The Jell-O program starring Jack Fanny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with you walk by.
And was you walk by played by the orchestra? And now ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to explain why Jack Fanny is not here for his customary introduction. As you may remember, Jack has been having a lot of trouble lately with Paramount regarding the premiere of his picture that he recently made with Fred Allen. Yeah, that's right, all right? Last week, Jack spoke on the telephone to Mark Sandrich, his director about this matter, but got absolutely no satisfaction. Yeah, he spoke on the phone. Then he got in touch with Mr. LeBaron who is in charge of production at Paramount and also Mr. Freeman, the head of the studio. But in neither instance was Jack successful in achieving his purpose. Oh, it was awful. Dennis, please, I'm trying to explain something. Say, Don, I thought Jack and had that premiere all set for walk-hegan. What's he beefing about? Well, it's not settled yet, Phil. In fact, Jack is over Paramount right now trying to sell Mr. Sandrich the idea. Mary is with him and I stopped very much. Hello, Mr. Sandrich's office. Sorry, he's busy right now. Very well, I'll have him call you.
Now, look here, Mr. Welman. I've been waiting an hour and a half to see Mr. Sandrich. Will you please do something about it? I've already told you, Mr. Benny. He'll see you just as soon as he's through with his conference. Conference, conference. Who's he in conference with? You're at the keyhole. You tell me. I'm not at the keyhole. I'm bending over to time, I shoe. How can you tie a shoe with buttons on it? All right, I'm buttoning my shoe. My goodness. Oh, Jack, come over here and sit down with you. Listen, Mary, I don't like being kicked around like this. The premiere of my picture is going to be held in walk-hegan. I'm going to settle it right now. But they already promised Fred Allen that they were going to have it in his hometown. Old orchard main. Old orchard main? What a hickburg that is. Oh, it's not such a small town. It isn't. Why in old orchards, you can buy a sack of potatoes, a plug a tobacco, a brisier, an addition of chowmaine and the post office.
Talk about a small town. I played there in Vortable once and there were only eight people in the theater. That happened to you in Pittsburgh too. It did not. Another thing, who's going to old orchard a summer resort in the wintertime? Well, you should have heard Allen went to that. He said there's more life in old orchard close up than there is in walk-hegan wide open. Oh, yeah. Well, he ought to be in walk-hegan on a Saturday night. Talk about excitement. But you can hardly cross the street without getting run over. Well, naturally, what does a stoplight mean to a horse? I'm talking about automobile. Let me tell you something, Mary, that town is pretty busy. Yeah? Yes, Mr. Sandridge. Yes, anybody else else say earheads. That's how am I going to ace say earheads? You don't have to pull that pig latin on me, Miss Welman. I've been around. Oh, Jack, will you please sit down and make me nervous? All right. Pardon me, sir. Does he take him? No, I'll move my diaper.
Thank you. I noticed you sitting here. Are you waiting for Mr. Sandridge to? Yeah, I've been trying to see him for three days. I'm a writer. A writer, eh? Yeah, my name is Anis Hemingway. Anis Hemingway? He married his gentleman here as Ernest Hemingway. Not Ernest. Anis. Anis. Anis. Oh. Anis. Hemingway. Oh, Anis Hemingway. Yeah, the Hemings in the middle. Oh, I see. Then you're not the famous author of For Whom the Bell Tolls. Oh, I ain't even got all the arm clock. Funny. They marry. This guy looks like an ex-price fighter or something. Yeah, I hate to lose a diamond, is he here? He's there. But afternoon, Miss Welman. Is Mr. Sandridge in his office, please? Go right in, Miss Anolcancees, expecting you. Could I just... Hey, wait a minute, Miss Welman, I was here before him. Who's this low-class guy? Mr. Sandridge is taking Rumble lessons. Rumble lessons? That's fine. He takes Rumble lessons while I sit out here and wait. Who was Sandridge before he directed my pictures, anyway?
Who was he? Yes. Why, my scientist directed some of the best pictures, Fred Astaire and Ginger Argers ever made. That's so. Flying down a real tough path, following the fleet, the gator horde. You call those pictures? That he directs Mr. Deed's Ghost of Town, or Mr. Smith goes to Washington? Nobody's going to direct Mr. Benny Ghost old orchard. No, no, he's not. Anyway, Marash, I think you'd be on my side in getting this premiere settled. Well, I don't want to go to walk hegan and get caught in all that traffic. Oh, he's still, will you? Hey, buddy, who's the damn? Oh, pardon me. And Mr. Hemingway, this is Miss Livingston. Please, for makers. The feeling is mutual. Mary, please, he's an author. Incidentally, what have you written lately, Mr. Hemingway? Did you say Gone would have won? Yes. Well, I wrote a sickle port back with a breeze. Well, is it any good? It didn't interest me. Oh, well, you're just modest.
Uh, hello, Miss W. Is MS tied up? No, go right in B. Okay. Hey, who's B.G.? He's with R.K.O. Okay, M.M. N.X. What is this, anyway? Or haven't say? Oh, Jack, here's a movie magazine. Read it and relax. Hmm. Okay, give it a minute. Find Moves to look at a movie magazine. Hey, buddy, you're faces for Merchant. Are you Jack Bunny to new dog catch your bubbly health? That's what this bag says. I just took off his last week. Oh, Jack, look at the magazine. Here's a picture of you dancing with Barbara's talent at the coconut grove. Oh, yeah. See what a blank expression on my face is, you think I'd be smiling or something? That's a coconut. You're on the left. Oh, yeah. Yes, I am smiling. Well, I must put this in my strap foot. Yes, sir. Oh, hello, Rochester. Say, boss, I think I oughta move the car over to the parking lot across the street. Leave it where it is. I'll be out in a little while. Yeah, but I've been parking it 10 minutes
over three hours. What's the difference? A policeman will, Bobby, uh? You won't, eh? No. This ticket he gave me ain't for the ballet loose. He gave you a ticket. Why didn't you talk him out of it? Why'd you tell him you just pulled in? He'd never believe that, boss. Why not? I was asleep in the back seat. You imagine that, Mary? Well, it's not his fault. It is, too. Rochester can sleep on his time off. Time off? Yes. Boss, you got me so used to working the last night when I was asleep on tickled and cotton out of my quilt. Never mind. I'd go out and move that car across the street. Okay. You want me to put it in the 25 cent lot of the 15 cent lot. Well, what am I talking about? So long, boss. I always think he's so smart. Where'd he pay for that quilt he pulled apart? Hey, Miss Welman. What about sandwich?
Am I going to see him or not? I've been waiting here a while. Hello, Miss Welman. Is your boss tight up? Go right in, Mr. Welky's expecting you. Hey, wait. How did that guy get in so quick? That's Mr. Welky's assailant. Well, that's a fine thing when assailant can get in ahead of me. What's going on here anyway? I'll keep your shirt on. What did you say? You don't want me to slug up for your buddy? No, but thanks, just the same. Come on, Mary. We're going to miss a Labyrinth office. I'll get this thing settled once and for all. All right, all right. I'll go with your buddy. So long, Miss Welman. Thanks for everything. With me, I'll tell Mr. Labyrinth plenty about how sandwich gave me the run around. Well, let's see. Where's his office? Program? Program? You can't tell Labyrinth from sandwich without a program. Oh, get away from me. Come on, Mary.
Oh, come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Come on, Mary. Yes, Mr. Labyrinth. Yes. Yes, he's still here. I'm going to say here, too. I've told him that, Mr. Labyrinth, but he says he wants to settle it right now. Very well. I wanted to say, can I go into the room? Not, Mr. Benny. He's in the midst of a very important meeting. Meeting conference. That's a lot of bologna. I'll see you here, Mr. Nelson. I know what's going on. You can't pull the wool over my eyes. I wouldn't pull anything over them. They're beautiful. Now, wait a minute. Just because my eyes happen to be one of my best features, you don't have to give me that thought, though.
I know what time it is. Oh, Jack, sit down, will you? All right, all right. Hey, look out for my daybeet. Oh, pardon me, Mr. Hemingway. Do you have to see Mr. Labyrinth, too? Yeah, I want to show him a new story, I wrote. It'll make a supplied picture. Oh, what's it about? Well, it's about two people that are thrown together by fate. Stand through to interventionist circumstances. They're split up. But they still know each other. Know each other? Yeah. And although there are moments to start tragedy, there is a strong on a common of love and passion. Well, what's the title of your story? Desire like anything. Well, really, it sounds like a great plot. You know, Jack, that would make a 12-ticket for you. Is it one? Yeah, I can see either you or Ronald Coleman in us. Yeah. Yeah, I guess Coleman's a had a list, too.
Although... But he'd never be as convincing as you. Huh, Jack? Well, I wouldn't say that, but he... He hasn't got near the class you have. Well, now that you mention it... A lot of punchy right in those big boys. Mary. Oh, there'd be a shame. You stay out of it. Now, Mr. Hammingway. Yeah? The premise of your story is very good. But I like to forget the few changes. For instance, at the beginning, when the couple are together, they... Hey, what's that mark going on out there? Access will be the mill and it's sad. Oh. They keep sad perfectly. Oh, I see. I see. They keep sad perfectly. What is I going to say, Mr. Hammingway? A story like yours should... Should have more. Hello. Now, since Mr. LeBaron's tied up... Well, go right in, Mr. Well. He's waiting for you. Thanks. Hey, wait. How does that guy always get in ahead of me? Well, that's Mr. Well. I know, but who's Well? He sells Christmas cards. Yeah!
Well, last half, sir. So mad I can't see for you. Oh, Jack, don't be so jealous. He probably buys cards from him every year. I don't care about losing a sale. I want to get this from me or something. Well, settle it later. I'll settle it right now. Now look, Mr. Nelson. This is a very important matter to me. And if you think I want to sit around in the one office and then another... So those Jack get one from the mill again? Oh, nuts! Always marching. Oh, the guy with flat feet couldn't work for him.
Restrictions and exclusions apply. Seaside or the pharmacy for details. Well, as long as I have to sit here, we might as well eat lunch. Open the box. Okay. Get a hunch that I'd be fired up here all day. What do you have, Jack? Let's see. Mary, don't squeeze those sandwiches. The peanut butter is coming out. Oh, you and your darn peanut butter. Don't you ever have meat in the house? There's some press ham there. Look under the bagels. Now give me one of those hard-boiled eggs. Say, no sandwiches there look good. Oh, partly. Would you care for something that's a heavy way? Call me, Iness. We're going to be together for a long time. Yeah, sure looks like it. Mary, see if there's any salt in there, will you? Hey, blue eyes. Will you please throw those egg shells in the basket? All right. You can stop calling me blue eyes. Make me so self-conscious, I'm sorry I've got them.
Yeah, which we have some coffee. Hey, Iness, do you want a hard-boiled egg? Yeah, have one. All right. Say, boss. What is it, Rochester? I'm still waiting for you. Won't be long now. You put the car in the parking lot? Yes, sir. You've done it in the first place. You never have gotten a ticket. By the way, boss, getting to that parking lot involved in lip-hands. Turn in the middle of the block. Well? And you know that great big time there says no yield turn? Uh-huh. Well, I made a big aid and got two more tickets. That's the last straw. Rochester, you go right back until that policeman who you are. Tell him you're working for Jack Benny, the movie star. I told you, Natty, through his book, hasn't he? Now, go sit in the car and wait for me. Okay. I get into more trouble. I see what else is there to eat here. Hey, buddy, what you got for dessert? Here it is right here. Yellow. Oh, yeah. That has some six delicious flavors. The strawberry would arise, berry would it cherry would arise.
Would the lemon would the lime? That's it. It's very tempting. You don't have to tell me my motor makes it all the time. Well, I'm glad to hear it. Hey, Mary, just start a picnic here, isn't it? Oh, hello, Miss Martin. Hello, Frank. Is this the Baron's busy? Yes, but I'll tell him you're here for me. Say, Jack, get a load of that cute kid that just came in. Huh? Hey, that's Mary Martin, the leading lady in my picture. Don't this three-decker sandwich I can't see a thing over it. Guys, isn't she pretty? Oh, every girl is pretty to you. Now, Mary, don't be caddy. Hello, Miss Martin. Oh, hello, Jack, dear. How are you? Oh, hi. Hey. Hey, it's good to see you again, darling. Dear darling, you actors make me sick. Now stop. Mary, that's Mary Martin. Hello, honey. How long have you been abroad? Mary. Well, Mary Livingston and Mary Martin.
We both have the same first name heavens. What do you want me to do? Change mine a book. Mary Behaviour, too. My heart belongs to daddy. I'm sick of that, too. Now, cut that out. In all Miss Martin, Mary is always jealous of my leading ladies. I can't understand why. Our relationship has been strictly business. Well, it might have been with you, but some of those love scenes we did in the picture were a bit on the torrent side. How that. I bet you won't forget my kisses for a long time. Amiss Martin. Loud, weren't they? Oh, now Miss Martin. All of a sudden, I like her. Mary, please. Hey, buddy, who's the damn? Oh, pardon me, Oynas. And Miss Martin, this is Mr. Hemingway. I'm very glad to know you. Oh, boy, if you only meant that. Oynas!
Same as Martin, you know, I'm the new dog catcher in Beverly Hills. I was elected last week. Well, congratulations. I can't wait till I get home and tell Rover. Rover, better have a license. I don't play favorites, you know. Mr. Labyrinth, I'll see you now, Miss Martin. Oh, thank you. Well, I've got to go in now, Jack, and sing one of the numbers for my picture for Mr. Labyrinth. He hasn't heard it yet. Oh, well, say I'll go in with you. I've got to see Mr. Labyrinth anyway. Just a moment, Mr. Bennie. He wants you to wait until Miss Martin is through. When I wait him, and he sings that song to me in the picture. There's no reason why I can't go in with her. Oh, Jack, sit down. I won't sit down. This way, Miss Martin. So long, Jack, see you later. Goodbye. I mean, goodbye dear. Now listen, Nelson. This whole thing is your fault. I bet you didn't even tell Mr. Labyrinth I was waiting. Oh, go chase a dog. That's only in Beverly Hills. I will ask you. I'll wait around all day and I can't see Santa. And now it's for Baron. Well, I'm going over to see Mr. Freeman the head of the studio. That's why I'm going to see Mr. Freeman.
Come on, Mary. All right, all right. Wait a minute, buddy. I'll go with you. The most embarrassing thing I ever heard. I'll tell Mr. Freeman. Oh, please. Come and deny the wind of the sea. I'd rather the old moon mold the ball. Finally comes the Joe's face. Go to Thunderbolt. Is that your life? Life is great in your path. And firm in your stance. And then the drops of our blood. Where the sound quits is north bang. If your life affordes, is that your life? Life is great in the art of walkoff. Do it, Freeman. Say, don't I owe you? Is it weird to hear miracles talking? Well, how do you do? There is your mind.
And strong as you will. A mountain is tempered to the shore. Then the ground falls apart. Boom, don't you laugh apart. Is that your life? Love. Isn't it art you walkoff? Do it, Freeman. Say, don't I owe you? Is it weird to hear miracles talking? Well, how do you do? There is your mind. And strong as you will. A mountain is tempered to the shore. Then the ground falls apart. Boom, don't you laugh apart. Is that your life? Love. Is that your life? Yes. Yes. Almost a Freeman Jack then he is here.
Right on. Yes, it's about to premiere. All right, I'll tell him. Well, Miss Brecker, how long will I have to wait? Just a few minutes. Sit down, kid. Hey. You know, Mary, I won't have any trouble getting into see Mr. Freeman. He's a Southern gentleman. Why is he six a minute in your ear and going as a jewel of... Oh, don't be funny. Say, buddy, you want a little snort while we're waiting? Oh, ain't it? Put that bottle away. Here, give it to me. I'll throw it out the window. Don't throw that to blow the joint up. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. Don't throw that to blow the joint up. Oh, my goodness. What is that stuff, anyway? Hello, Miss Brecker. Here's that film, Mr. Freeman-watton. Thank you. Oh, Mary, there's a camera man that photographs me most of my pictures. Hello, Teddy. What's the matter with that guy?
You always does that when he sees you. Hey, Miss Brecker, I don't want to see him patient. But I really got to get out of here. Would you please check with Mr. Freeman again? Very well. Oh, Mr. Freeman, that northerner is still here. Northerner? Well, I'll keep you in the line. What's the matter with her? Yes, Mr. Freeman, I'll tell him. Well? Mr. Freeman said he'd be with you in a few minutes. Few minutes, a few minutes. Don't you start pulling that stuff? Well, don't you get tough with me on, there's enough to throw you right out of here. Oh, yeah? Yeah. All right. I wish you'd turn around. I'd like to run a whole movie on your back. Well, that's all I can do now. Sit here and wait. Hey, Onus. What? What do you have to see, Mr. Freeman about? It's the love story I've known. I want to try and sell it. Oh. Did you like it, touch? Yeah, it was well. Jack, what are you doing with that electric razor?
I'm shaving. What do you think I'm doing? Mr. Benny's there'll be no shaving in this building. Oh, no, well, my whiskers grew in this building and I'm going to whack them off. Now, let me alone. Well, that razor is aware I'll throw you out. All right, you think I was using up a thousand dollars worth of electricity? Oh, hello, Colonel Bonnay. Hello, honey, sir. I wonder if I could see Mr. Freeman. You sure can go ride him, Colonel. Thank you, ma'am. Say a hundred, Charles. I'm pop-up, I have to see Mr. Freeman Marcel. Get out! Well, Colonel got in that way. There was something sudden about me. I got to see Freeman. Why don't you show your Confederate money? I gave it all to Dennis the first year he worked for it.
I'll look, Miss Brecker. I'm going to weigh just five more. Hello, Miss Brecker. So ride in, Mr. Wells. Mr. Wells, he sounds Christmas-car. Well, it's almost Christmas, isn't it? You're darn right, it is. I don't want to hang up my talking here. I'm just going just far enough. What are you talking about? I'll tell you what I'm talking about. I don't mind waiting for Mrs. Sanders' office for three hours. And I don't mind getting the runner off of Mr. LeBarris. But when a salesman can walk in here and see the head of the studio without any appointments. Can I speak to you a minute more? I'll see you later, Rochester. While I've been sitting here. You know those three things, is that, God? While I've been sitting here. Well, one more angle kill, is it? What? See you later, Bull? I was an Airbus, I'm a pretty big star, whether you know it or not. And I won't stand being kicked around. I had eaten my lunch here. I even had a shave here. Your back is ready, Jack. Now cut that off. This, record, I'll give you just two seconds to press that button called Mr. Freeman. You got to get it. Who cares? Now that's final, Miss Brecker. Do I get in there or not? Oh my goodness, what's that for? They play Jetsy every time they pass Mr. Freeman's window.
Oh, no, I'm going home. Come on, Mary. I'll go with you, buddy. Come on, I know, I'm not going over to Bonnie D. Bonnie D? Who's he? Only the janitor, but he'll fix me. Come on. Around the football stadiums these Chris Watermaths, the news. And Mary, you know what? What? I should have asked Mary Mark to take my side about the Samir being held in Warkegan. Well, what good would that do? What good would it do, can't you see? There'd be two of us for Warkegan and Alan wouldn't stand a chance. Yeah, I wonder where I can find her. Well, this is on the Maxwell House program Thursday night. Why don't you go over there and sit here? I'm going to go over there. I'm going to go over there. I'm going to go over there. I'm going to go over there. I'm going to go over there. I'm going to go over there. The program Thursday night wanted to go over there and sit here. Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll do that. I'll go with your buddy. Thanks, Onus. Good night, folks.
