 Music and entertainment opens the program in the 6-8 temple with a medley of old favorites. When a tire wears smooth in a hurry or fails to give good mileage, it's due to the lack of knowledge on the part of the man who sold it. The general tire dealer saved his customers many dollars and a lot of worry because he is a factory trained expert. Attending these factory schools regularly, they keep posted on the newest and latest tire development. There is no guesswork in the general tire dealer's service. He knows the right tire to put on and the correct air pressure to carry. When you put this factory trained knowledge behind the tire of general high quality, you have a combination that means the longest, safest, and most economical mileage you can buy. And now for that funny comedian, Jack Benny. Thank you. Hello some more. This is Jack Benny, your Hollywood reporter coming to you with all the late news reports with the courtesy of the Hollywood close-up. These all knows all and brings out your defects. Let's go. Beverly Hills, California. The Bing Crossbees are proud parents of twins. They now have three boys and are the March Brothers worries. Hey, that's a good laugh to start with, isn't it? The Little Crossbees were born in the blue of the night. And Bing was seen giving everybody a coroner's cigar. It's the best I can do with that. Ocean Park, California. There's a rumor that Guy Kibbey was seen here going around with Joan Blondel. But don't worry, folks. It was a merry-go-round. Each had a different horse. Are you thrilled? San Goldwyn, California. Eddie Cander, famous stage and screen comedian, gave a big dinner at his home last night. Who was that, Jack? Just died in the girls. That was enough. There is no truth in the report that Caviar was served at that dinner. It was just freckles on the waiter's hands. That's what fool I was saying. Who is this California? What great screen star was seen on what night with what director in whose car? And what did he say when she said, little man, what now? P.S., who cares? Merry-go-round. Director claims he is so good, he has a chance of stealing the picture. Hollywood, California. Brian Parker has as much chance of stealing the picture as K.T. in second base. Yeah, Mary, everybody has the reason. Go ahead. Beverly Hills, California. There's a rumor that Gary Cooper, famous screen star, is that way about Mary Livingston? Is that the truth, Mary? No, but I hope he gives me an. Nice girl. She's cute, huh? Nice girl. Go ahead, she's cute. General Fire gave a blowout last night, and she has blowout proof, non-skidding, and has the popular low price of construction. Well, you can't stop that. You got one to read, Jimmy? Yeah. There is a rumor that Jimmy Griller and his orchestra will now play My Middle Name is Love. That's a beautiful play, Jimmy. That was Jimmy Griller and the boys playing My Middle Name is Love. Well, guy that Griller. You know, Jimmy and I were out together for the first time since I've been here in Hollywood, and we had a lot of fun last night. And we went 50-50 on everything. I bought the dinner. He paid the car fare. I furnished the cigars. He had the matches. He took me to a show. I bought the tickets. He sure meets you halfway. Wait a minute, Jack. Several times I reached the check, and you just happened to beat me to it. Well, reach a little further next time, Jimmy. You know what I mean? Get your money out in two-four times instead of the old-fashioned walls, you know? But outside of that, you're a nice fellow. Really, folks, Jimmy would give you his shirt. That is if you were a China man you wouldn't charge too much, you know? Say, Jimmy, we've been together now for eight weeks. The next Friday night is my last program from Hollywood, so I think you ought to say a few words to our audience. Come on, Jimmy, just a word or two, you know? All right. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say that in all the years I've... That's fine, Jimmy, and a great thought, too, believe me. I mean, how many leaders can talk like that? You know, folks, a lot of people have asked me in fan mail and in person what Jimmy Greer looks like, and I think it is only fair to describe him to you. Jimmy is tall, rather handsome, and when you first meet him, you don't like him at all. But after you're with him a while, he's no bargain either. In appearance, I would say that Jimmy is the Terry Grant side. He looks more like General Graham. And speaking of General, it's the best tire on the market today. Oh, Jack, I read a great book last night. It takes you a few years. Isn't that a little over your head, Mary? No, I hold it in my life. Oh, all right. Answer the phone, Mary. You answer it. Hello? Hello. All right. Do I go to work tonight? Who is this? Oh, yes, our murder mystery. Life at home? I'll see. Oh, many. Stay at home. Come over right away, both of you, and go to work. I need you. Goodbye. And now, ladies and gentlemen, continuing with our mystery, the Sue's murder case, or Who Killed Mr. Sue. Now, to you people who have been following this horrible mystery, I say, hang on. But to you who have foolishly neglected it by attending to your business, I will describe what has gone on so far. Mr. J. Gasilto, too, of the famous radio suges was murdered on the night of June 15 in his villa on the Rue d'Ille, which strangely reminds us of this mystery. And the only clue are our six shots found in a bottle in Mr. Sue's hip pocket and a jar of goldfish that won't talk. Say, Mary, have you any clues? No, just a run in my stocking. Now, what was the motive behind this murder? It was not homicide. It was not suicide. Maybe it was herpeside. Mary, go down by the seaside and pull a permanent wave over your head. We will continue this mystery right after the next number, which will be sung by Philo Parker, the thin man. Play, Officer Donovan. I have an ear for music and I have an eye for the may. I like the pretty girlies with each pretty spoon at play. They go to deserts like sunny weather. Those with a munch of a mare. The pretty girl is just like a prey to my heart. I like the pretty girl. Mr. G's, boy, that was Frank Pinkerton singing A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody from the Ziegfield Folly. And now for that battle of wits with the underworld. Good tune. Does Frank pay? No, but Queen does his 14th sense of honor. The scene takes place in Sergeant O'Hare's office in a 110th precinct police station. Or maybe I was transferred by now. I don't know. Curtin, play, Mr. G. The John Who? Yes, Sard. Where's Officer Clancy? The judge gave him 10 days for vagrancy. Well, get him out. After all, he's a policeman. Okay, give me the keys. Fine, locking up our own people. No money in that. Oh, Clancy. Yeah? Come out now, Cook. Thanks, Mary. Thanks. Hello, Sard. Clancy, what are we in for? Oh, nothing. I was walking my beat for two weeks and nothing happened, so I was arrested for loitering. Well, keep out of those neighborhoods. Clancy, we received thousands of letters from indignant taxpayers who are fervently looking for a conviction in the suit murder case. What do you mean, fervently? I don't know. That's what's worrying me. Now, listen, Clancy. I want you to bring in every crook in town. Get going. Okay, Sard. I need some help. All right. How many patrol wagons have we? Four. Take three and leave me one. I'm going up seven tonight. Now, get going. Answer that, Miss Johnny Who. Hello. 110th precinct police station. Yes. She did. What time does it happen? She don't say. Does she feel rare? Yes? No. All right. You bet I will. Goodbye. What was that? I don't know. I guess I had the wrong number. I'll take that next phone. Hello. Hello, Sergeant O'Hare speaking. Who? O'Hare. O'Hare. I never do get that name. O'Hare. What is it? A bald-headed man hasn't got. Sandro. All right, then. This is Dan Drough talking. What do you want? A man was murdered here seven weeks ago. Now, what are you going to do about it? Don't be so impatient. We've been working our fingers to the bone. Oh, shooting craft, eh? You little mind reader. Listen, what are you going to do about this dead man? Well, as Hawkshaw once said, leave it to me. And as Shakespeare once said, shell fruit to be. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Why, this is an outrage. They can't do this to me. I'll call up the commissioners once. I'll see the commissioner about this. Come on, come on. Get inside. Get inside. All of you. What's this, fancy? I cleaned up every free lunch counter, pool room, and park bench in town. They're all for Spaces Characters. It looks like the gang have been trying to round up for weeks. Look at those faces. Which one of you is the leader? I am. And this is my orchestra. And what's your name? Garface Greer. Ray. I think I've been named, fancy. I don't know what it was. It's a commission to get. Wait a minute. I've got a hunch. Nobody leave this room. Ms. Donahue. Yes, sir. Get me Oxford 3131. Okay. Operator, get me Gladstone 9473. I asked for Oxford 3131. Well, this is the best way to get it. Hello. Here you are, babe. Hello. Hello, who is this? Police headquarters. Sergeant O'Hare speaking. Who? O'Hare, O'Hare. I'm not testing the name. O'Hare, what have you got on your head? My brother. We're acrobat. Wrong number. Goodbye. Oh, Sergeant. What is it, Clancy? What about this tough-looking egg over here? Maybe he knows something. He does look pretty suspicious of that. Where did you find him? Oh, hanging around the studio. Oh, yeah? Come here, you. What's your name? Bill Baker. Oh, got your gang with you, eh? What do you know about this dude's murder case? Well, Jack, this is embarrassing. I was just sitting out front watching your program. Don't give me that stuff. What do you know about the dude's murder case? Nothing. And neither do you. Where were you on the night of June 15th at 8 o'clock? In Chicago at the armor plant. Well, you can buy the finest hams. The finest hams. Stop it, Clancy. Stop it. Why? Why? You can't mention Armour here. Why not? There are more features to the general tire than any other tire on the market. It's the low pressure that makes generals blow off proof and they can be purchased on convenient terms for the general tire dealer. I guess we're even, Baker. Not yet. I came up here to get that 10 bucks you borrowed from me at the David's Theater in Pittsburgh. Don't evade the issue. Why did you kill Mr. Sue? Don't evade the 10 bucks. Why didn't you write when you promised her? Nick Spill, your captain of the mystery. What mystery? I want my 10 bucks. He'll give it to you next week, still. He just paid off ready, Alan. Quiet, Miss Donahoe. Clancy, who's that other egg over there? No, he came in with Baker. Yeah, come here, you. What's your name? My name is Bottle, sir. Bottle, eh? Your name is Bottle. What's your first name? Nicholas Murray. Nicholas Murray Bottle, I see. You know who I am, don't you? Oh, yes, yes. Jack Wynn, the tire chief. Hey, Bottle, why didn't you save that one for our program? Quiet, sir. I'm not working for you now. Add a boy, Bottle. Now, wait a minute, you. My name is O'Hare, Sergeant O'Hare. I know you, Sergeant. What's that name, sir? O'Hare, O'Hare. What have you got in your head? Liquid Vaseline. Oh, I'm going to have trouble with you, too. Ah, what is it? What are you laughing at, Bottle? What is it? It was funny when that gentleman over there said dandruff. Now listen, you two. I've had enough of this. My name is O'Hare. Get off the O'Hare. Who was that? That's Beetle, Jack. Oh, Beetle, eh? Oh, we're haunted here, too. Now listen, Beetle. Do you know who killed Mr. Toode? Yes, I do. Who did it? Mr. Toode was killed by operator 13 in the shadow. This crew will be continued next Friday night. But try and solve this mystery. Your guess is as good as ours. Play Beetle, Bottle or Jimmy. Stick around, Phil. We'll have some fun later on the program. You haven't got another bottle with you, have you? You got another bottle? Well, please, Jim. All right, play then. Which hour twins played by Jimmy Greer and his orchestra? Well, what do we do now, Phil? You know, you can't leave me flat now that you've butted in here. I don't care, Jack. It's great to see you again and talk over old time. There is. Remember the fun we had a few years ago in Kansas City when I was there playing the Opium Killer and you were laying off? Yeah. You remember in Chicago when it was vice versa? What vice versa? That was the product. That's right. But Phil, will you ever forget that theater we played together in St. Paul when we were on the same bill together? Oh, sure. Remember my name was in lights when you were kicking to the manager? Yup. Your name was in lights, all right. Yes, sir. And Jack, do you remember after your second joke, your name came down and they put Mickey Mouse up? Oh, yes. Hey, what's Mickey Mouse doing now, Phil? Oh, he's making another comedy picture. See, that's funny. Here we are, the three of us in Hollywood making pictures. Yup. Mickey Mouse and the two rats. Say, Jack, he used to play pretty good fiddle in those days. Are you still playing it? You mean violin. Well, it was fiddle in those days, yeah. Well, I still play it occasionally. Do you still use your accordion? Oh, once in a while. I bet the audience can't guess what they're going to do. Not much. Say, Phil, how about you and me playing a little violin and accordion number? You know, for old time's sake. Sure, I'll be glad to. I'll close your bottle. Oh, sure. They've been rehearsing it all week. I'll reflect. I don't know. I generally have stuff with the audience, but any number you folks would like to hear. Anything to talk about? Humorette. Okay. Doesn't make any difference to what you call humorette. Is that it, Phil? Yeah. How does that go, humorette? Humorette? Wait a minute. What do they want? Humorette or Loved by Neighbor? Loved by Neighbor. Loved by Neighbor. Loved by Neighbor. How does that go? Let's play. One of the go Loved by Neighbor. Loved by Neighbor. Never mind. Rep Assessment, Loved by Neighbor. Da, da Da dear da dear da dear da. Loved by Neighbor. Loved by Neighbor. Got your pay and Loved by Neighbor. Phil, give me A on there disclosed A. Good, almost. Good. Thanks for the hard work. We have Iks. Okay. Humorette? visited. Ready? Surprise. You're seeing. Surprise? You are. Harmer's Hammett is the best. And General Tyer beats the rest. A-da-da-dee-da. Love what I'm doing. Is that it? I told you to take up the corner. Good hot jack. Don't you think it's awfully nice when you have a piece of ice? That was Phil Baker and Jack Benny playing humorous. And humorous to anybody about the general blowout to Tyer and you will find, you will find that... play. In every field it's a specialist who is best qualified to serve the public.
