two bags and these cells, one of them is Livingston. Oh, I see. Well, uh, in that way you break even.
Break even? Since the OPA went off, we're showing a profit. But Rochester, don't you take a loss on the kernels that don't pop? Mr. Benny will pop him if he has to take him to a blast furnace.
