 J-E-L-L-O. The Jell-O program coming to you from the Plaza Theater in Palm Springs, California, starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Dane, yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, I'm going to L Central with a banjo on my knee. You know, sometimes I think I could write a whole book about what a grand dessert Jell-O really is. For example, I could devote the entire first chapter of the book to telling you how gay and inviting Jell-O looks with its vivid glowing colors and shimmering beauty. In chapter two, I'd point out how delightfully tender and delicate Jell-O is and what a smooth melt in the mouth texture it has. Chapter three would deal at great length with Jell-O's glorious flavor. The flavor is distinctive and well-known as its name and just as refreshing as the juicy ripe fruit itself. Then in chapter four, I'd explain how quick and easy Jell-O is to serve and how it sells for only a few pennies per package. And oh yes, in chapter five, I'd remind everybody to be sure to try strawberry, raspberry, and cherry Jell-O. Each has a new improved flavor obtained by using a natural flavor base artificially enhanced. And as a result, they're better than ever. Try a tempting dessert made with rich, delicious Jell-O tomorrow. Our second broadcast from Palm Springs we're going to show you how Jack and all of us have been enjoying our vacation here on the desert. As you remember last week, Jack was living quite a little distance from Palm Springs at a place called the TP Motel. But a few days ago, he rented a house here in town with a swimming pool. Yeah, with a... Dennis, don't interrupt. Go ahead, Don. Anyway, last Thursday, Jack invited us all over to his pool for a swim. It was a beautiful sunny day and Jack told us to get there early so we'd have a full day outdoors. Rochester, the gang will be over pretty soon, so I think I'll take my swimming lesson before they get here. Okay. Now watch this, Rochester. I'm going to swim clear across the pool. Clear across, it's only six feet. It's too bad, I'm sorry I haven't got the Atlantic Ocean here. Now keep your eye on me and tell me when I do anything wrong. But boss, I don't know anything about swimming. I gave you an instruction book last night. Why didn't you read it? I was working on that Navajo rug for your father. You're supposed to weave in the daytime. Now here I go across the pool, Rochester. Have you got the gun? Right here, boss. Well, start me off. Okay. On your mark. Get set. I swam clear across the pool. How was that, Rochester? Fine. Nothing doing, this is the deep end. Oh well, I've had enough swimming for a while. Ain't you going to take your diving lesson? Oh yes, here, help me out. Now hold my water wings and I'll dive in. I think I'll dive from the high board. That'll be a real thrill. Uh-huh. Of course, I'm not used to this. Maybe I ought to dive off the low board. That's fun, too. Oh, why bother? I'll dive right here from the edge of the pool. There's one more way, boss. Yes, it's lovely. Gee, look at those mountains all around us. Majestic, ain't they? Almost drowned. Why didn't you throw me the life preserver? I couldn't, I was sitting on it. Well, you could have got up. Now pull me out. What's the matter with it? The first one I ever saw with long pants. These aren't long pants. When my trunks get wet, they creep down. They'll be all right when they dry out. When they dry out, they'll break your legs. Well, not. This material is very good. So you've got your bathing suit on, Mary. Why don't you go in for a swim? Oh, I'll wait till the others get here. Hey, Jack, what's that canoe doing in the swimming pool? That canoe? Oh, Rochester wanted from an Indian. You know, he brought his dice with him. Would you like a string of beads, Miss Limson? Rochester, I told you last week to stop gambling with the Indians. Boss, when a man pays me, I don't look up to see if there's a feather in his hair. I want you to cut it out. You've got more Indian stuff now than Fred Harvey's. So take it easy. Hey, Jack, look. Here comes Mr. Billingsley, your border. Oh, yes. What's he doing here? Oh, he arrived a few hours ago. Claims he flew in from Hollywood on his magic carpet. Over these mounts? Oh, you're as bad as he is. Oh, hello, Mr. Billingsley. Good morning, Mr. Benny. Been in for a dip, I see. Yes. Yeah, why don't you go in for a swim, Mr. Billingsley? I'd love to, but my tuxedo is at the cleaners. Oh, yes, he always swims formal. Say, Jack, I think I'll stretch out and take a sun bath. Go ahead. Watch out for that sun, Mary. It's pretty hot. Here's a can of oil. I'm not going to rub that stuff on me. Here, take this can. Nothing doing. It's still got a sardine in it. A sardine? Shall I bring you a cracker, boss? Never mind. I think I'll take a sun bath, too. Rochester, rub some oil on my back. You mean out of this can? Yes. I did that yesterday, and the cat licked it off faster than I could put it on. The cat isn't around here today. Rob me. OK. Gee, Mary, just think. Here we are taking a sun bath, and right above us are snow-covered mountains. Aren't those peaks beautiful? They're sharp, too. My magic carpet is in shreds. Oh, that's too bad. How are you going back to Los Angeles? With a banjo on my knee. Well, that was my fault. Hey, Mary, you better cover up there. You'll get sunburned. Oh, I'm all right. Gee, you look cute in that bathing suit. No kidding, Mary. You look just like Miss Hollywood. Oh, hello, Dennis. Hello, Mr. Benny. Stand up, Mary. Let's see your suit in the back. There. Oh, boy. Now behave yourself, or I'll take away your pass to my swimming pool. Did he get a pass? I had to buy a membership. Mary, I can't start a swimming club without members. Say, Mr. Benny, you got to ask, well, records here. Do you mind if I play your Victrola? No, no, go right ahead, Dennis. It's the club Victrola. Any member can play it. Oh, Mr. Billingsley, are you sure you wouldn't like to go in for a swim? No, thanks. I'll just run up to my room for a sun bath. To your room? Oh, did you bring a sun lamp with you? No, just a glow worm. Goodbye. He must have traded in his lightning bug. Oh, well. Look, Mr. Benny, here's one of my records. Would you like to hear it? Yeah, that would be swell. Go ahead, Dennis, put it on. Gee, this sun is hot now. Sure feels good, though. You know, it's fun just stretching out here and ouch. Oh, oh, oh, oh. What's the matter, Mr. Benny? His trunk's just dried. Oh, my leg. I can't understand the suit shrinking so much. My own father sold it to me. Say, Mary. You're not going to kick it. Just sit in the sun and peel. Now, forget it. Say, Mary, I wish Don and Phil would get here so we can get started on our hike. Now, wait a minute, Jack. I told you I'm not going on any hike. You are too. We're going up to Tokwitz Falls. It's one of the most beautiful sites in this part of the country. Here comes your friend for some more of that sardine oil. Kitty, he'll be playing love and bloom on you. I just want to pet him, that's all. Here, kitty. Hey, Jack, here come Don and Phil. Oh, yeah. Hi, it's Jackson. Hello, Mary. Hello, everybody. You think of this place I rented. Not bad, eh? Hey, it's all right. And what a beautiful swimming pool. Move over, Don. I can't see it. That's small. And Phil, if our swimming pool isn't big enough for you, you can very well stay out of it. I don't want to go in anyway. I just had my hair dead. Hair done, and it ain't becoming. Incidentally, fellas, before entering pool, please take shower. How much does that cost? Oh, don't try to be funny. The shower is free. Tows 15 cents. And I'll tell you one thing, fellas. I'm very lucky to get a house like this at the height of the season. Ah, you certainly are, Jack. It's a lovely yard. And look at those fruit trees. Boy, get a load of those oranges. Phil, leave those oranges right on the trees. I don't want to break up a crate. Jeepers, they counted them. Mary, that's part of the landscaping, and I don't want them disturbed. So Jack, don't you think we ought to get started on our hike? Yes, Don. We'll be leaving just as soon as our Indian guide gets here. Indian guide? Yes, he knows the trail. Now get into your slacks, Mary, so you'll be ready. I am not going on that long walk. Then why did you join the Benny Swimming and Hiking Club? You told me Mrs. Roosevelt belonged. I did not. I said I sent her an application blank. That was all. Now come on, we're all going. Say, Jackson, how do you like my hiking outfit? Oh, you look swell, Phil. Well, what's that bottle sticking out of your coat pocket? Well, that's a little Kentucky pain killer in case a snake bites me. Well, you might need it at that. Hey, wait a minute, Phil. There's another bottle in your hip pocket. What's that for? Oh, that's standard equipment. Oh, I see. Now come on, everybody, let's get ready. I'm all set, Jack. I've got the rope and everything. The rope? Yeah, I hear the trail's pretty steep in places, so I figured we'd all have to tie ourselves together. Oh. Then in case one of us happens to slip, the others can keep him from falling. Well, that's a beautiful theory, Don. But supposing you happen to be the one that slips. What about us? Next Sunday, the Aldrich family. You set us. Well, let's get started. Go ahead and change, will you, Mary? OK, I'll be right back. Look who's here, boss. Oh, yes. Me, Indian guide. You, Jack Benning. Oh, I mean, yes. Yes. Now look, Leaping Deer. That's your name, isn't it? Leaping Deer, my uncle. Me, Eagle Puss. Oh, he couldn't come, eh? Well, now look, Eagle Puss. We'll be starting in a few minutes. What do you get for taking a party up to Tokwitz Falls? $10. I'll get his back, boss. Let's get ready. Hey, Dennis, have you got the water jug? Yeah, I got it. I'm just dandy. Hey, Jackson, all this walking is monotonous. It is, eh? Yeah, and if a snake don't bite me pretty soon, I'm going to take a drink anyway. Don't you touch it. Say, Eagle Puss, we've been walking. Eagle Puss, we've been walking a long time. How much further is it to Tokwitz Falls? Me don't know. Eagle Puss off. You should have known that his tomahawk says he's made in Japan. Well, what'll we do? Here's a sign, Mr. Benny. Tokwitz. Well, let's get moving. Oh, I'm hungry. Jack, let's stop and eat. Don, we're not eating till we get to the falls. But I am now to buy the food since breakfast. I know, Don. I know you're wasting away to a shadow of Mount Whitney. We'll eat later. Say, Phil, what are you doing with that bottle in your hand? Bingo, a snake bit me. Impossible. At this time of year, rattlesnakes are in hibernation. They're in their hold, sleeping. Well, this one's a playboy. Oh, stop, will you? Well, all right, Eagle Puss. There's the sign. Read it. We take them trail up mountains. Follow me, pale faces. Salam, boys! Let's go. I'm tired, Mr. Benny. This water jug is heavy. Well, let somebody else take it. Phil, you carry the water jug. I got the hatchet. Here, John, you take it. I'm carrying the rope. You take the water, Mary. I got the camera. Here, Jack, you carry it. I'm loaded up with the compass and everything. Here, Dennis, you take the water jug. OK. There's something funny going on around here. Well, you had a rest, didn't you? All right, fellas, let's go. Four wrongsly. What happened there? I stumbled. Oh, don't bother with the drum now. I've got the fife again. I don't need that either. Gee, fellas, get a load. Get a load of this rock formation. You know, I've never seen a view with so much hate. Hey, what's that? Look, Jackson, there's something moving in that bush up ahead. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. Wonder what it is. Gee, it might be a wild animal. All right, go find out what's in that bush. Let's walk around the bush. Come on, fellas, we can pick up the trail on the other side. Lead the way, Eagle Puss. Lucky up here. Say, Eagle Puss, what are all these holes in the side of the mountain here? Many moons ago, white man ticked gold here. Gold, eh? Yes, Jack, why, even today, hikers have been known to find nuggets on this trail here. Is that so? Well, that's very interesting. Get up off your knees, Jack. I'm just bending over. The snap sack is heavy. Well, let's get going, fellas. Gee, you know, fellas, I wouldn't have missed this hike for anything in the world. Gosh, all the vastness of this gorgeous scenery makes one realize the insignificance of man. Especially me, I can't even swim. Venice. You forget about that. You're right, Jackson. Look at that brook down there with the weeping willows hanging over it. Yeah. What a painting that would make for my bass drum. Well, I wish you'd put it on there. Your telephone number is a little too obvious. But no, no, kiddin', fellas. Gee, you talk, I never saw anything place like that. You talk about scenery. Hey, fellas, hey, look at that cliff over there. Look at that cliff over there. Gee. It makes an echo, too. It makes an echo, too. Watch them step. They'll face no papoose anymore. OK, I'll watch it. Gee, fellas, look at those white, fleecy clouds against that blue sky. You ever see anything so help me up, Rochester. Why don't you watch where you're going? Well, I didn't see that. Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, what's this? What's this? I saw it first. You saw what first? Right there. That gold nugget. It's mine. I moved my foot, and there it was. There may be hundreds of them here. And, fellas, let's get to the falls. Ready, Mr. Billingsley? Recipe book.
