 J.P.L.L.O. The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with Fine and Dandy. June is the month of weddings and here's a special hint for June brides. In planning your first menus, have Jello often for dessert. For all men like everybody else, enjoy Jello's extra-rich fruit flavor. You can serve Jello in hundreds of different ways. In salads as well as desserts. And on each package you'll find one or more helpful new Jello recipes. And here's another grand thing about Jello. It's so easy to make. Well, it takes no time at all to turn out a dessert that looks as if you'd worked hours over it. Remember that Jello is a great help in making your menus deliciously different. And always keep a supply of Jello on hand. But when you order Jello, be sure you get the real thing. Genuine Jello. Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell Jello. Fine and Dandy played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who looks twice as good as ever before, but oh, how he looked before, Jack Benny. Sir, Jello again, this is Jack Benny talking and thanks Don, thanks very much for the compliment, if it was. Well, Jack, I couldn't help observing how rapidly you've improved since your illness. Really, it's amazing. Oh, there's nothing unusual about it, Don. We, Benny's, are a sturdy family. You know, very unlolly poppy. Ah, yes, Jack, you certainly are the picture of health. I feel good too, and you know what's been doing it, don't you? Plenty of fresh air and exercise. Well, that's news to me. Do you really go in for exercise? Oh, passionately. Why, I'm on my third rowing machine. By the way, Don, when, where are the next Olympic Games? In Japan in 1940. Tee, I wish they were sooner. You know, Jack, I had no idea you were such an athlete. Oh, yes, yes. Well, tell me, Jack, just what is your formula in the pursuit of muscular stimulation? Well, I, what was that, Don? I say, what do you do for exercise? Oh, oh. Well, Don, the first thing in the morning I fling back the covers and jump out of bed. Then I do my breathing exercises. What's that? I smell my breakfast. By that time, I'm ready for my, oh, hello, Kenny. Hello, Jack, what are you fellas talking about? The exercises that have been building him up. Oh, exercises. I train her. You have? What does he do for you, Kenny? Oh, he takes me for a run through the park, and then he makes me jump through hoops, and after that he makes me balance the ball on my nose. Well, Kenny, you've got an animal trainer. What? An animal trainer. Well, he certainly did wonders for me. He did, huh? He should see me bury a bone. Kenny, Kenny, you're positively silly. Oh, yeah? Well, I've got a smart brother and he's starving to death. Oh. Well, well, I surrender. Oh, say, Don, what's the matter with Phil? He's standing over there by himself. Why doesn't he join us? Well, you know, Jack, he's probably embarrassed about that wristwatch incident last week. Oh, well, he should be, giving me a watch for Christmas present and not keeping up the payments. Oh, you should worry. Yeah, say, what's a watch to me? I can always call up Central and find out what time it is. Sure. Of course, I'll look funny walking around with a telephone on my wrist. Build a booth around it and nobody will see it. That's right, that's right. And I can hang a phone book on my ear. Imagine me walking around with my stomach full of nickels. Well, if I were you, Jack, I wouldn't be angry at Phil. He didn't mean it. Oh, I'm not mad at him, Don. I love Phil. But it's the principle of the thing. After all, you know, I've done a lot for that rat. Well, take it from me, Jack. He feels pretty bad about it. Bad enough to buy me a new watch? No. Oh, hello, Phil. Oh, hello. I didn't see you in back of that fist. How are you? I'm all right. And I want to tell you, Jack, I'm sorry about that watch. Oh, forget about it, Phil. You know the old saying, easy come, you can't keep it. Yes, sir. Hello, Jack. Hello, Don. Hello, Phil. Hello, Kenny. Hello, Mary. Hello, Mary. Hello, Joe. Joe, who's Joe? My uncle, he's listening in. Oh. Well, Mary, Mary, do you notice any change in me? How do I look? You look swell, Jack. Gee, you're so tan and muscle-bound. Muscle-bound? Why, Don told me I look better than I ever did. Oh, Don's full of baloney. Is that so? Jack's full of nickels. Listen, Mary, Don noticed a great improvement in me, and it's because I've been taking a lot of exercise. That's what I'm looking for. Oh, I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I've been taking a lot of exercise. That's what's doing it. That's nothing. I exercise, too, every morning. You do. Well, tell me, Mary. Get this, Don. Tell me, Mary, what is your formula in the pursuit of muscular stimulation? Do you want a specific retort, or shall I generalize? Where? Toy with that, big boy. Isn't she clever tonight? I'd give my annuity for a snappy answer. There's a phone. I'll take it. Hello? Yes? It's for you, Mary. For me? Hello? Yes? Who is it, Mary? Quiet, nosy. Uh, yes, this is Miss Livingston. Oh, hello, Mr. Shower. Yes? Well, I'll try. Hold the line, please. Jack is Mr. Shower, my producer at Paramount. What does he want? He wants me to come over to the studio right away and shoot an important scene. Can I go? Well, yes, of course. Well, yes, if it's important, Mary. Thanks. Hello, Mr. Shower? It's okay, Toots. I'll be right over. So long. Toots? That's his first name. His first name is Melville. Well, the secretary calls him Toots. Oh. You'd better run along, Mary. After all, it's your first picture. Oh, Mary, before you go, I'd like to ask you a favor. Sure, what is it, Don? If there's a spot in your picture where you can mention, well, of course, I don't want you to be obvious about it, but if you can just squeeze in a word about those six delicious flavors, I'd appreciate it. I'll do the best I can. Yeah, but be subtle about it, Mary, you know. Anything else, Don? Well, let me see. Oh, what's the name of your picture, Mary? It's called This Way, Please. Gee, I'd appreciate it if you could get them to change it to This Way Jell-O. Yes, Mary, it only means changing one word, you know. But don't be obvious about it. I'll see what I can do. Hey, This Way Jell-O doesn't make sense. Hey! But run along, Mary, and good luck on your picture. So long, Mary. Goodbye. Hey, Jack. What? I just thought of something very funny. What is it? Well, come on now, tell me, what is it? Oh, no, I'm saving it for my picture. Oh. Gee, I can hardly wait to see it. Play, Phil. The dance played by our rollicking rhythm rascals and directed by that eminent American maestro, Mr. Phil I.G. Harris. Thanks, Jack, but what's the I.G. for? Indian giver. Wow! I certainly sprung the trap that time. You should have been in it. Hey. I thought you went to Paramount. I came back for that joke. Goodbye. Say, Phil, do you think that gag was worth coming back for? No. And say, Jack, I don't want to harp on this, but I've been feeling kind of low all week. You're not really angry about that watch, are you? No, Phil, of course not, and don't worry about it. Let me tell you something, Phil. There's something greater than the material things in life. Something beyond and above earthly possessions. And, Phil, I value your friendship more than all the watches in the world. Jack, you're kidding. I sure am. Well, to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll buy you a present next week that'll make up for everything. Well, get me something I can nail down. Or at least something I can eat. All right, I'll get you a plunk steak. That's plank. No, it's plunk. I'm going to hit you over the head with it. Fine friend. Phil, you're the kind of a guy who could split up Damon and Pithias. Are they still running around together? I don't know. I missed Winchell's broadcast. I wish somebody would knock on the door or something. What a coincidence. Come in. Hi, you buck. Yes. Same here. Say, you're quite a stranger. Haven't been around in almost a month. What happened? Well, I started down here several times, buck. Then I thought, oh, there's no use putting on my shoes just for that. Why? Is that so much trouble? Well, I don't mind putting them on. It's the buttonin' that gets me. Say, I hear you were pretty sick. Yes, Andy. And I was kind of disappointed that you didn't send me anything. Well, I was going to send you flowers, but Ma said, better wait and see which way it goes. Well, I feel all right now. You know, I've been exercising. You ought to try it. Buck, by the time I get through plowing and chopping wood, I ain't got no time for it. Oh, naturally, naturally. About the only real exercise I get is helping Ma curry puff to bed. Why, is the old boy that lazy? Yep, most every night he comes home dead lazy. I get it. Say, where's Mary? I'm over at Paramount working on my picture. Go away, Mary. What were you saying, Andy? I said, where's Mary? Oh, she had to go over to Paramount to work on her picture. She did? You know, I'm working over there, too. I'm with Bing Crosby. Oh, you and Bing, huh? Yeah, say, buck, do you think two crooners in one picture is overdoing it? No, Andy. No, you and Bing don't sing anything alike. I don't know. He's coming along pretty fast. Well, I wouldn't worry about it. Say, Andy, have you got any cute girls working with you? Mighty cute, Phil, but they ain't cooperating with the darn. They ain't, eh? Well, maybe they prefer Bing Crosby. After all, he's a lady's man. That's what I told you. Two crooners is too much. There's something to that, huh? But there's one thing I can't understand, buck. What's that? Well, if those gals are so stuck on Crosby, why do they let me run out and get them sandwiches all the time? Well, they must like you, too. I know, but it gets pretty monotonous hearing them say, oh, honey, to Bing and Ham on ride a mead. Well, cheer up, Andy. You may work yourself up the chicken salad. But that's pictures for you. You know, I'm starting on one myself pretty soon. It's called Artists and Models. You got a good part? Only the leading role, Andy. Say, Jack, what did you say the name of your picture is? Artists and Models. Artists and Models? Why, they've been shooting that for six weeks. They have? Well, I better get over there immediately. Yeah, if you want to get in it. Say, maybe I better call them up and see about it. What's the number of Paramount, Andy? Have they got a telephone? Why, certainly. Shucks, and I've been sending. Carry your pigeon. Give me that phone. Operator, get me the Paramount Studio Hollywood. I bet they're trying to put something over on me. You know, Andy, I had a hunch that... Hello? I want to speak to Mr. Gensler, please. Yeah. You know, Andy, I had a hunch... Hello, Mr. Gensler? This is Jack Benny. Yeah. Say, what about my picture, Artists and Models? Oh, all right, then. What about Artists and Models? Well, I understand you've been shooting it for six weeks. When are you going to get to me? I'm not worried. What? Well, don't I come out of the barrel at all? Oh, at the finish, I see. Oh, well, all right, Mr. Gensler, goodbye. What did he say, punk? Well, he said he's saving me for the climax of the picture. The important part is right at the end, you know. That's why they have the finale there. That's a great idea, Jack. They need a fellow like you. Yeah, that's what he said. No matter how good the picture is, you've got the personality, ability and magnetism to give it that terrific final punch. You can put it over with a bang. Phil, you're kidding. I sure am. Now, wait a minute, Mr. Harris. That's my career you're kicking around. Yeah. Well, Buck, I gotta... I gotta leave you now, Buck. I'm due back at the studio myself. Say, Andy, I think I'll go along with you. I'm kind of anxious to see how Mary's doing. Why don't I go along, Jack? Not at all, Don. You want to join us, Phil? I'd like to, but who will lead the orchestra? Oh, come on, after 37 weeks, they're not going to start looking at you now. Okay. Can I come along, too, Jack? No, Kenny, you stay here and do your song. You can join us later. Come on, fellas. Come on, Kenny. Oh, guys, they all left. Oh, well, what are you going to sing tonight, Kenny? I'm going to sing I Know Now from the Singing Marine. Atta boy, sing, Kenny. Jack Murray can't see you. Well, don't get mad. He can't see me either. Yeah, I wish I didn't have to work today. Are you sure we can get in the studio all right, Jack? Of course we can. I'm not under a contract here for nothing. Don't tell me you get paid. What do you think? Ha! That'll keep you quiet. On studio, just a moment, please. You're wanting on the set, right? No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. Just a moment, please. You're wanting on the set, Mr. Divine. Thanks. Get me a ham sandwich first. Okay, see you later, Buck. Hello, Andy. Here's the information desk. I'll find out where Murray is. Oh, young man. Yes, sir? I'm Jack Benny. Could you tell me where this way, please, is shooting? I could, but what have you ever done for me? Well, this is the information desk, isn't it? Say, are you trying to bribe me? Now, look here, young man. What stage has Murray Livingston working on? Stage seven. Thanks. How do I get there? You can walk or I'll take your piggyback. Oh, come on, fellas. We'll find it ourselves. Wasn't he a fresh guy? Hey, Jack! Jack! Jack, here comes Kenny. Well, you certainly made it fast. How'd your song go over, Kenny? You know me, stuff baker. Well, take a hold of Don's hand. We're on our way over to Murray's. Hey, this is quite a studio, isn't it, Don? Oh, it sure is. I'll bet you know all the big movie stars here, don't you, Jack? Most of them, Kenny. After all, I work here. Well, fellas, I'm certainly anxious to see how... Hey, Jack. Jack. Here comes Marlene Dietrich. Where? Oh, yeah. Hello, Marlene. Oh, Miss Dietrich, hello. That didn't work either. I guess she didn't recognize me without her makeup on. Pretty, isn't she? She's my dream girl. Well, wake up and live. Dream girl. Jack, isn't that Gary Cooper standing over there? Where? Oh, yeah. Hiya, Gary. Hello, Sam. That was my name in my last picture, you know. Well, here's stage six. We're almost there. Hey, Jack, there's a man that looks just like Abraham Lincoln. Well, he ought to with his statue. Oh. Well, here we are, fellas. Stage seven. Follow me in. Yeah, I guess they're... I guess they're ready to shoot. Oh, boy, look at those curse girls. See you later, man. Woo-hoo! Leave it to him. Oh, pardon me, sir. Miss Livingston is working on this set, isn't she? Yeah, but I wouldn't bother her right now. She's in a very bad mood today. Very temperamental. Yeah, what's the trouble? Well, you know how these actresses are. There she is, Jack. Oh, yeah, then. Miss Livingston. Miss Livingston. Yes, Mr. Flore. That's Mary's director. Try that scene again. And this time, give me a little more emotion, please. Oh, all right. But I'm not a machine, you know. Just take it easy. Now, quiet, everybody. Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Who, me? Kenny. All right, Miss Livingston. Make me a second one. Camera. We're turning. Action. Oh, what is this hollow existence? What is life but a shell? I may have millions just, but what good have they did me? Done me. Oh, darn it. Cut! What's the matter with you, Miss Livingston? What's the matter with me? Make me such a stupidious question. Stupid. Stupidious. Pictures. Cinema. Bowling. Gee, I never saw Mary act like that before. Try it once more, Miss Livingston. No, no, I can't. I really can't. Mary. I don't feel those lines. I don't feel the part. It ain't me. Now, Miss Livingston, please try it. I can't work with this crowd staring at me. People, people, people! I've fun to be alone. Mary, what's the matter with you? You stay out of this. But I'm only trying to help Miss Livingston. I don't need any help. I'm Robert Flores. Well, I'm Jack Benny. I'm Kenny Baker. Quiet! I'm Don Wilson, and Jello has six delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, ice, lemon, and lime. Throw that guy out! I don't care, I did my duty. Quiet! What are you doing tonight, babe? Nothing filthy. Quiet! Now, Miss Livingston, please control yourself, and let's try that scene again. All right, but this is the last time. Now, Mary, Mary, get in there and show them what you can do. Put everything into it. Oh, shut up. Come on, now. This time, we're going to get it. Ready? Go ahead, Miss Livingston. Oh, what is this hollow existence? Oh, what is this hollow existence? What is life but a shell? I may have minion jets, but what good has it done me? Money! Money! Money! That can't buy happiness. Hey, bud! Shh! Quiet, Andy. I crave affection. I'm hungry for love. I'm starving. Again for sandwiches! Ice cream is a great American specialty, and here's how to make the finest ice cream you ever tasted. Make it with Jell-O ice cream powder, a new improved product which makes delicious, creamy ice cream right at home. Ice cream made this quick, easy way is more economical, too, for you actually use less cream and get more ice cream. You make it right in the freezing trays of your refrigerator, or you can use an ordinary hand-freezer and get the same delicious results. All you do is combine Jell-O ice cream powder, some milk, some cream and sugar, and you'll soon have a quarter-and-a-half of smooth, mellow ice cream. A quarter-and-a-half, mind you, or twice as much as you get when you use most other such products. Jell-O ice cream powder comes in five flavors, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon, and maple. And there is unflavored, too, so that you can make any other flavor you prefer. Serve ice cream made with Jell-O ice cream powder for dessert soup. It's bound to make a big hit with everybody. Ask your grocer tomorrow for Jell-O ice cream powder. The 37th program in the new Jell-O series will with you again next Sunday night at the same time. Say, Mary, I'm surprised at you. When I make pictures, I'm not so temperamental. Neither am I. This was your idea. Say, Jack, were we really at Paramount tonight? No, Kenny, the whole thing was only an illusion. Then I might as well tear up this phone number. Yes, Bill. Shucks, do I have to tear up these sandwiches, too? Quick! Quick! The National Broadcasting Company.
