Now, ladies and gentlemen, we turn back the clock and take you to the drug store across the street from the NBC building here in Hollywood. The time is exactly 15 minutes before this broadcast. Take it away, drug store. Hurry up and order your sandwich, will you, Mary? We'll be on the air in a few minutes. A sandwich? Yes. I'm a growing girl. I want meat and potatoes. Well, all right. Order a meat sandwich. And the potato chips here are very crispy. Every Sunday we have to eat in the drug store. 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. They can't treat me that way. What do you mean? Every time I want to see that drawing of myself, I've got to go in and wash my hands. It's not right. Oh, stop complaining. This item on the menu. Jack Benny Special, 35 cents. Jack Benny Special? What is it? A minute steak with a transfusion. Oh, these soda jerks think they're so smart. Hey, Gilroy, what do I have to do to get a little service around here? Take it easy, blue eyes. Hello, Mary. What'll it be? I'll have a hot roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes, lettuce and tomato salad, and apple pie with 2D fruity ice cream. Mary, you haven't got time to eat all that. Okay, don't tooth the fruity. Save that stuff for the program. Say, Gilroy, I think I'll just have a cup of coffee and a donut. A what? A donut. One of those over there with the powdered sugar on it. That's a plain donut. I forgot to dust them off this morning. Oh, oh, well, never mind. Maybe I'll just have a cup of... Hello, Phil. Hello, Jackson. Hello, Mary. Hello. Hey, Jack, get a load of Phil's slacks. They button on the side. Oh, yeah. Well, I'll be darned. I put on a pair of Alice's. Oh, my goodness. Why don't you open your eyes when you get up in the morning? They're open, Jackson, but they don't work till noon. Oh. What'll it be, Twitch? Well, uh... Smart guy, give me a Phil Harris Special. Okay. One hammer. Put a wave in it. The most egotistical thing I ever heard. Water, Mary. Thanks. Oh, Jack, let me down the other end of the counter. It's Virgil Reimer, our funny sound man. That's what he thinks. Nobody speaks to him. He's getting too fresh. Hello, Virgil. What do you have? Get long distance on the phone. I want a Denver Sandwich. Oh, he's... he's so clever. Dave Virgil, you sure got a lot of laughter. Can't hide last Sunday. You were the funniest thing on the Benny program. Yeah, and imagine what I could do if old Poison Puss didn't hold me down. Hmm, Poison Puss, that's a fine way to talk about our sponsors. He means you. I know who he means. Wise guy. No kidding, Virgil. You're terrific. Do you get many fan letters? I'll say. Remember that little poodle that used to run out and bring in my mail? Yeah? Well, I got a Saint Bernard now. That's positively the worst joke I ever heard. I thought it was kind of cute. Me too. Yeah? Hmm. You know, Virgil, I thought you had a lot of fun working for Benny. Fun? That old slave driver does everything but chases across the ice. Well, that's the last straw. Now, listen here, Virgil. Oh, hello, Mr. LaGrie. Where's your whip? Never mind the wisecracks. You get over to NBC and set up our props for the program. Now, scram. See what I told you, Gil? All right. Get going. Get going. Hey, Virgil, I slipped my moth and Mickey. You stay out of this. Hey, where's my armlet? Here you are, Twitch. You want something to drink with it? No, thanks. I'm on the wagon. Hmm. He never heard a coffee in the morning. Hurry up with mine, will you? Say, Mr. Benny, I just got on the weighing machine and how much do you think... Oh, hello, Dennis. Hello. Say, Mr. Benny, I just got on the weighing machine and how much do you think... How, uh, how are you feeling, kid? All right, I guess. Good, good. I thought I had fallen arches for a while, but I wasn't pulling my socks up. Oh. Oh, I see. Thank heaven my girl can use those arch supporters I bought. Why don't you buy them, Jack? Because I don't need them. What makes you think I got flat feet? Plop, plop, plop. All right, all right, young lady. Just for that, I'm not going to pick up your check today. I can carry it over to the cashier myself. I was going to pay it, too. Say, Mr. Benny, I just got on the weighing machine and... Yes. How much do you think I weigh? How much, Dennis? A hundred and forty pounds. Stripped. Stripped? I took the scale and the phone booth. Well, you better watch yourself, young man. And you know what else, Mr. Benny? When I put a penny in the machine, I got one of those little cars with my fortune on it. Oh, your fortune, eh? What did it say, kid? You're lucky you can sing. Now, there's a machine that knows its business. Hey, Gilroy, where's my coffee? Did you send a Brazil for it? C-C, senor. Smart Alec. I wouldn't even eat here if the brown derby wasn't so careless. Now, you ought to wash your hands here sometime. I'll beat Don. Hey, kids, you better snap into it. We're on the air in a few minutes. Okay, Don. See you later, Jackson. I'm going to run ahead and find out what my boys are going to play today. What? You mean you don't know what numbers you're doing? Weren't you at rehearsal? We didn't have a rehearsal. Frankie left the cards and chips home. Oh. See you in the joint, fellas. Be right up. Oh, say, Don. Don, come here a minute, will you? Oh. Have a seat. When you introduce me today, I wish you'd do me a favor and say I just started my new picture at Warner Brothers with Ann Sheridan. Well, are you making a picture with Ann Sheridan? Yes, and it might be on the program today. You know, it might be a nice subject to talk about. You know, inject a little romance. What do you mean, romance? You're playing the part of her father, aren't you? I had that out with the director, and I'm now her husband. My new role will be great for the picture. It won't hurt the makeup business, either. All right. Now, don't worry. Warner Brothers, huh? Yeah. Be with you in a second, Mary. I want to get a tube of shaving cream. Hey, mister, give me a tube of shaving cream, will you? Got to turn in an old tube, you know. Got to turn in an old one, you know. Look, I haven't got an old tube. Now, hurry, will you? Government regulations. But look, look. I don't make the laws, you know. Now, look, look. Come on, Jack. We'll be late. I'm coming. Now, look, mister, forget the shaving cream. Just give me a cigar. Got to have an old one, you know. Never mind. Forget the whole thing. Come on, Mary, let's go. Glamour Boy, like Don said. Don, how in the world did you ever find out about my new picture with Ann Sheridan? Did you read about it in some column? Did you? No, Jack, as a matter of fact, I haven't seen anything about it in the papers. Well, then, how did you ever find out about it in some column? And how did you ever hear about it? I was trying to keep it a secret. How'd you find out, Don, did a little bird tell you? Yeah, an old gray canary. It is my new leading lady, and she sure is a peach to work with. Oh, I can imagine. I mean, her, her, her enunciation is so clear and bell-like, and her, her diction is simply marvelous, you know. And her, her... That's Benny for you. With him, it's her diction. Well, she is beautiful, I'll admit that. And confidentially, Don, I think her husband, George Brent, is a little jealous of me, you know. What do you mean? Well, he happened to visit the set the other day, just as Ann and I were doing a love scene. Right in the middle of a kiss, he got mad and walked out. Well, naturally, why did you kiss him? I didn't kiss him. I kissed Miss Sheridan. Pay attention, will you? Anyway, Don, I think that this picture will be one of my best screenings to date. In fact, I'm already getting fan letters on it. Really? Yep. He gets a bill from Bullocks and he calls it a fan letter. I'm talking about real movie fans that write in. Don, you know that little poodle that used to run out and bring in my mail? What poodle? Well, I got a great dame now. Pretty clever, eh, Dozzy? Some had lived. Now, wait a minute, you. That's my gag. You said St. Bernard. I said great dame. It's a different gag altogether. You steal any more of my stuff and I'll play ring around your nosey. Oh, go sit down. Say, Jackson, do you think there's a chance of getting me in that new picture you're making? Well, I don't know, Phil. I'm Anne Sheridan's husband. What part could you play? Well, if you're her husband, she's got to have a sweetheart. Listen, maestro, I wouldn't make any more cracks like that if I were you. Less next season, when I say play, Phil, I'll be addressing Phil Spitalny. So, watch it. Oh, you couldn't fire me, Jackson. I got too much on you. Oh, yeah? Well, listen, Phil, if you're referring to that knight in Phoenix, that young lady was my Anne... I've never been to Phoenix. Hmm. Why don't I keep my big mouth shut? Anyway, Phil, don't think I can't get along without you. Say, Mr. Benny. Oh, hello, Dennis. You met me in the drug store, remember? Oh. Oh, yes. Say, Mr. Benny, can I come out to the studio and watch you work on your picture someday? Why, certainly, Dennis. Anytime you feel like it. That's swell. And say, while I'm out there, would you mind introducing me to a... to a certain somebody? As if I didn't know, huh? Who do you mean, Dennis? Oh, you'll tease me about it. No, no, no. Who do you want to meet? Edward G. Robinson. Well, that I never figured. Hmm, what a... Well, it's about time for your song, kid, so let's have it. Okay. Hold it a minute. Mr. Benny. Yes. Would you be interested in a toupee with no cuffs on it? Get out of here! You ought to see his head, folks. The only thing he can part on it is his eyebrows. Sing, Dennis. I remember you sung by Dennis Day, who would rather meet Edward G. Robinson than Ann Sheridan. And now, folks... I only wanted to meet Robinson, so he would introduce me to Miss Sheridan. Oh, I go to all that trouble. I could introduce you to Ann. Well, I wanted to meet her for nothing. It wouldn't cost you anything. And now, folks... you charged me 25 cents to meet Barbara Stanwyck. You met Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor. And now, folks... that isn't worth a quarter, then I don't know what. And now, folks, Mr. Don Wilson, that eminent American author has written another of his famous one-act plays. Take it, Mr. Wilson. The scene, ladies and gentlemen, don't run off, Dennis. You're in this. You're going to be an old prospector. Okay. Here, Phil. Hold my yo-yo. Dennis, put that away. Go ahead, Don. The scene, ladies and gentlemen, is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Lamere, who live in a cabin on the edge of the Mojave Desert in a desolate part of the West. They're just finishing their evening meal. Music, please. Well... Well, Cary, I thought our supper tonight was fine. There's nothing like barbecued coyote. Not only that, I got a fur coat out of it. Yep, and that jello we had for dessert was mighty tempting. How did you get it? I walked 85 miles to our neighborhood grocer. Well, it sure was worth it. Say, Ruf, I seen a newspaper in town, and guess what? What? It says that men ain't going to wear cuffs on their pants anymore. They ain't, eh? Say, I wonder if I got cuffs on my pants? Why don't you take off your boots some time and find out? One of these days, I'm a-going to. Now, I wonder who that is. Come in. Hmm. Hello, stranger. Who are you? I'm a prospector, and for three weeks now, I've been lost in the desert without food or drink. I'm starving, I tell you, starving! Be calm, old timer. Sit down. Okay, hold my yo-yo. A fine prospector. I'm starving, I tell you, starving! Now, don't worry. We'll take care of you. Yes, I'll fix you. Nice hot dish of beef stew. Beef stew? Yep. No, thank you. I'm a vegetarian. Hmm. I'm starving, I tell you, starving! Be patient. We'll think of something, stranger. Say, would you like a nice lettuce and tomato salad? What kind of dressing? French or Thousand Islands? No, thank you. Hmm. I'm starving, I tell you, starving! Well, you've got to eat something. Isn't there anything you'd like? Yes. Have you got some tempting and delicious jello? Jello? I'm sorry, partner. We had some, but we ate every bit of it. I'm going to make it again tomorrow, though. Okay, I'll be back. So long. So long, stranger. I'm starving, I tell you, starving, starving! Hmm. Aw, folks. What other product can command such loyalty? That little drama, ladies and gentlemen, was written by our own Don Wilson. And Don, that's the best one yet. Oh, I don't deserve too much credit for it, Jack. You see, that was a true story. I believe you. Now, um... Now go over to your chairs and sit down. And now, folks... And now, folks, I would like to announce that our program next Sunday will originate from San Francisco, where we are going to dedicate the brand-new NBC studios. In fact, we're going to do their very first broadcast. Well, I guess a new building can take it. Don't worry. If I can just get my writers out of Hurley's bar and into a Turkish bath, we'll be okay. Now, kids, I, uh, gave all of you your railroad tickets, so I better check them over to see if everything's all right. Phil, what's your, uh, Pullman reservation? I'm sleeping in car 19, lower five. Check. What's yours, Dennis? Car 19, lower five. Check. Now, wait a minute! Never mind. Now, what's yours, Don? Car 19, lower five. Uh, check. What's, uh... What's yours, Mary? Upper five. Thanks, Jack. Don't mention it. Well, everything's okay, so remember, fellas, be at the station one half hour before train time. Now, take it easy, Jackson. Three of us can't sleep in one bird. No, of course not. We won't be comfortable. Listen, Don, in the days of Bortable, the four Marx brothers slept in one bird and they had a harp besides. So stop beefing. Well, Jack, if I was as thin as the four Marx brothers, I wouldn't complain. Don, the tickets are bought and that's the way it's going to be. That's a lot of hooey about the Marx brothers. How do you know they all slept in one bird? Jack was in the baggage car with Sink's mule. You said it. In those days, when I said I was going to hit the hay, I mended it. Anyway, fellas, it's a short trip, so don't worry about it. Say, Mr. Benny, where are you going to sleep? Well, Dennis, on account of my insomnia, I think I'll just sit up in the chair car and read. I'll get a magazine. Well, buy a popular mechanic and find out how three guys can lay down in one bird. Who said lay down? Lay down? Or lie down? Which is correct. A lot of good. That'll do us. Listen, kids, will you please stop being so fussy. Say, how am I going to get up to San Francisco by carrier pigeon? Virgil, you're not going to be with us next week. You can tune in and listen. I wouldn't listen to this program if it was the pot of gold and I had the only telephone in the country. Oh, you, uh, you wouldn't, eh? That's topin' him, Jack. I wasn't trying to top him. I don't want to hear any more about our trip. We're going there. We're going to open up the new studios. And immediately as soon as... Hmm. Hello? Oh, hello, Rochester. What do you want? Well, bossy did it before and he did it again. What? What are you talking about? Carmichael just came out of hibernation and I can't... You mean my polar bear woke up already? Why, he's not supposed to come out of hibernation till May 1st. He's early. So was the gas man. Stop dreaming things up. Tell me, Rochester, was Carmichael in a good mood? Well, yes and no. What do you mean, yes and no? When he first got up, he came over and hugged me and squeezed me and even tried to kiss me. Well... And then he put salt in. I bet he's as thin as a rail. Uh-huh. You better give him something to eat, Rochester. A lot of nourishing food. Uh-huh. What that bear needs is something fattening. I know one hungry fudge he ain't gonna get. Rochester, stop. You know he loves you. Now here's what you do. Give Carmichael a nice cold shower and then comb his hair out. It might be all matted, you know? He don't like it when I comb his hair. Well, then give him a slap on his nose and make him behave. Let him know who's boss. I let him know once, then he let me know and now there's no question about it. All right, Rochester. Just leave him alone. When I come home, I'll take care of everything. Goodbye. Goodbye. Oh, say, boss. Now what? I'm going up to San Francisco with you, ain't I? Yes, of course. Well, on this trip, am I gonna be under 12 or a poor man for her again? You're getting a ticket. Now, goodbye. Darn that Carmichael every year. The gas company wants to take my meter out. Oh, well, play, Phil. Gaglessened dessert is bright and beautiful as spring itself. Jello cubes with strawberries. It's an enticing treat that will lend the grand touch of color and flavor to any meal you serve it with. How folks will enjoy it. And just listen to how easy it is to make. Simply dissolve one package of orange jello in a pint of hot water. Next, turn into a shallow pan and chill until firm. Cut the jello into cubes and then arrange them in sherbet glasses with sweetened sliced strawberries using quick frozen strawberries, if you wish. Serve either plain or with cream. What a dessert, so rich and inviting to look at, so gloriously good. Make the family this wonderful combination of sweet, juicy red strawberries and clear golden cubes of orange jello. Get several packages of orange jello tomorrow. But be sure when you do to get genuine jello because jello's flavor is locked in for your added enjoyment. Last number of the 29th program in the current jello series, and we will be with you again next Sunday night at the same time broadcasting from the new NBC studio in San Francisco. Long time no see at the train. Wait a minute, Mary. We've all got to stick around today and put on a little entertainment for men in uniform. They'll all be coming in here in a few minutes. Oh, well, I'll just have time to write a poem. Oh, soldiers, sailors and marines, you're the nicest guys. Save it, save it, save it. Good night, folks. Friends, the same folks who make jello make another wonderful dessert. Jello puddings. Three luscious puddings that you make with milk. Try jello chocolate pudding. A smoother, mellower pudding you never tasted. And what a world of rich, homemade goodness it has. A grand chocolate flavor developed especially for jello puddings by the famous Walter Baker chocolate people. So tomorrow, when you order jello, ask for all three jello puddings. Chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch. They're just like grandmas, only more so.
