to go back to New York once in a while,
I don't know, you, renew old acquaintances and see all
your old pals and Bill Baker, Jack Pearl, Goodie as
Ed Sullivan, Fred Allen Quiet. I'm trying to avoid his name, and.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I don't blame you Jack.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Did you hear him last Wednesday when he kept saying
how tight and cheap you are?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah? Oh wait a minute. So that's where Phil Harris
got his idea for those smart cracks about me. I
knew he couldn't be original.
Speaker 3 (09:52):

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Minute, don come here just a second.
Speaker 6 (09:54):

You know Alan talks about me being tight. Were you
ever invited to a party at Fred Allen's house?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, Jack, No what?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, he's the kind of a guy that fills you
full of herrings and then makes you pay for a
glass of water. No kidding, really the fact, that's a fact.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I got a drink there for nothing, but I swallowed
a carnation.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Well, I'm not surprised anyway, Ladies and gentlemen, since those
gags will be tough to follow. Phil Harris and his
Archester will render a number of titles. He ain't got rhythm?
How about playing Phil? Okay, Jack, as soon as I
get my baton, you what my Boston?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's better?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
You killed my gag. There's no r in that either way,
fell Fastidia, we ain't got rhythm from on the Avenue,
(12:30):
conducted by Phil Harris, who didn't know the number was
over until the boys laid down their instruments. Thanks Jack,
I like you too well, some orchestra leader, and I
I mean if you haven't got a baton, I mean
I would a laid do. For our feature attraction. Tonight,
(12:51):
we are going to present a sophisticated English drama entitled
Lady Guinevere's Bracelet or Ring around the Ristie. I will
play the part of Lord Stanley beaver Hat Boss. Mary
Livington will be Millicent, my granddaughter, and Phil Harris will
be Phyllison, my grandfather. The scene is the ancestral mansion
(13:14):
of the beaver Hat located at Hamhock on the Tower, Crowd, England. Now,
before going into this drama, I would like to point
out that the answer.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
That Mary okay, Hello, yes, yes, mister Campbell, he's here.
Oh Jack, it's rot In Campbell of General Food.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well the boss and hello, oh hello mister Campbell. Yah

silly to go back to that because we have no
idea where Cactus Face is hiding. No. Now, look, we

can either look for cactus faith or a new job.
All right, you're the boss. Goodbye to night, ladies and gentlemen.

go on to media.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh Jack Jack, Mister Campbell seemed just a little bit upset.
Maybe I ought to say something about Jello just to
please him. Well, sure, go ahead, I care ladies and gentlemen.
When you're thinking of a tempting, delicious dessert to serve tonight,
why not think of jello. Remember it has the new
extra rich frish fruit flavor and the taste twice as
(15:21):
good as ever before. Oh that's being conservative, So insist
on genuine jello.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Look for the big red letters on the bar.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Oh, by all means do I've been wasting my time
looking for the silver lining playfill you can't.

Hurry up, scooter if guns the tree, okay, but come on, gayas.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Here's a new way to make an old favorite chocolate pudding,
and it's just about the easiest way of all. Use
jello chocolate pudding. It's the modern, enough to date dessert
that gives you the satin smooth texture and that just
right consistency. It has the same homemade taste that made
your mother's chocolate pudding so good. It's richer, creamier, more
chocolate e and it's amazingly easy to make. Just mix
(25:47):
the contents of one package of yellow chocolate pudding with milk,
cook and stir over a low flame until the mixture
comes to a boil and the thick and smooth it takes.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Only a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Then cool and serve in sherbet glasses.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
One package makes six servings.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
And everybody is bound to give this grand chocolate pudding.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The enthusiastic reception it deserves.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
And the Jello chocolate pudding is delicious too if you
add to it raisins, nuts or chop up marshmallows. Try
it plain or with one of these variations. Sometimes remember
Jello chocolate pudding sells for the same low price as
Jello pastor grocer tomorrow for Jello Chocolate Pudding.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Is the last number of the twenty first program in
the New Jello series and will be video Yeah next
Sunday night at the same time and over yet, Folks,
