 J-E-L-L-O The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Johnny Green in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with she shall have music from the picture of the same name. Music Summer's really with us now. Today's the day when summer becomes official. But hot weather isn't so hard to bear nowadays. Air conditioning gives us cooler movie houses, restaurants and trains, and jello gives us cooler meals. For jello is deeply refreshing, delightfully cool and satisfying. It's also a very quick simple dessert to prepare. You can make jello well ahead of time in the morning and then pop it into your refrigerator, or you can make it on short notice because it's set so quickly. And when you bring jello to the table, you've of every reason to be proud. For whether you serve it plain or in fancy molds, whether you put fruit in it or add whipped cream, jello's delicious true fruit flavor is always a very welcome part of the meal. Of all gelatin desserts, jello and only jello brings you that extra rich fruit taste. Use it to brighten your main use this summer. Use it whenever you want a warm weather salad or dessert. Only just be sure you get genuine jello. Look for the big red letters on the box. They spell jello. Now we bring to you for the last time this season that worn out master of ceremonies, Jack Benny. Hello again. This is Jack Benny coming to you slightly frayed, a bit weary and fresh as a daisy in an ass jam. And believe me, folks, I'm sure due for a vacation. Well, aren't you going to take one, Jack? No, Don, I can't. You know, I'm going to make that picture for Paramount. I accepted that butler's part they gave me. Well, that's practically a vacation. Oh, I wouldn't say that. You know, they promise to build it up a little. What are you planning to do this summer, Don? I'm staying right on the jello summer show, Jack. I'm going to take your place for the next three months. Oh, you're going to be the master of ceremonies like it back. Yes, sir. And oh boy, I can hardly wait. Well, all I can say is good luck to you, Don. And I hope you do a good job. Of course, not too good. After all, I do want to come back. Don't worry, Jack. I'll hold myself down a little. Oh, thanks, pal. Thanks. Hello, Jack. Oh, hello, Mary. Mary, you know, Don Wilkins is going to be the master of ceremonies on our summer program. He's stepping into my shoes. He is. Gee, Jack, what are you going to do? Oh, I'll just walk around in my stocking feet. What are your plans for the summer, Mary? Oh, I haven't decided yet. I don't know whether to go to Honolulu, China, or buy an ice cream cone. Well, if I were you, Mary, I'd get an ice cream cone. Sure. I can always go to China. I think so. Hello, Jack. Happy Father's Day. Oh, hello, Kenny. Say, this is Father's Day, isn't it? I forgot all about it. Isn't that awful? Gee, you know, I intended to send Dad a pie or something, but it slipped my mind. I certainly am negligent. What does negligent mean, Jack? Keep. It does not. Anyway, Mary, did you remember Father's Day? Did I? I just sent my mother the swellest book. That's fine. Why'd you send your mother a book on Father's Day? Papa can't read. Mary, you really need a vacation. What are you going to do this summer, Kenny? Oh, I'm going to take a long rest, Jack. I'm pretty tired. Well, I don't blame you. I know how you feel singing a whole song every Sunday night. See, I don't see how you do it. Yes, now I have to stand up to sing too. Next year we'll get him a couch. Well, Kenny, you take a real nice vacation and relax. Oh, Jack. Yes, I'm. Johnny Green wants to know if you brought your violin with you tonight. Oh, he does, uh, do you hear that, Mary? Johnny wants to know if I brought my violin. Maybe he wants you to play with the orchestra. Yeah, he waited until the last program. Oh, Johnny, were you looking for me? Yes. Say, Jack, did you bring your violin along tonight? Yes, sir. I have it right here. You want me to play the next number with you? No, we're looking for a fly swatter. Oh, yeah. Well, I'm going to hand you, fellas, a surprise of your life. This summer I'm going to take a few more lessons and brush up a little bit. Then you'll see. A few more? Go on, you never took any violin lessons. I did too. Then your teacher didn't. Oh, well, let's drop it already. Now, Jack, now, Jack, don't let it get your goat. This being our last program, we made up our minds to give you a good revving, but really and truly it was all in fun and we love you. Don't we, fellas? You bet. Say, Don, I don't mind. I see you did that together very good. After all, you know, it's part of the program. By the way, Johnny has something particularly that he wants to say to you. He has. What is it, Johnny? We have a little surprise for you, Jack. You've been a great guy to work with and you've always treated this square and... Oh, well. Well, so on behalf of the boys in the orchestra and the members of the cast and myself, I want to present you with this pure Irish linen handkerchief. Oh, gee, a handkerchief. Oh, boy. I really don't know what to say. It's things like this that made Scotland famous. Did all, did all of you, did all of you give it to me? Yes, Jack. The orchestra boys, each chipped in two dollars and the rest of the cabs gave from five to ten dollars a piece. Gee, you whiz. How much was the handkerchief? A quarter. What happened to the rest of the money? Well, we had about 70 dollars left and we didn't know what else to get you. So we all went out and had a good time. Well, I certainly do want to thank you for the handkerchief and the good time. And I want to thank you, Jack, for giving us inspiration to carry on. And I want to thank you, Jack, for giving us help and encouragement. And I want to thank Jello for giving us six delicious flavors, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. Why don't you say that for next week? You'll be running the program yourself. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank Kenny Baker in advance for singing the next number called Would You from the Motion Picture San Francisco. Sing, Kenneth. I was Kenny Baker singing Would You and for the last time this season, Kenny, I'm going to say that was very good. And he stood up to sing it too. Say, Jack, what about your picture? You settled that argument with Paramount, didn't you? Oh, sure. They finally gave in. You know, we start shooting tomorrow. Who's going to be your leading lady? That's the only trouble, Mary. I'm having such a hard time finding one. That's funny. I didn't have any trouble. I just found the cutest leading man. Oh, boy, is he handsome. But, Mary, you're not going to make a picture. Who wants to? Oh, I see. Who's that knocking on the door, Mary? The sound effects man. Never mind that. See who it is. Uh, come in. I'd like to see Mr. Benny, please. Tell him it's Mr. Lyson. Oh, hello, Mr. Lyson. Come right in. Oh, Mary, this is Mitch Lyson. You know, the man who's going to direct my picture. Hello, Mary. Hello. Gee, I wonder if he likes me too. What brings you here, Mr. Lyson? Well, Jack, you know, we start shooting the picture tomorrow. I thought I'd come over and get a few things straightened up. Oh, that's fine. I brought my cameraman along. This is Mr. Sparkle. We call him Sparky. Oh, how do you do? How are you? Who's that third fellow, Jack? Quiet. That's the camera. Gee, I... Gee, I hope, uh, I hope I'll photograph all right. I think you'll be okay, Jack. Course, your hair is a little gray, but we can photograph you with your hat on. A butler with a hat on. Well, won't I, won't I be too tall? Well, you can take your shoes off. That's fine. A barefooted butler with a hat on. It must be a society picture. Mary. And another thing. Those ears should go back a little. My ears. Well, can't you pull my hat down over them? Well, you can try it. Now, let me see. Your eyes seem to be a little too close together. My eyes. There goes that hat down again. Quiet. Quiet. What do you think, Sparky? Oh, I guess we can move his eyes back about an inch. Now, wait a minute, boys. Anything for... anything for art, but don't get him too far back. We won't. You know what I mean. I don't want people whispering in my eyes. You know, Sparky, his legs could be straightened out a little. Huh, a lot. Gee, Jack, outside of your face and figure, you're perfect. Yeah. Now, Jack, you know we shoot your scene tomorrow. I want you to be up in your part. Do you think you know it? I think so. Let me hear it. Now, remember, the lovers are seated on the Davenport. And as the phone rings, the butler walks in. That's me. Yeah. Now, read your line. All right. Madam, you're wanted on the phone. How's that, Mr. Lysen? Take it again. Madam, you're wanted on the phone. How's that? Well, I think you can get more out of it. Can I hear it again, please? Madam, you're wanted on the phone. Was that better? Now, look, Jack, you read the line all right, but you're not living. I'm not. No, you must think of what you're saying. Now, when you walk into that room, whom do you see? Somebody else getting the job. Mary, let me guess it, will you? I see my employer's wife in the arms of her lover. Exactly. And you have a message for her, haven't you? Yes, sir. It's an important message, isn't it? Yes, sir. Then let it come out. Now, come on, try it again. Relax. Relax! Madam, madam, you are wanted on the phone. How's that? That's not it at all. Now, let me try and explain the situation. I wish you would. Now, first of all, where is this woman wanted? On the phone. Exactly. She's not wanted on the chandelier, is she? No, sir. No, sir. And she's not wanted on the ceiling, is she? No, sir. Not unless she's a fly. Please, Mary. She's wanted on the phone. Yes, sir. Then say it. For the love of my sir. Madam, you're wanted on the say it. The phone! The phone! The phone is wanted on the say it. Oh, I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Gee, it got me all excited. The phone, the phone. Gee, what a phony part. You got me all mixed up. Now, listen, Lyson. You've been lousin' up this part wrong. In the first place, Mr. In the first place, Mr. Gensler said my part would be bigger. Oh, he did, eh? Yes. All right, I'll tell you what. Instead of saying phone, say telephone. Well, thanks. Madam, you're wanted on the telephone. Say, Jack, I know how you can make your part even bigger. Oh. Well, if the madam gets a divorce, you could say, Madam Ozel, you're wanted on the telephone. That's right. If she happens to be French, I can say, Madam Ozel, for mom and tears, you're wanted on the telephone. Oh, wait a minute, Jack. Don't try to hold the picture. I'm not. Don't worry. Come in. Hello, friends. What are you doing here? I got a very important message for you. What is it? You're wanted on the telephone. Eureka! That's it. That's the way I want that line read. Come up here, you. Are you alluding to me? Yes, you, Slappy, want you to read my line. All right, but make it Slappy. I left a hot iron on Mr. Gensler's fence. I wish Gensler was in him. Now look, I want you to show Mr. Benny how to read that line. What line? You're wanted on the telephone. Wait a minute, Mr. Lysa. This guy is no actor. He's a tailor. That's me, Robert Taylor. Imagine already young playing opposite Sleperman. What can I lose? Well, we're losing a lot of time. Now would you please try Mr. Benny's line. Madam, you're wanted on the telephone. Madam, you're wanted on the telephone. Fire again. Madam, you're wanted on the telephone. Want some more, please? Madam, you're wanted on the telephone. Hey, that's fine, Slep. Is that the way you want me to read that line, Mr. Lysa? That's what I want. That's what I want. Play, young soul. Tonight, Jack Benny starts his summer vacation. So do Mary and Kenny, Johnny Green and Sleperman. We'll miss all of you, Jack, but just the same as grand to know that you're coming back to us in the fall. When you return October 4th, we hope you'll be good and rested after a swell summer, all ready for another successful Jell-O year. And right now, we want to thank you listeners for helping to make this year such a success. You've shown us that you enjoy these programs, and you've shown us in the most practical way of all, you've gone out and bought Jell-O. We hope you'll keep right on buying it, and we also hope you'll keep right on tuning in at the same time, because Jell-O and I are going to stay on the air. Next Sunday, we start the Jell-O summer show. I'll be on Handus Master of Ceremonies, and who knows, I may even buy the little time to tell you a thing or two about those six delicious flavors. And because we want to keep you in good humor during the summer, we're bringing you Tim Ryan and Irene Noblette, a comedy team of radio, stage and screen. You will keep you so happy you'll forget all about the heat. In addition, you'll hear the smooth rhythms of Don Voorhees and his new Jell-O Orchestra and the thrilling voice of Morton Bow, our tenor. Be with us on our opening night. Listen in next Sunday, same time and station, to the new Jell-O summer show. Tim Ryan, Irene Noblette, Morton Bow, Don Voorhees, and yours truly, Don Wilson. This is the last number of the last program in the present Jell-O series, and we'll be back again on Sunday, October 4th. And don't forget, folks, the new Jell-O summer show next Sunday night at the same time, starring Tim Ryan and Irene Noblette, Don Voorhees' orchestra, and Morton Bow, with Don Wilson as your master of ceremonies. I know you like it. I want to take this opportunity of thanking Harry W. Kahn, my author for his splendid cooperation. I also want to thank Ed Beloyne and Bill Morrow, who have helped me write my radio programs for the past 12 weeks during Mr. Kahn's illness. I want to thank Curtis Mitchell and the readers of Radio Guide for making it possible for me to win the Radio Guide contest again this year. Gee, it's a thrill. Say, Jack. What, Mary? Why don't you thank me for something? All right, thanks, Mary. Good night, folks, and many thanks for listening in. J-E-L-L-O The arrangement of Love and Bloom, heard on tonight's J-E-L-O program, was made for by Johnny Green. This program is coming from the NDC Studios in Hollywood.
