Jack Benny Program - How Jack Met Mary (1/2)

This is a funny story about how Jack met Mary Livingston at the May Company Department Store where she worked as a saleslady. Mary Livingston was, of course, Jack's real wife but this is a fictitious story about how they met.

I believe that the dark haired sales girl (Peggy) who asks, "Who's Jack Benny," is Bea Benaderet.

A musical performance in which Rochester sang was removed from this episode due to copyright concerns as was the show's closing music which was not the usual closing music.

@AfsAnehAfairytale Thank you Rita. This one seems to be special. It's very hard to find information on it. It's available for sale but detailed information is difficult to find. You have a nice day too :) -Michael

Originally telecast on October 31, 1954. The original opening music was the one that sounds like a "violin exercise warmup" ["Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-d­a-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dahh­hhhhhhhhh! DON WILSON: "THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM'! Presented by Lucky Strike!" {"Be Happy, Go Lucky" theme heard into first commercial, then the current jingle:"If you want better taste from your cigarette/Lucky Strike is the brand to get/It's toasted to give you the best taste yet/It's the toasted...cigarette!!"}.

@fromthesidelines That's good to know. It's too bad I couldn't use some of the other music. Thanks Barry!

@skylur44 So do I! I believe he was an accomplished performer off of Jack's program as well. Like Jack, he had a great sense of timing. -Michael
