Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Roniclberger Jelo Again. Jack Bennie is still angry with bandleader
Phil Harris because he was late to the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Again.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This looks like the beginning of a feud. The real
reason for this strife, however, might be because Phil is
more popular with the ladies than Jack is. M This
episode is entitled Buck Benny Rides Again, Part three. It
is the two hundred and thirty fourth Jack Benny Show
(00:48):
and it originally aired on November twenty nine, nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Hey e.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Oh, The Jello Program starring Jacky with Mary Livingston and
Phil Harrison his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with
Curly Top from the picture of the same name. First
(01:17):
impressions can be mighty important, of course, but as a rule,
last impressions are even more important, and the last impression
of a meal depends largely upon the dessert. That's why
it's such a good idea to serve jello and be
sure of a happy ending. Jello is lovely to look at,
for one thing, its bright, glowing color is wonderfully appeeling.
But that's only a first impression. Your final impression of
(01:39):
jello comes after you've tasted it, and from then on
you'll never forget It's rich, delicious flavor, the flavor of
frish ripe fruit skillfully blended. But remember Jello, and only
Jello brings you that extra rich fruit flavor. So whenever
you want a good looking, swell tasting, inexpensive dessert, get jello.
(02:00):
But the real thing insist on genuine Jello.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
And Now, ladies and.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Gentlemen, through the courtesy of NBC, we bring you our
master of ceremonies, through the courtesy of Paramount Jack Benny,

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, isn't it a polite business vote? You know, Don,
we ought to always open our program with a sweet
and friendly spirit. It shows the brotherly feeling that we
exist in our little group.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yes, Jack, I agree with you, of.

that knocking at my heart? For my forthcoming paramount picture
College Holidays laid by Phil Harris's meal tickets with a
dashing maestro on his way to work? I hope say jang, Hello, Kenny,
I just bumped into Phil Harris in drug store. Oh
what did he say? He didn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I said, pardon me.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, that was quite an entry sting conversation. Did he
infer that there was a remote possibility of his appearing
in this vicinity in the near future? How you just
said that to mix me up? Yeah? Come in, pardon me.

Where do you keep your soda? Fountain? Fell in the
living room? Yes, you funny man? I had you pooled
on the telephone anyway, I called you by your name,

no kidding. How did you know I wasn't May West? Well,
in the first place, it sounded like Jack Benny, I see.
And in the second place, May West was with me
at the time. Oh well, at first I thought my
(11:22):
imitation was bad. Anyway, now that you finally got here,
play Kenny song? Will you okay? That is, unless you've
got a date with Garbo? She'll wait?
Speaker 6 (11:35):

You said it. Well, anyway, now that we're all understand
each other, Tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen, is our feature attraction
for this program. We are going to deviate from the
rather strenuous and noisy type of wild West drama which
we have been presenting lately. Tonight we will go from
the ridiculous to the sub lamet by offering a refined, quiet,
(16:45):
little English drawing room play entitled Lady Windemere's Fan Dance.
The locale is Worcestershire on the sauce the country seat

Speaker 6 (17:40):
For two weeks now, you've been trying to do your
Western drama Buck Benny Rides again, but something always happened,
so please finish it tonight. As my husband is just
crazy about Western things. Right now he is sitting at
the radio eating a Western sandwich and spilling ketchup on
his west Billy, please grant my request and we'll be
(18:00):
listening in sign missus w W. Westover four four six
Western Avenue. What do you gonna do about it? Jack?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, Mary, we can't disappoint fans like mister and Missus Westover.

and we will have to postpone our English drawing room dramma.
But all I say, old fellow, you can't do this

Yellow chocolate pudding a new product that hits a new
high and real old fashioned goodness. Jello chocolate pudding is
far smoother, creamier, more chocolatey, and what's more, it has
that grand homemade taste that's always so welcome everywhere. Jello
chocolate pudding is wonderfully easy and economical to make too.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Here's all you do.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Just mix the contents of one package with some milk
in the top of your double boiler and let it
cook till smooth and luscious. It only takes about ten minutes.
Then you need only wait until the mixture is cooled
before serving it in sherbet glasses and bringing it to
your table. Delicious dessert trial. Jello chocolate pudding selves for
the same low price as jello, and one package will
(29:06):
give you six servings, and that's certainly a lot of
goodness for very little expense. So ask your grocer for
jell o chocolate pudding in the morning. If he hasn't
put it in stock yet, be sure he orders.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It for you. Remember the name Jello Chocolate Pudding.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
This is the last number of the ninth program in
the New Jello series. And I reckon. We'll be with
you again next Sunday night at the same time. Come along, Dazi,

Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Roniclberger Jelo Again. Jack Bennie is still angry with bandleader
Phil Harris because he was late to the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Again.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This looks like the beginning of a feud. The real
reason for this strife, however, might be because Phil is
more popular with the ladies than Jack is. M This
episode is entitled Buck Benny Rides Again, Part three. It
is the two hundred and thirty fourth Jack Benny Show
(00:48):
and it originally aired on November twenty nine, nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Hey e.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Oh, The Jello Program starring Jacky with Mary Livingston and
Phil Harrison his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with
Curly Top from the picture of the same name. First
(01:17):
impressions can be mighty important, of course, but as a rule,
last impressions are even more important, and the last impression
of a meal depends largely upon the dessert. That's why
it's such a good idea to serve jello and be
sure of a happy ending. Jello is lovely to look at,
for one thing, its bright, glowing color is wonderfully appeeling.
But that's only a first impression. Your final impression of
(01:39):
jello comes after you've tasted it, and from then on
you'll never forget It's rich, delicious flavor, the flavor of
frish ripe fruit skillfully blended. But remember Jello, and only
Jello brings you that extra rich fruit flavor. So whenever
you want a good looking, swell tasting, inexpensive dessert, get jello.
(02:00):
But the real thing insist on genuine Jello.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
And Now, ladies and.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Gentlemen, through the courtesy of NBC, we bring you our
master of ceremonies, through the courtesy of Paramount Jack Benny,
through the courtesy of Jellow.

Oh no, Jack, you should be the recipients.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, isn't it a polite business vote? You know, Don,
we ought to always open our program with a sweet
and friendly spirit. It shows the brotherly feeling that we
exist in our little group.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yes, Jack, I agree with you, of.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Course, Don. There are times when the way you introduce
me it makes me feel like socking you right in
the nose.

little while ago and said that he might be delayed.

make up his mind whether he wants his girls or
his job. Hello Jack, Hello Mary? How'd you get here

College Holidays laid by Phil Harris's meal tickets with a
dashing maestro on his way to work? I hope say jang, Hello, Kenny,

what did he say? He didn't say anything.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I said, pardon me.

Well, that was quite an entry sting conversation. Did he
infer that there was a remote possibility of his appearing
in this vicinity in the near future? How you just

no kidding. How did you know I wasn't May West? Well,
in the first place, it sounded like Jack Benny, I see.
And in the second place, May West was with me
at the time. Oh well, at first I thought my
(11:22):
imitation was bad. Anyway, now that you finally got here,
play Kenny song? Will you okay? That is, unless you've
got a date with Garbo? She'll wait?

You said it. Well, anyway, now that we're all understand
each other, Tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen, is our feature attraction
for this program. We are going to deviate from the
rather strenuous and noisy type of wild West drama which
we have been presenting lately. Tonight we will go from
the ridiculous to the sub lamet by offering a refined, quiet,
(16:45):
little English drawing room play entitled Lady Windemere's Fan Dance.
The locale is Worcestershire on the sauce the country seat
of Lore and Lady that's not my knees come in

last week's programs.

For two weeks now.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I just added me things from there.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
For two weeks now, you've been trying to do your
Western drama Buck Benny Rides again, but something always happened,
so please finish it tonight. As my husband is just
crazy about Western things. Right now he is sitting at
the radio eating a Western sandwich and spilling ketchup on
his west Billy, please grant my request and we'll be
(18:00):
listening in sign missus w W. Westover four four six
Western Avenue. What do you gonna do about it? Jack?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, Mary, we can't disappoint fans like mister and Missus Westover.
So tonight, folks, we will continue with Buck Benny Rides again,
and we will have to postpone our English drawing room dramma.
But all I say, old fellow, you can't do this
to me. Come back next week very well, cheerio these actors,
Well boys, let's get into a real Western move. Kenny

Always do well. You talk enough of the palamar in
your own programs. Oh boy, that was a humsy girl. Yeah,

think of an answer to that one.

third time, we begin our Western drama. Buck Benny rides
again or three weeks on a horse. I will play

(21:37):
Well I was close enough?
Speaker 6 (21:40):

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yes, Kenny Baker will play the part of my horse

finest states in the Union, even if it did only
get one star. The opening scene is the ranch house

a long time.

Yellow chocolate pudding a new product that hits a new
high and real old fashioned goodness. Jello chocolate pudding is
far smoother, creamier, more chocolatey, and what's more, it has
that grand homemade taste that's always so welcome everywhere. Jello
chocolate pudding is wonderfully easy and economical to make too.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Here's all you do.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Just mix the contents of one package with some milk
in the top of your double boiler and let it
cook till smooth and luscious. It only takes about ten minutes.
Then you need only wait until the mixture is cooled
before serving it in sherbet glasses and bringing it to
your table. Delicious dessert trial. Jello chocolate pudding selves for
the same low price as jello, and one package will
(29:06):
give you six servings, and that's certainly a lot of
goodness for very little expense. So ask your grocer for
jell o chocolate pudding in the morning. If he hasn't
put it in stock yet, be sure he orders.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It for you. Remember the name Jello Chocolate Pudding.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
This is the last number of the ninth program in
the New Jello series. And I reckon. We'll be with
