Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Ron Eckelbarger Jelo again. I know that you know what
we're going to listen to today. That's right, another episode
of Buck Binni rides again. This episode, which is entitled
Buck Binnie in in Sonata, Mexico, is the two hundred
(00:37):
and forty first Jack Benny show and it originally aired
on January seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Jello Program starrying Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and
Phil Harrison his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with
life Begins when You're in Love. Here's a letter from Alberta, Canada,
(01:10):
written by a young wife who asks me not to
mention her name, but who gives me full permission to
read you this experience of hers. My husband came home
the other day with a gelatin dessert not manufactured by
the Jello company.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Being a dutiful wife, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Mumbling something about having just purchased three packages of Jello
and let the matter drop. But I knew that this
was my opportunity to prove that I know food values
and quality and purchasing. So I made the gelatin dessert
my husband had brought home, and I also made jello.
Jello gave me a more richly flavored firmer dessert that's
set in half the time. And now friend husband is
(01:46):
thoroughly convinced that I know my business.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
We're grateful to you, young lady for sending us that letter.
It bears out what I have so often said that
Jello's fine fresh fruit flavor is tops and taste. No
other gelatin dessert can be the famous extra rich fruit
flavor of genuine Jello. But remember there is only one Jello,
so always be sure to ask for it by name.
(02:09):
Look for the big red letters on the box. They
spell Jello.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That was Life.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Begins when You're in Love, played by the orchestra. Now,
ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that violinist with the
accent on vile Jack, Benny, I hear it.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
That was very funny, Don, very humorous. Evidently you've been
listening to Fred Allen again. Oh, yes, yes I have, Jack.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Did you hear him last Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes? Don, but only with my ears. My heart wasn't
in it. Any man that can stand before a microphone
and say that I can't play a violin just isn't normal,
that's all.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But Jack, he didn't say that you couldn't play the violin.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
He said was you shouldn't play it? Oh, I say,
say Jack, Yes, Mary.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All I heard him say was you couldn't play the
violin at the.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Age of ten.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm glad you brought that up, Mary, because I've got
a photograph of myself right here, taken when I was
ten years old playing the bee on my violin, a
very difficult number here. Mary, Look, yeah, what do you
think of that?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm glad it's not a sound picture.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They didn't have him in those days.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But Jack, Now, how can we tell what number you're playing?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, if you were a musician, you'd know say who
you're working for anyway, Fred Allen or me Jello. Oh well,
let me tell you something. I played violin in concert
hall long before I knew anything about strawberry, cherry, orange,
lemon and lime. You left Dodd raspberry.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I bet the audience didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That's right. I'd give Alan Moore ammunition to work with.
Let's see that picture a minute, will you Marry? Yeah,
look at it. Phil, You're a musician. That proves conclusively
that I'm an artist. Well, Jack, anybody can have a
picture taken with a violin, Yes, Phil, But look, can't
you tell from the way I'm holding it that I
can play? You're holding it upside down?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Well, it's much.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Harder that way. Anyway, I had a small chin and
I couldn't put the violin under it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Now I put a cello under it.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's so. Can I see the picture too?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Jack? Why?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Why? Two?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Two's too?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Why do you want to see the picture? Kenny?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, everybody else is getting last out of it.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, you don't need it. I don't get cute, Kenny.
And another thing, Fred Allen said I only had two
strings on my fiddle. Imagine that's what he called my
strata areas a fiddle?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Is it a strata area?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
That's not the point anyway? You came marry you? Connor? Well,
how many strings do you see in this picture? At four?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
See s three on violin and one around your way?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, I was to hold my trousers up. I was
a poor boy in those days. It it burns me
up Alan picking on a poor, defenseless boy. Anyway, I
don't want to discuss it any further. I should stoop
to argue with a toothpaste salesman.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Well, you could use one.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I said, toothpaste, not two. Paid. Now let's forget it.
Say Kenny, I want you to sing your song earlier tonight.
It's very important, okay, Jack, come in, Benny. Yes, I
want to take this opportunity of wishing you and your
company are very very happy New Year. Say what is it?
(06:10):
How long are you going to keep coming here until
I get paid?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Goodbye?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
See is he going to stick around all year?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It looks like it things Kenny man.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There's a little older that's covered with mark where I
hold your hands tenderly. I often go there too.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Gays had a cross and you are with me. Oh,
I'd love to hear the organ.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In the chapel.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
In the moon light while's falling on the ye.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
With the ormand in my.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Oh, I'd love to hear you with that you love
me tenderly and the love light in your fall ever
a child till the raw fans to lasher fill the
(07:46):
organ turns raw. If you never come, I still me
there kill the no light turn fool.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'd love to hear the cud.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
In the chapel.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
In the moon has naxteen all promise me.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
For ever.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Oh, I'd love to hear the quar in the chapel in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That taple in the moonlight, sung by Kenny Baker and
very good too. And now, ladies and gentlemen, at this moment,
we have a great treatment store for you and a
real surprise a guest star who needs no introduction. No doubt,
most of you have read about the recent open golf
tournament held right here in Los Angeles at Griffith Park.
This tournament was won by mister Harry Cooper, whose sensation
(09:23):
of last Minute's first will go down in golf history.
His playing throughout the entire match was nothing short of phenomenal,
and yet mister Cooper remains the same modest, unassuming fellow
he has always been. And so now, ladies and gentlemen,
without further ado, it is my pleasure to present to
you the man who was hit in the face with
a divot dug up by the club held in the
(09:46):
hands of Harry Cooper, none other then mister Oscar T
four two. Mister Fortou, it is a rare privilege to
(10:07):
have you appear on our program.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I know how you feel now as I understand it
a week ago Saturday. You were hit with a dibbot
that is a clump of dirt thrown up by Harry
Cooper's club. Is that correct? Yes? Indeed. Now tell me,
mister fort how how did you happen to get hit
in the face with a dibbot? I forgot to pivot. Well,
(10:30):
I can hardly belive it. And would you mind telling
me exactly how and where you were hit? You'd be
the kindly.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, I was standing in the fairway facing mister Cooper,
I see, and when he struck the ball, he dug
up some turf which caught me to plunk in the
kiss it. Oh oh yeah. In fact, some of the
dirt went in my nostrils and some of it went
in my mouth. Well, well, and what did you say
when that happened. I've got you under my skin? Well
(11:01):
you showed great presence of mine. Yes, indeed, mister.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And gied goes to town.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yes, tell me, mister Fortu. Do you do anything else
besides getting hits from the phase.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Oh very little, of course.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Once in a while I like a good kick in
the pen. Oh you get one if you hang around here,
quiet Livingston.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, sir, it's been a great honor of having you
with us, and I hope we'll see you soon again
with more dirt than ever on your face. Well, thank you,
and here's more. Yeah. Well, I must hurry now as
I'm going to see.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
A movie and it starts in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh what's the name of the picture?
Speaker 6 (11:42):

Will our sponsor tell us where to get off? Tune
in next Sunday night and find out play boy. This
(28:27):
is the time of the year when it's usually difficult
to get something new and different into your menus. So
here's one suggestion that is found to give you that
welcome touch of variety. Serve Salad Supreme. It's a delicious
jello salad. Here's how you make it. Dissolve a package
of lion yellow and one fine of hot water and
the child and slightly thickened, then pulled in one cup
(28:48):
of dice tarnapples one cup of chopped cabbage and four
finely chopped stuff olives. After that, simply mold this grand
combination and serve it on crisp lettuce with some real mayonnaise.
It makes a wonderful salad one that will add variety
to any meal. But just be sure you make this
salad with genuine Jello or only Jello brings you that mellow,
(29:09):
extra rich fruit flavor. Remember to ask for the real thing.
Insist on the one and only genuine.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Jello, the last number of the sixteenth program in the
(29:44):
New Jello Series, and we'll be with you again next
Sunday night. Meanwhile, I want to thank all of our

Earl Stantona Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
There were two guests on today's show. The first was
the man who had been hit by Harry Cooper's divott.
Harry Cooper was a pro golfer in the twenties and thirties.
The tournament was probably the nineteen thirty seven Los Angeles
Open that began on Friday, January eighth and ended on
Monday the eleventh, So sometime during that time is probably
(31:06):
when this gentleman got hit by Harry Cooper's divott. Interesting
that they brought him on the show. Next, we had
Buck Jones, who was a real cowboy in his early years.
Then he transitioned to become a Hollywood stuntman in westerns.
He then got his first starring role in nineteen twenty.
(31:29):
He has over one hundred and sixty film credits to
his name. He also had his own radio show called
Hoof Beats. Buck Jones died on November twenty eight, nineteen
forty two. He was one of the four hundred and
ninety two victims of the Coconut Grove nightclub fire in Boston, Massachusetts.
He was only fifty years old. Pleasing your questions and

In the words of artist I way Way, a small
act is worth a million thoughts.
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your host,
Ron Eckelbarger Jelo again. I know that you know what
we're going to listen to today. That's right, another episode
of Buck Binni rides again. This episode, which is entitled
Buck Binnie in in Sonata, Mexico, is the two hundred
(00:37):
and forty first Jack Benny show and it originally aired
on January seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Jello Program starrying Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and
Phil Harrison his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with
life Begins when You're in Love. Here's a letter from Alberta, Canada,
(01:10):
written by a young wife who asks me not to
mention her name, but who gives me full permission to
read you this experience of hers. My husband came home
the other day with a gelatin dessert not manufactured by
the Jello company.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Being a dutiful wife, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Mumbling something about having just purchased three packages of Jello
and let the matter drop. But I knew that this
was my opportunity to prove that I know food values
and quality and purchasing. So I made the gelatin dessert
my husband had brought home, and I also made jello.
Jello gave me a more richly flavored firmer dessert that's
set in half the time. And now friend husband is
(01:46):
thoroughly convinced that I know my business.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
We're grateful to you, young lady for sending us that letter.
It bears out what I have so often said that
Jello's fine fresh fruit flavor is tops and taste. No
other gelatin dessert can be the famous extra rich fruit
flavor of genuine Jello. But remember there is only one Jello,
so always be sure to ask for it by name.
(02:09):
Look for the big red letters on the box. They
spell Jello.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That was Life.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Begins when You're in Love, played by the orchestra. Now,
ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that violinist with the
accent on vile Jack, Benny, I hear it.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
That was very funny, Don, very humorous. Evidently you've been
listening to Fred Allen again. Oh, yes, yes I have, Jack.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Did you hear him last Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes? Don, but only with my ears. My heart wasn't
in it. Any man that can stand before a microphone
and say that I can't play a violin just isn't normal,
that's all.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But Jack, he didn't say that you couldn't play the violin.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
He said was you shouldn't play it? Oh, I say,
say Jack, Yes, Mary.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
All I heard him say was you couldn't play the
violin at the.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Age of ten.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm glad you brought that up, Mary, because I've got
a photograph of myself right here, taken when I was
ten years old playing the bee on my violin, a
very difficult number here. Mary, Look, yeah, what do you
think of that?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm glad it's not a sound picture.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
They didn't have him in those days.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But Jack, Now, how can we tell what number you're playing?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, if you were a musician, you'd know say who
you're working for anyway, Fred Allen or me Jello. Oh well,
let me tell you something. I played violin in concert
hall long before I knew anything about strawberry, cherry, orange,
lemon and lime. You left Dodd raspberry.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I bet the audience didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That's right. I'd give Alan Moore ammunition to work with.
Let's see that picture a minute, will you Marry? Yeah,
look at it. Phil, You're a musician. That proves conclusively
that I'm an artist. Well, Jack, anybody can have a
picture taken with a violin, Yes, Phil, But look, can't
you tell from the way I'm holding it that I
can play? You're holding it upside down?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Well, it's much.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Harder that way. Anyway, I had a small chin and
I couldn't put the violin under it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Now I put a cello under it.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's so. Can I see the picture too?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Jack? Why?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Why? Two?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Two's too?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Why do you want to see the picture? Kenny?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, everybody else is getting last out of it.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, you don't need it. I don't get cute, Kenny.
And another thing, Fred Allen said I only had two
strings on my fiddle. Imagine that's what he called my
strata areas a fiddle?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Is it a strata area?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
That's not the point anyway? You came marry you? Connor? Well,
how many strings do you see in this picture? At four?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
See s three on violin and one around your way?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, I was to hold my trousers up. I was
a poor boy in those days. It it burns me
up Alan picking on a poor, defenseless boy. Anyway, I
don't want to discuss it any further. I should stoop
to argue with a toothpaste salesman.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Well, you could use one.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I said, toothpaste, not two. Paid. Now let's forget it.
Say Kenny, I want you to sing your song earlier tonight.
It's very important, okay, Jack, come in, Benny. Yes, I
want to take this opportunity of wishing you and your
company are very very happy New Year. Say what is it?
(06:10):
How long are you going to keep coming here until
I get paid?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Goodbye?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
See is he going to stick around all year?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It looks like it things Kenny man.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There's a little older that's covered with mark where I
hold your hands tenderly. I often go there too.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Gays had a cross and you are with me. Oh,
I'd love to hear the organ.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In the chapel.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
In the moon light while's falling on the ye.
Speaker 3 (07:15):

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Oh, I'd love to hear you with that you love
me tenderly and the love light in your fall ever
a child till the raw fans to lasher fill the
(07:46):
organ turns raw. If you never come, I still me
there kill the no light turn fool.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'd love to hear the cud.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
In the chapel.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
In the moon has naxteen all promise me.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
For ever.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Oh, I'd love to hear the quar in the chapel in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That taple in the moonlight, sung by Kenny Baker and
very good too. And now, ladies and gentlemen, at this moment,
we have a great treatment store for you and a
real surprise a guest star who needs no introduction. No doubt,
most of you have read about the recent open golf
tournament held right here in Los Angeles at Griffith Park.
This tournament was won by mister Harry Cooper, whose sensation
(09:23):
of last Minute's first will go down in golf history.
His playing throughout the entire match was nothing short of phenomenal,
and yet mister Cooper remains the same modest, unassuming fellow
he has always been. And so now, ladies and gentlemen,
without further ado, it is my pleasure to present to
you the man who was hit in the face with
a divot dug up by the club held in the
(09:46):
hands of Harry Cooper, none other then mister Oscar T
four two. Mister Fortou, it is a rare privilege to
(10:07):
have you appear on our program.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I know how you feel now as I understand it
a week ago Saturday. You were hit with a dibbot
that is a clump of dirt thrown up by Harry
Cooper's club. Is that correct? Yes? Indeed. Now tell me,
mister fort how how did you happen to get hit
in the face with a dibbot? I forgot to pivot. Well,
(10:30):
I can hardly belive it. And would you mind telling
me exactly how and where you were hit? You'd be
the kindly.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, I was standing in the fairway facing mister Cooper,
I see, and when he struck the ball, he dug
up some turf which caught me to plunk in the
kiss it. Oh oh yeah. In fact, some of the
dirt went in my nostrils and some of it went
in my mouth. Well, well, and what did you say
when that happened. I've got you under my skin? Well
(11:01):
you showed great presence of mine. Yes, indeed, mister.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
And gied goes to town.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yes, tell me, mister Fortu. Do you do anything else
besides getting hits from the phase.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Oh very little, of course.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Once in a while I like a good kick in
the pen. Oh you get one if you hang around here,
quiet Livingston.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, sir, it's been a great honor of having you
with us, and I hope we'll see you soon again
with more dirt than ever on your face. Well, thank you,
and here's more. Yeah. Well, I must hurry now as
I'm going to see.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
A movie and it starts in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh what's the name of the picture?

We'll fuck get off Buck, we'll handy get off the floor.
Will our sponsor tell us where to get off? Tune
in next Sunday night and find out play boy. This
(28:27):
is the time of the year when it's usually difficult
to get something new and different into your menus. So
here's one suggestion that is found to give you that
welcome touch of variety. Serve Salad Supreme. It's a delicious
jello salad. Here's how you make it. Dissolve a package
of lion yellow and one fine of hot water and
the child and slightly thickened, then pulled in one cup
(28:48):
of dice tarnapples one cup of chopped cabbage and four
finely chopped stuff olives. After that, simply mold this grand
combination and serve it on crisp lettuce with some real mayonnaise.
It makes a wonderful salad one that will add variety
to any meal. But just be sure you make this
salad with genuine Jello or only Jello brings you that mellow,
(29:09):
extra rich fruit flavor. Remember to ask for the real thing.
Insist on the one and only genuine.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Jello, the last number of the sixteenth program in the
(29:44):
New Jello Series, and we'll be with you again next
Sunday night. Meanwhile, I want to thank all of our
guests this evening. Hope we had as many listeners. Bud
Jones of Universal, Andy Devine of Likewise, Patsy Flick of

Earl Stantona Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
There were two guests on today's show. The first was
the man who had been hit by Harry Cooper's divott.
Harry Cooper was a pro golfer in the twenties and thirties.
The tournament was probably the nineteen thirty seven Los Angeles
Open that began on Friday, January eighth and ended on
Monday the eleventh, So sometime during that time is probably
(31:06):
when this gentleman got hit by Harry Cooper's divott. Interesting
that they brought him on the show. Next, we had
Buck Jones, who was a real cowboy in his early years.
Then he transitioned to become a Hollywood stuntman in westerns.
He then got his first starring role in nineteen twenty.
(31:29):
He has over one hundred and sixty film credits to
his name. He also had his own radio show called
Hoof Beats. Buck Jones died on November twenty eight, nineteen
forty two. He was one of the four hundred and
ninety two victims of the Coconut Grove nightclub fire in Boston, Massachusetts.
He was only fifty years old. Pleasing your questions and

comments to host at CLASSICCOMEDYOTR dot com until next time.
In the words of artist I way Way, a small
act is worth a million thoughts.
