Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your
host Ron Ecklebarger Jelo Again. The feud between Fred Allen
and Jack Benny is heating up. On his radio show,
Fred Allen said that Jack couldn't play the violin, so
Jack proclaims his intention of playing the violin and playing
(00:36):
the b next week. This episode, entitled Next Sunday Jack
Will Play the B is the two hundred and forty
third Jack Benny Show and it originally aired on January
thirty one, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And Phil Harris and his orchestra.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The orchestra opens the program with everything is rhythm in
my heart from first in Girl. Easy is rolling off
(01:25):
a log. That's an expression we all use, but I
know an even better way to describe something easy, and
here it is easy as making jello, because jello really
is amazingly simple to prepare, and whenever you make jello,
you're making a dessert that's certain to please everyone. For
Jello's famous proof fruit flavor always gets a great reception.
(01:45):
But just remember that you can find that grand extra
rich fruit flavor only in genuine Jello. All six delicious
flavors are extra rich and they come from fresh ripe fruit.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Easy to make, easy to take.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's Jello, the most popular gelatine dessert in the entire
world today. That's Jello too, So don't accept any substitute.
Be sure you get the real thing. Look for the
big red letters on the box. They spell Jello. And
(02:37):
now we bring you our radiant master of ceremonies, with
warmth in his heart and a cold in his head.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Jack Benny.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Uh Jelo, Yeah is a Jack?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Then he speaking to you through a kleenegg. So don't
get too close to your radio.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Folks. You know, you know how these cold spread?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Where did you get that cold? Jack?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Down at the race track? You know, I went out
to sant Anita yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Oh, why didn't you weren't over cold?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I did, Don, I wore one on the way out.
The bookmaker wore a home usually. Do I tell you
one thing, Don, I'm through with horses. That fourth race
yesterday cured me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well that's all what happened.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Well, Don, I didn't mind when my horse stopped in
the middle of the race and quit cold. But when
he came over to the rail, and asked me if
I heard Fred Allen Wednesday night, I was going a
little toopo. How can a horse run during the day
when he's up all night listening to the radio.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Well, you know, Jackie, but they have to have a
little fud.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
As say, don do you think Alan could have bribed
those people to say I couldn't play the b.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Why Jack, I thought you told me this morning that
you were going to forget all about him.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Oh, yes, it's just with violence.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Well, anyway, I swore I never bet on another horse
as long as I live, unless it's a sure thing.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
You know, Hi, you don hello sucker?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Listen Marry.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
You didn't do so well as the trackt yourself yesterday?
Speaker 7 (04:09):
I didn't. I I came home with three winners and
a jockey. Oh anyway, I only had bad luck in
one race.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
What happened? The jockey forgot his smudge pot and my
horse was frozen.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
At the post? Oh, Mary, why do you make those
things up?
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Good practice? In case I ever get on a comedy program,
something funny about this.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Well, that's my ambition, my ambition.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah, are you hello? Jack?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Hello? Fred?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I mean Kenny? Oh? Jack?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Why don't you get out of off your mind.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
He's not on my mind just because I happen to
say Fred. There are a lot of Fred's, Fred McMurray,
Fred Astare Fredstone. There are millions of Fred, aren't they?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Kenny?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah? But Alan's the funniest that So say, who was
that JB? He was kidding about last Wednesday night?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
JB?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Probably George Burns. You know he spells by ear. Anyway,
I don't want to talk about him. Let's forget fa.
That short per fate and that's what he is. Let
him top that one.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Don't worry he will.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh yeah, well, let's forget it.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
What's that paper you got there, Kenny?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I don't know. I found it at the racetrack.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh it's a dope sheet?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
What a sheet?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Dope? Oh you can say it either way.
Speaker 4 (05:43):

made the laughing stock of the nation, and you're rope

Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Oh, nothing fellas nothing. I I just had a dream,
and gee it was swell play hell.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Nearly every home haves some particular specialty one grandation at
the hole again, and I'm here to tell you about
that kind of a hip combination.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Of luscious figs and strawberry jello. Here's how you make it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
First, dissolve a package of strawberry jello in one pint
of hot water and the fig juice. Chill until slightly thickened,
and then fold in one cup of sliced stewed figs.
After that, just mold and serve with whipped cream. And
what a swell combination that is. Golden figs and rosy
cherry strawberry jello. Good to look at, better to taste.
(28:36):
No other gelatin dessert has Jello's extra rich fresh fruit flavor.
So when you make jellied figs, just be sure to
make them with the one and only genuine Jello.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
The last number of the eighteenth program in the New
Jello Series, and will be with you again next Sunday
night at the same time.

The part of Fred Allen was played tonight by Lynd Hayes.
The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston came
to you from Hollywood. This is the Red Network of
the National Broadcasting Company.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Okay, s I Los Angeles, fifteen seconds until nine.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Please send your questions and comments to host at CLASSICCOMEDYOTR
dot com until next time. In the words of Lewis Carrol,
everything's got immoral if only you can find it.
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your
host Ron Ecklebarger Jelo Again. The feud between Fred Allen
and Jack Benny is heating up. On his radio show,
Fred Allen said that Jack couldn't play the violin, so
Jack proclaims his intention of playing the violin and playing
(00:36):
the b next week. This episode, entitled Next Sunday Jack
Will Play the B is the two hundred and forty
third Jack Benny Show and it originally aired on January
thirty one, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And Phil Harris and his orchestra.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The orchestra opens the program with everything is rhythm in
my heart from first in Girl. Easy is rolling off
(01:25):
a log. That's an expression we all use, but I
know an even better way to describe something easy, and
here it is easy as making jello, because jello really
is amazingly simple to prepare, and whenever you make jello,
you're making a dessert that's certain to please everyone. For
Jello's famous proof fruit flavor always gets a great reception.
(01:45):
But just remember that you can find that grand extra
rich fruit flavor only in genuine Jello. All six delicious
flavors are extra rich and they come from fresh ripe fruit.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Easy to make, easy to take.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's Jello, the most popular gelatine dessert in the entire
world today. That's Jello too, So don't accept any substitute.
Be sure you get the real thing. Look for the
big red letters on the box. They spell Jello. And
(02:37):
now we bring you our radiant master of ceremonies, with
warmth in his heart and a cold in his head.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Jack Benny.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Uh Jelo, Yeah is a Jack?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Then he speaking to you through a kleenegg. So don't
get too close to your radio.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Folks. You know, you know how these cold spread?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Where did you get that cold? Jack?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Down at the race track? You know, I went out
to sant Anita yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Oh, why didn't you weren't over cold?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I did, Don, I wore one on the way out.
The bookmaker wore a home usually. Do I tell you
one thing, Don, I'm through with horses. That fourth race
yesterday cured me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well that's all what happened.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Well, Don, I didn't mind when my horse stopped in
the middle of the race and quit cold. But when
he came over to the rail, and asked me if
I heard Fred Allen Wednesday night, I was going a
little toopo. How can a horse run during the day
when he's up all night listening to the radio.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Well, you know, Jackie, but they have to have a
little fud.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
As say, don do you think Alan could have bribed
those people to say I couldn't play the b.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Why Jack, I thought you told me this morning that
you were going to forget all about him.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Oh, yes, it's just with violence.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Well, anyway, I swore I never bet on another horse
as long as I live, unless it's a sure thing.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
You know, Hi, you don hello sucker?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Listen Marry.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
You didn't do so well as the trackt yourself yesterday?
Speaker 7 (04:09):
I didn't. I I came home with three winners and
a jockey. Oh anyway, I only had bad luck in
one race.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, what happened?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
What happened? The jockey forgot his smudge pot and my
horse was frozen.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
At the post? Oh, Mary, why do you make those
things up?
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Good practice? In case I ever get on a comedy program,
something funny about this.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Well, that's my ambition, my ambition.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah, are you hello? Jack?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Hello? Fred?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I mean Kenny? Oh? Jack?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Why don't you get out of off your mind.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
He's not on my mind just because I happen to
say Fred. There are a lot of Fred's, Fred McMurray,
Fred Astare Fredstone. There are millions of Fred, aren't they?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Kenny?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah? But Alan's the funniest that So say, who was
that JB? He was kidding about last Wednesday night?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
JB?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Probably George Burns. You know he spells by ear. Anyway,
I don't want to talk about him. Let's forget fa.
That short per fate and that's what he is. Let
him top that one.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Don't worry he will.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh yeah, well, let's forget it.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
What's that paper you got there, Kenny?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I don't know. I found it at the racetrack.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh it's a dope sheet?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
What a sheet?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Dope? Oh you can say it either way.
Speaker 4 (05:43):

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Nearly every home haves some particular specialty one grandation at
the hole again, and I'm here to tell you about
that kind of a hip combination.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Of luscious figs and strawberry jello. Here's how you make it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
First, dissolve a package of strawberry jello in one pint
of hot water and the fig juice. Chill until slightly thickened,
and then fold in one cup of sliced stewed figs.
After that, just mold and serve with whipped cream. And
what a swell combination that is. Golden figs and rosy
cherry strawberry jello. Good to look at, better to taste.
(28:36):
No other gelatin dessert has Jello's extra rich fresh fruit flavor.
So when you make jellied figs, just be sure to
make them with the one and only genuine Jello.

Jello Series, and will be with you again next Sunday
