From November 6th, 1938, this NBC Red Network broadcast was

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:31.170
written by Bill Morrow and Ed Boulogne, with Don Wilson,
8
00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:35.850

it is the Jack Benny program in The Crowd Roars.
10
00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:40.670
Here is the original broadcast.
11
00:00:41.549 --> 00:00:48.700
J-E-L-L-O The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston,
12
00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.880
Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The
13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.280
orchestra opens the program with The Riddle Song.
14
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.899
Well, it seems that nowadays boys and girls know what's
15
00:00:56.939 --> 00:00:58.109
good for them and like it.
16
00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:10.719
For Young America magazine recently made a youth survey all
17
00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:13.170
over the country, and one of the questions they asked
18
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.540
the youngsters was, name your favorite dessert. Yes, you've guessed it.
19
00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:20.870
Jell-O is a leading favorite with the children, a dessert
20
00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:23.090
they go for in a great big way. And you
21
00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:25.269
know that shows that they have mighty good taste, for
22
00:01:25.329 --> 00:01:28.950
Jell-O is a grand dessert for youngsters. It's wholesome, it's pure,
23
00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:32.989
it's delicious. And Jell-O looks so exciting and tastes so good.
24
00:01:33.609 --> 00:01:35.930
Those six bright colors give a gay party air to
25
00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:39.329
the plainest meal, and every youngster loves that. And those
26
00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:42.409
six delicious flavors are full of extra rich fruit goodness
27
00:01:42.870 --> 00:01:45.489
that makes every Jell-O dessert a surefire hit with the
28
00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.689
whole family. Just be sure to get genuine Jell-O when
29
00:01:48.709 --> 00:01:51.760
you buy. Look for those big red letters on the box.
30
00:01:52.200 --> 00:02:16.840
They spell Jell-O, and Jell-O spells a treat. And now,
31
00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:19.680
ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that genial host of
32
00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:22.810
Beverly Hills, a man who is famous for his lavish
33
00:02:22.870 --> 00:02:25.629
and extravagant parties, Jock Benny.
34
00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:35.710
Well, thank you. Hello again. This is Jack Benny, the
35
00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:40.389
Elsa Maxwell of Southern California talking. And thanks, Don. I
36
00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:42.550
imagine you were referring to that blowout I gave for
37
00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:43.810
the gang last Sunday night.
38
00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:44.729
I certainly was.
39
00:02:44.770 --> 00:02:46.050
We had a lot of fun that night. What a
40
00:02:46.129 --> 00:02:48.110
spread I put on. Did you enjoy yourself, Don?
41
00:02:48.129 --> 00:02:51.330
Oh, we sure did, Jack. We all had a marvelous time. Hey, Phil,
42
00:02:51.349 --> 00:02:53.310
wasn't that a great party? Boy, that was a party
43
00:02:53.349 --> 00:03:01.229
with a capital P-U. Phil, I might have known you
44
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:03.599
wouldn't like it. What do you expect at a party, anyway? Well,
45
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:05.039
for one thing, I expect to eat.
46
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:14.659
Eat? Brother, you handed out that food like it was radium. Now, now,
47
00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:16.539
wait a minute, Phil. There might have been a slight delay,
48
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.669
but you finally got a meal, didn't you? Yeah, hot
49
00:03:18.729 --> 00:03:20.650
dogs and root beer. I went to bed that night
50
00:03:20.689 --> 00:03:27.030
and dreamt that Dracula and Frankenstein were shooting pool. Shooting pool?
51
00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:31.319
My goodness. Not only that, I was the eight ball. Well,
52
00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:41.240
hit me on the head and sink my bridge work. Well, I,
53
00:03:41.580 --> 00:03:45.729
you know, I wasn't going to admit it, fellas. Now, Ray,
54
00:03:45.830 --> 00:03:47.629
I wasn't going to admit it, but those hot dogs
55
00:03:47.689 --> 00:03:49.590
got me, too. Boy, what I went through.
56
00:03:49.750 --> 00:03:50.430
What happened, Jack?
57
00:03:50.449 --> 00:03:51.330
Did you have a nightmare?
58
00:03:51.490 --> 00:03:53.710
I think so. I was never a totem pole before.
59
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.860
I got so excited, I punctured my hot water bag. Well,
60
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.680
you should have known better than to serve that kind
61
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.879
of food late at night. All right, Harris, I'll make
62
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.319
a note of that. And incidentally, that's the last time
63
00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:11.349
you will ever be invited to my house. You couldn't
64
00:04:11.370 --> 00:04:14.930
get me in that dump again with a subpoena. Well,
65
00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:17.769
don't worry your pretty little head about that. You're just
66
00:04:17.850 --> 00:04:19.610
jealous because I made such a hit with that girl
67
00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:22.189
you brought to the party. You mean Barbara? Yes, Barbara.
68
00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:24.079
You didn't get any closer to her than War Admiral
69
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.930
did to Seabiscuit. Oh, yeah? Well, when she went out
70
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:30.050
the door, I was only two lengths behind her and
71
Load full transcript
00:04:30.129 --> 00:04:38.439
moving up fast. So don't give me that. Oh, hello, Mary.
72
00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:40.100
Hello, fellas. What are you talking about?
73
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.519
Oh, Wilson was just telling me what a marvelous time
74
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.199
he had at my party last Sunday night.
75
00:04:44.370 --> 00:04:44.829
John?
76
00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:45.269
Yeah.
77
00:04:45.689 --> 00:04:47.910
Oh, that guy has a good time just lacing his shoes.
78
00:04:49.790 --> 00:05:00.139
He hasn't seen them in ten years But Mary, now Really, Mary,
79
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.959
don't Now, wait a minute Don't tell me you didn't
80
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.660
enjoy yourself at my party.
81
00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:05.699
Well, I had a swell time, Jack But gee, those
82
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.939
hot dogs and root beer Gosh, what a.
83
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.709
Horrible dream I had Oh, you too, huh?
84
00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:11.879
Yeah, I dreamt that Clark Gable was chasing me up
85
00:05:11.930 --> 00:05:12.910
the Empire State.
86
00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:15.110
Building Clark Gable? What's horrible about that?
87
00:05:15.189 --> 00:05:16.009
He didn't catch me.
88
00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:19.689
Oh, that's too bad.
89
00:05:19.709 --> 00:05:21.889
I'm going to eat ice cream and pickles tonight and
90
00:05:21.930 --> 00:05:22.769
give them another chance.
91
00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:31.019
That's right, Mary. Never say die. But I'm sorry the
92
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.600
food I served my party upset you. That's really a shame.
93
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.600
There ought to be a law against you entertaining. Oh,
94
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:37.649
there should, eh? You see, Mary, Phil is burnt out
95
00:05:37.689 --> 00:05:40.290
because his girl Barbara was hanging around me all the time.
96
00:05:40.310 --> 00:05:42.189
Did you notice the way she kept looking at me
97
00:05:42.269 --> 00:05:42.689
all evening?
98
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:44.819
Yeah, Phil told her you had a glass eye.
99
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.540
Oh, so that's why she asked me to cry.
100
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:48.279
I didn't know.
101
00:05:57.550 --> 00:05:59.649
Just the same, before the party was over, she got
102
00:05:59.689 --> 00:06:01.449
to like me, and that's why Phil is so mad.
103
00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:03.600
I'm not mad. I just think that affair you had
104
00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.220
was a war shot, that's all. Is that so? You know, Mary,
105
00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:08.720
Phil doesn't think a party's a success unless all the
106
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.160
guests go home in a patrol wagon. Now, wait a minute, Jack.
107
00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:13.959
I've met some of the finest people in the world
108
00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:16.459
in patrol wagons. Yeah, I can imagine. That's where you
109
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:20.279
signed me up, remember? Well, I was there by accident.
110
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.819
I thought it was a sightseeing bus. A sightseeing bus,
111
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.759
then why did you have your lawyer with you? Because
112
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.040
he's never seen Chinatown and shut up.
113
00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:29.240
Gosh.
114
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.000
Gee, alibi everything. But you know what hurts me, fellas?
115
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.060
It's the first time any of you have ever been
116
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.029
in my new home and you haven't said one word
117
00:06:44.069 --> 00:06:44.430
about it.
118
00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:45.990
Well, Jack, I meant to tell you all about that.
119
00:06:46.089 --> 00:06:48.050
I think your house is simply exquisite.
120
00:06:48.189 --> 00:06:48.810
Thanks, Don.
121
00:06:48.990 --> 00:06:51.129
Gee, I love that big fireplace in the library.
122
00:06:51.189 --> 00:06:51.889
Isn't it cozy?
123
00:06:52.149 --> 00:06:53.129
Oh, it's just ducky.
124
00:06:53.449 --> 00:06:53.560
Oh.
125
00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:55.720
But, Jack, I saw a cement mixer in your kitchen. Now,
126
00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:56.439
what's that for?
127
00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:58.000
That cement mixer? Yeah.
128
00:06:58.199 --> 00:06:59.420
Jack makes his own great nuts.
129
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.699
I do not That cement mixer just happens to be
130
00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:06.019
an antique But you know what kills me? You didn't
131
00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.120
notice the nice things I have in my house What
132
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.540
about that lovely thick oriental rug I've got? You mean
133
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.240
the one in the living room? Yes I got a
134
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.300
Palm Beach suit that's thicker than that.
135
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:20.889
Oh, you have, Mr.
136
00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:23.410
Smarty Well, I like the rug and it's plenty thick.
137
00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:25.850
Go on, I saw a bug in it with an overcoat.
138
00:07:25.569 --> 00:07:29.290
On All right, keep it up, keep it up, Mary
139
00:07:29.689 --> 00:07:31.810
How anybody can run down by rugs and wear hats
140
00:07:31.870 --> 00:07:34.829
like you do is beyond me. The one you got
141
00:07:34.910 --> 00:07:37.410
on now looks like a bird's-eye view of Lake Tahoe.
142
00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:47.240
If I had a hat like that, I'd wear a veil, too.
143
00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:50.480
No kidding.
144
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:58.379
No kidding. That's funny. You're the only one that guessed it.
145
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.470
Well... Well, that's the silliest thing I ever saw.
146
00:08:03.490 --> 00:08:05.170
Yeah, that's what I say.
147
00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:07.300
Oh, hello, Kenny. I didn't see you come in. Where
148
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:07.660
were you?
149
00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:10.509
Well, I was out in the hall whistling at the girls. Whistling?
150
00:08:10.970 --> 00:08:12.310
Now, Kenny, you shouldn't do that.
151
00:08:12.550 --> 00:08:14.069
I know. A dog came up and bit me.
152
00:08:14.629 -->
00:08:15.290
Oh.
153
00:08:15.610 --> 00:08:17.089
Well, that'll teach you a lesson. Say, Kenny, did you
154
00:08:17.110 --> 00:08:18.850
have a good time at my party the other night?
155
00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:22.069
I had a swell time, Jack. But, wow, those hot dogs,
156
00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:23.050
what they did to me.
157
00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:25.730
Now, don't tell me you had a nightmare, too. Did I?
158
00:08:25.990 --> 00:08:27.810
You know what, Jack? I went to bed and dreamt
159
00:08:27.829 --> 00:08:29.470
I was president of the United States.
160
00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:31.569
Oh, so you were president, eh? Yeah.
161
00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:33.730
Boy, was the country in a mess when I woke up.
162
00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:42.580
Well, I can imagine. Well, well, President Baker. What a dream.
163
00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:43.639
Who was vice president?
164
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.120
Maxie Rosenblum.
165
00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:54.409
Oh, quite an administration there.
166
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.419
Well, for the sake of our country, I'm glad you
167
00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:04.159
woke up. Say, Kenny, getting back to the party, though,
168
00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:05.980
that was the first time you saw my new house,
169
00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:06.370
wasn't it?
170
00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:09.870
Yes, it was. Gee, it's beautiful, Jack. And those paintings
171
00:09:09.909 --> 00:09:11.570
in your living room are the last words.
172
00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:13.429
Oh, they are masterpieces, every one of them.
173
00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:15.110
Oh, I like the picture of the girl's head that
174
00:09:15.149 --> 00:09:16.149
hangs over the fireplace.
175
00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:17.269
Oh, you mean the Mona Lisa?
176
00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:17.669
Yeah.
177
00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.450
Mona Lisa? Why, Jack, the Mona Lisa has a smile
178
00:09:20.509 --> 00:09:23.820
on her face. And the girl in your picture's frowning. Frowning? Yeah.
179
00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.559
Darn that Rochester. I told him he was hanging it
180
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.679
upside down. He knows absolutely nothing about art.
181
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.919
Say, Jack, tell him what he did with your painting
182
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:34.600
of Napoleon.
183
00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:35.080
Yeah.
184
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:35.860
What was it, Jack?
185
00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:38.600
Oh, he hung the picture sideways, and Napoleon's hand kept
186
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:47.049
falling out of his vest. Well, I'll have things straightened
187
00:09:47.169 --> 00:09:50.129
out pretty soon. Hey, Kenny, it's about time for your song.
188
00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:52.090
What's it going to be tonight? I'm going to sing
189
00:09:52.190 --> 00:09:54.750
If I Loved You More, and I dedicate it to Oscar,
190
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.659
my pet rabbit. Gee, what a thoughtful kid. Sing, Kenny.
191
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.620
Are you listening, Bill?
192
00:10:00.730 --> 00:10:01.289
I mean,
Oscar?

194
00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:08.610
Oh, how can I explain? If I loved you more,
195
00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:13.409
I'd need another heart.
196
00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:16.850
The heart I have.
197
00:11:16.230 --> 00:11:18.769
Is filled with love for you.
198
00:11:27.070 --> 00:11:34.490
I'd need a longer day, a day that lasted me
199
00:11:34.730 --> 00:11:43.090
to my doom. If I could crawl another.
200
00:11:42.429 --> 00:11:51.620
Dream into a dream-filled night, I'd need a never-ending.
201
00:11:53.039 --> 00:12:04.470
If I loved you more This great big.
202
00:12:02.049 --> 00:12:07.740
World would be So much too small for me If
203
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:08.240
I loved you.
204
00:12:31.669 --> 00:12:44.289
That was If I Loved You More, sung by Kenny Baker.
205
00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:46.820
And Kenny, I could tell that came right from the heart.
206
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.279
I'm sure Oscar, your pet rabbit, enjoyed it very much.
207
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.610
He better or I'll eat him.
208
00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:54.610
Oh, I wouldn't do that, kid.
209
00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:54.690
No.
210
00:12:56.330 --> 00:12:59.149
And now, ladies and gentlemen, as our play this evening
211
00:12:59.190 --> 00:13:02.029
is quite long, without further ado, I will announce our
212
00:13:02.070 --> 00:13:05.789
feature attraction. Tonight, we will add another brick in our
213
00:13:05.850 --> 00:13:09.129
monument to theatrical history. We are going to present our
214
00:13:09.190 --> 00:13:14.750
version of MGM's sensational story of pugilistic triumph and nerve-tingling suspense,
215
00:13:15.370 --> 00:13:26.649
The Crowd Roars. Thank you. Now, I will play the
216
00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:29.789
part as portrayed on the screen by Robert Taylor, that
217
00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:31.950
of a prizefighter who battles his way to the top,
218
00:13:32.049 --> 00:13:34.730
fighting and knocking out the toughest men the ring has
219
00:13:34.769 --> 00:13:38.029
ever known. Mary, I want him to believe this.
220
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:39.840
Please.
221
00:13:40.629 --> 00:13:42.840
Now, Mary will play the part of Sheila, my sweetheart,
222
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.200
as portrayed on the screen by Maureen O'Sullivan.
223
00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:46.960
Why don't you get her and leave me alone?
224
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:49.320
Well, if you want to know something, prima donna, I
225
00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:51.279
came darn near getting Maureen O'Sullivan.
226
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.019
Why didn't you?
227
00:13:52.279 --> 00:14:01.990
Well, unfortunately, she thinks I'm repulsive. Now, let's see. Oh, yeah,
228
00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:05.850
Don Wilson will be the fight announcer, and Phil... Oh, Phil,
229
00:14:05.909 --> 00:14:07.389
you're going to be in the play, too. Well, that's
230
00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:10.980
better than listening to it. Phil, that little remark may
231
00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:13.200
cause you to listen to this program next year if
232
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.820
you're in touch with it at all. Do I make
233
00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:24.100
myself clear? Now, let's see. Phil is going to be
234
00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:26.139
my manager. Don is the fight announcer.
235
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.940
Well, see, Jack, I think it would be much better
236
00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:30.379
if I were your trainer instead of your fight announcer.
237
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:31.759
You want to be my trainer, Don?
238
00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:32.120
Yes.
239
00:14:32.649 --> 00:14:35.009
Why, said he, little knowing what was lurking in the
240
00:14:35.070 --> 00:14:37.070
shadows ahead. Why, Don?
241
00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:39.289
Because with every meal I'd see that you got a
242
00:14:39.309 --> 00:14:42.509
dish of tempting, delicious jello. You'd start out with strawberry
243
00:14:42.549 --> 00:14:44.669
and have a different flavor each day of the week.
244
00:14:44.950 --> 00:14:47.629
Oh, goody. But, Don, there are seven days of the
245
00:14:47.669 --> 00:14:50.509
week and only six flavors. What would I have on Sunday,
246
00:14:50.610 --> 00:14:51.289
pray tell?
247
00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:54.009
On Sunday, you could go back to strawberry with sliced
248
00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:55.600
bananas as a double feature.
249
00:14:55.779 --> 00:15:07.539
Eureka! I knew you'd come through. Now, let me see.
250
00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:11.500
Where was I before I fell into this trap? Oh, yes. Now,
251
00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:14.000
this play of the Fistic Arena will go on immediately
252
00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:15.019
after the next number.
253
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.019
Go ahead, Phil.
254
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.289
Oh, hold it a minute. Come in. Mr. Benny? Yes?
255
00:15:21.490 --> 00:15:23.490
I wish you wouldn't be a prize fighter. Why not?
256
00:15:23.570 --> 00:15:24.389
Look what happened to me.
257
00:15:24.409 --> 00:15:24.470
Oh!
258
00:15:36.330 --> 00:15:39.740
Oh, I was wondering how he got that way. Play, Phil.

© BF-WATCH TV 2021.
260
00:17:17.390 --> 00:17:20.579
That was F.D.R. Jones, played by Phil Harrison as orchestra.
261
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.859
And now, folks, as time is getting short, we will
262
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.700
proceed with our play, that epic of the prize ring,
263
00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:29.160
The Crowd Roars, or Button, Button, Who Hit Me on
264
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.539
the Buttons. Take it, Don.
265
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.579
The scene is the home of the Bennys in the
266
00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:43.180
thriving little town of Waukegan, Illinois, many years ago. As
267
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.359
the curtain rises, we find Master Benny, a child of six,
268
00:17:46.819 --> 00:17:47.859
busy in the library.
269
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:48.720
Curtain.
270
00:17:50.049 --> 00:17:51.569
Oh, darn it.
271
00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:11.660
Oh, Daddy. Daddy.
What is it, Stinky? Daddy, can I
272
00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:13.819
go out with the other kids? Not until you finish
273
00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:17.000
your lesson. Say, what's that tune you was playing? Schubert's
274
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:23.009
Unfinished Symphony, and I'm not surprised. Neither am I. Say, Daddy,
275
00:18:23.049 --> 00:18:25.230
why do I have to keep practicing? I don't want
276
00:18:25.250 --> 00:18:27.569
to be a violinist. I want to be a prizefighter.
277
00:18:27.589 --> 00:18:28.450
Prizefighter?
278
00:18:28.710 --> 00:18:34.200
Why, son, you couldn't lick a popsicle. I could, too. Now,
279
00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:35.799
get going with your lessons. I don't want to hear
280
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.349
another word out of you. Oh, all right. Hey, wait
281
00:18:39.369 --> 00:18:50.529
till I get out of here. I wish I could go, too. Oh, well,
282
00:18:50.589 --> 00:18:51.349
I won't listen.
283
00:18:55.009 --> 00:18:57.970
Five years later, and Master Benny is now 11 years old.
284
00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:06.779
Oh, there I go again.
285
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.539
Hey, son, ain't that the same tune you've been playing
286
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.079
for five years? Yeah. Wish the teacher'd show you how
287
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.839
to turn over the page. Well, I don't want to
288
00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:16.839
be a violinist. I want to be a prize fighter.
289
00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:19.400
Only yesterday I beat up that Stewart kid that lives
290
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:27.809
across the street. You mean Jimmy Stewart? No, Gloria. She
291
00:19:27.849 --> 00:19:30.529
won't forget me in a hurry. Well, stop bragging. Go
292
00:19:30.549 --> 00:19:32.509
on with your lessons. Okay, but one of these days
293
00:19:32.549 --> 00:19:34.289
I'm going to be the champion of the world, Dad.
294
00:19:34.549 --> 00:19:36.450
And you'll be proud of me. I'd be proud of
295
00:19:36.470 --> 00:19:37.930
you if you knew how to eat with a fork.
296
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.160
I'll show him. Wait and see.
297
00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:44.500
Ten years later.
298
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:57.099
Fifteen years later. later. I give up. Well, I could
299
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.099
do better, but I'm playing with boxing gloves on. Anyway,
300
00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:01.900
I'm true with this. I'm going to New York and
301
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.109
make a name for myself. I'm a champion and the
302
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:04.680
world's going.
303
00:20:04.569 --> 00:20:05.170
To know about it.
304
00:20:05.450 --> 00:20:08.390
So long, Dad. I'm packing up. Don't forget your toupee.
305
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.720
I got it on my chest. I'm a he-man now.
306
00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:16.410
So long, Pop.
307
00:20:16.430 --> 00:20:26.450
Good luck, son. Three years have elapsed, and Jack Benny
308
00:20:26.470 --> 00:20:29.380
has made rapid strides as a prizefighter. After a series
309
00:20:29.410 --> 00:20:32.259
of sensational knockouts, he is now known as Killer Benny.
310
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.250
That's me, folks. A tiger, if there ever was one.
311
00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:36.480
We now take you to the killer's training camp, where
312
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.700
he is working out with his manager, Curly Harris. Ouch.
313
00:20:42.369 --> 00:20:44.269
Hey, Curly, what do you want, killer? I wish you'd
314
00:20:44.289 --> 00:20:46.359
get me a new punching bag. This one keeps punching
315
00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:46.819
me back.
316
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.019
Never mind that.
317
00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:50.880
Did you do your old work this morning? No, I
318
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:59.519
couldn't find my broom. Now, look, Curly, when is my
319
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:01.440
next bout? I haven't had a fight in two days.
320
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.089
I'm working on it, killer. I got a guy in
321
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.190
mind for you, but he ain't out of the hospital yet. Well,
322
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:05.829
prop him up.
323
00:21:05.869 --> 00:21:06.589
I'm raring to go.
324
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.579
I'll get you a fight pretty soon, but I'm warning you, killer.
325
00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:13.039
You better start saving your dough. Why, you throw away
326
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.460
your money like Diamond Jim Brady. I don't throw away
327
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.420
my money. I know that, but this happens to be
328
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:26.150
the play. Oh, that's right. But gee whiz, I like
329
00:21:26.190 --> 00:21:28.009
a little fun once in a while. Okay, killer, but
330
00:21:28.029 --> 00:21:29.490
if you want to be a champion, you better stop
331
00:21:29.549 --> 00:21:32.849
running around with women. Okay. Now remember that women are poison.
332
00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:34.269
I got you, chief. No women.
333
00:21:34.349 --> 00:21:34.769
Right.
334
00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:37.950
See you later. So long. Now what'll I do? I
335
00:21:37.970 --> 00:21:41.190
guess I'll skip rope a little while. One, two, button
336
00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:47.349
my shell. Train four, shut the door. Five, six, seven, eight.
337
00:21:48.089 --> 00:21:49.049
Hello, can I come in?
338
00:21:49.210 --> 00:21:49.880
Are you a woman?
339
00:21:49.930 --> 00:21:50.230
Yes.
340
00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:52.900
Now get out of here. You're a poison. What? Oh,
341
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.019
I'm sorry, Sheila. I didn't know it was you.
342
00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:56.900
Well, don't holler at me like that or I'll take
343
00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.660
my tights back.
344
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.359
Well, I said I was sorry.
345
00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:06.599
I'm nervous, Sheila. I want to fight.
346
00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:07.960
Well, how are you shaping up, killer?
347
00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.940
Fine. Look at these arms. They're like steel.
348
00:22:10.089 --> 00:22:11.200
Yeah, what are those bumps on them?
349
00:22:11.269 --> 00:22:17.029
Rivets. You're looking
at the next champ, Sheila. Get these muscles.
350
00:22:17.049 --> 00:22:17.970
Look at this physique.
351
00:22:18.369 --> 00:22:19.990
I've seen better physiques on parsnips.
352
00:22:22.390 --> 00:22:23.809
Gee, don't you love me anymore, Sheila?
353
00:22:24.009 --> 00:22:26.210
Sure I love you, killer, but you're getting slap-happy from
354
00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:28.589
all this fighting. Walking around on your heels.
355
00:22:28.630 --> 00:22:29.269
On my heels?
356
00:22:29.430 --> 00:22:31.210
Yeah, you look like Corrigan doing a toe dance.
357
00:22:32.069 --> 00:22:35.019
Well, don't worry, Sheila. If it'll make you any happier,
358
00:22:35.059 --> 00:22:36.279
my next fight will be my last.
359
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.759
Who's that?
360
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:39.619
That's Harris, my manager. I don't want him to see you.
361
00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:40.450
I'm on strict training.
362
00:22:40.509 --> 00:22:41.109
Well, what'll I do?
363
00:22:41.269 --> 00:22:42.569
Here, hide behind the beer barrel.
364
00:22:44.029 --> 00:22:44.450
Okay.
365
00:22:45.849 --> 00:22:48.529
Hey, killer, killer, have I got news for you. What
366
00:22:48.569 --> 00:22:50.619
is it, Coyley? At last, your big chance has come.
367
00:22:50.890 --> 00:22:52.940
I just arranged a match between you and the champion
368
00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:56.299
of California. The champion of California? Who's that? Kenny Baker,
369
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.769
the Glendale Assassin. Oh, Kid Baker, eh? Say, I heard
370
00:23:00.809 --> 00:23:03.029
about him. He's plenty tough. When am I fighting Baker?
371
00:23:03.089 --> 00:23:04.009
Soon as we can catch him.
372
00:23:04.490 --> 00:23:04.670
Oh.
373
00:23:05.109 --> 00:23:06.630
Now, listen, Chief, why don't you get me a real
374
00:23:06.690 --> 00:23:08.910
fighter like Joe Lewis? I'm dying to meet him.
375
00:23:08.950 --> 00:23:10.279
You're fighting him next.
376
00:23:10.670 --> 00:23:14.900
That's the... What? Oh, well, you can't take it with you.
377
00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:19.500
But don't worry, Chief, because you're looking at the next
378
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.380
chance right now. That's the spirit. So long, killer.
379
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.779
So long. Goodbye, Sheila.
380
00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:24.220
Goodbye.
381
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.700
Well, we certainly fooled him up to the last line.
382
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.240
Oh, Killer. Killer, you're not really going through with this.
383
00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.559
Are you?
384
00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:32.420
Sure I am, Sheila.
385
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.400
Darling, you don't know what you're doing. Why, kid, Baker's dynamite.
386
00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:37.029
He'll cut you to ribbons. He'll mangle you.
387
00:23:37.369 --> 00:23:41.640
Who, me? He may be tough, Sheila, but I'll make
388
00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:43.680
enough dough out of this fight to retire. And when
389
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.109
we do, you're going to be Mrs. Killer Benny.
390
00:23:50.829 --> 00:23:52.990
Two months later, the scene is Madison Square Garden in
391
00:23:53.029 --> 00:23:55.450
New York City. The place is jammed with people and
392
00:23:55.509 --> 00:23:57.069
the main event is about to begin.
393
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:06.000
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event.
394
00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:10.980
In this corner... In black tights, we have the champion,
395
00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:17.640
Kid Baker of the Glendale Attachments. And in this corner,
396
00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:25.210
in cerise tights, we have the challenger, Killer Benny, the
397
00:24:25.250 --> 00:24:26.430
Lockheed and Wildcat.
398
00:24:26.710 --> 00:24:27.529
Hooray!
399
00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:28.470
Thanks, Sheila.
400
00:24:28.529 --> 00:24:32.690
Their weights, Killer Benny, 186 pounds.
401
00:24:32.710 --> 00:24:33.970
Kid Baker, 93 and a quarter.
402
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.599
Of course.
403
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.559
Collection!
404
00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:46.480
Ninety-three and a half!
405
00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:48.440
A lot of good that's going to do me. How
406
00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:49.200
do you feel, killer?
407
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.599
Okay, where's my glasses? I can't see a thing without them.
408
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.680
Here they are. Thanks.
409
00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:54.779
Good evening, folks. This is Pam Wilson talking from the
410
00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:56.119
ringside of Madison Square Garden.
411
00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:57.380
The referee is now.
412
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:58.960
Calling the contestants at the center of the ring for
413
00:24:58.980 --> 00:24:59.920
their final instructions.
414
00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:02.109
Now, listen, boys. You're both in here to do the
415
00:25:02.150 --> 00:25:02.730
best you can.
416
00:25:02.750 --> 00:25:03.069
Yeah.
417
00:25:03.329 --> 00:25:04.910
I want this to be a nice, clean fight, and
418
00:25:04.930 --> 00:25:06.750
when I tell you to sign a forecloset, I want
419
00:25:06.769 --> 00:25:11.259
you to celebrate with Sergeant Master Spaniel. Look, I don't
420
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.200
want any kind of assortment.
421
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:12.519
No.
422
00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:13.359
No coming up with assortment.
423
00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:15.160
No, no. Just for him to sort it out.
424
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.539
Yeah.
425
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.539
You understand?
426
00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:20.140
What?
427
00:25:20.529 --> 00:25:21.150
You understand?
428
00:25:21.329 --> 00:25:21.630
No.
429
00:25:21.930 --> 00:25:22.269
I do.
430
00:25:22.990 --> 00:25:23.230
Good.
431
00:25:23.690 --> 00:25:25.490
Now go to your quarters, boys, and when the bell rings,
432
00:25:25.789 --> 00:25:30.750
come out and say, this is Walter 77. Okay. Well,
433
00:25:31.029 --> 00:25:33.230
good luck, Baker. You're going to need it. Oh, yeah.
434
00:25:33.470 --> 00:25:35.220
I'll knock that toupee right off your chest.
435
00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:38.650
Well, it's gray, so have a little respect. Now, remember
436
00:25:38.809 --> 00:25:41.410
one thing, Baker. You're talking to the Walt Keegan Wildcat. Oh,
437
00:25:41.450 --> 00:25:42.059
I am, eh?
438
00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:44.259
Well, you're talking to the Glendale Narcissus.
439
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.099
That's a sass-a. Yeah.
440
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.269
All right, boys. Go to your corners. There's the bell, folks,
441
00:25:52.430 --> 00:25:54.279
and the fight is on. The boys meet in the
442
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:54.910
center of the ring.
443
00:25:54.990 --> 00:25:55.599
Hello, Kenny.
444
00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.299
Hello, Jack.
445
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:58.319
Benny leads with the right to the chin, and Baker
446
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:00.359
counters with the left to the jaw. Ouch.
447
00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:01.359
Pardon my glove.
448
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.000
Benny takes it with a smile.
449
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:05.819
He tries an uppercut, but misses. Baker comes back with
450
00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:08.309
an undercut, which falls short. Benny comes back with a
451
00:26:08.309 --> 00:26:10.029
New York cut, which Baker snaps at.
452
00:26:10.250 --> 00:26:11.230
What a fight, folks.
453
00:26:11.250 --> 00:26:11.950
What a fight.
454
00:26:11.990 --> 00:26:12.809
Come on, Keller.
455
00:26:12.829 --> 00:26:13.309
Knock him close.
456
00:26:13.750 --> 00:26:14.569
What's the matter with you?
457
00:26:14.609 --> 00:26:15.910
Sheila, stop talking to me.
458
00:26:15.930 --> 00:26:18.829
Sheila stops talking and Benny rushes Baker. Baker comes back
459
00:26:18.849 --> 00:26:19.630
with a right to the chin.
460
00:26:19.650 --> 00:26:20.190
A left. A right.
461
00:26:20.210 --> 00:26:20.410
A left.
462
00:26:20.430 --> 00:26:20.690
A right.
463
00:26:20.710 --> 00:26:20.910
A left.
464
00:26:20.930 --> 00:26:21.150
A right.
465
00:26:21.170 --> 00:26:21.630
And he's down.
466
00:26:21.650 --> 00:26:21.829
A one.
467
00:26:21.849 --> 00:26:22.329
A two. A three.
468
00:26:22.349 --> 00:26:22.490
A four.
469
00:26:22.509 --> 00:26:23.049
Then he's up.
470
00:26:23.069 --> 00:26:23.299
A right.
471
00:26:23.470 --> 00:26:23.730
A left.
472
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.210
A right. A left.
473
00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:25.039
And he's down.
474
00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:26.640
What am I, an elevator?
475
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:26.920
A one.
476
00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.279
A two.
477
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.019
A three.
478
00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.539
A four.
479
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:28.779
A two.
480
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.019
A three.
481
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:29.779
A four. A two.
482
00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.160
A two.
483
00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:30.400
A three.
484
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:30.880
A four.
485
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:31.200
A two.
486
00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:31.980
A two. A three.
487
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.259
A four.
488
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.119
A two. A two. A
three. A four.
489
00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.650
A two. A two.
490
00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:34.819
A two.
491
00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:35.299
A three.
492
00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:36.099
A four. A two.
493
00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:37.099
A two.
494
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:37.619
A two.
495
00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:37.829
A two.
496
00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.480
A three.
497
00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:39.119
A two.
498
00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.539
A two.
499
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:39.740
A two.
500
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.019
A two.
501
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.480
A two. A two.
502
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:40.740
A two.
503
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.019
A two.
504
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:41.230
A two.
505
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.559
A two.
506
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:41.960
A two.
507
00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.259
A two.
508
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:46.799
A two. A And ten.
509
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:57.140
Benny's out and Kid Baker is still champion.
510
00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.579
Oh, Killer.
511
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:01.960
Killer, say something. Speak to me. Speak to me.
512
00:27:02.829 --> 00:27:04.609
I sure gave it to that Benny, didn't I?
513
00:27:04.930 --> 00:27:05.569
You're Benny.
514
00:27:05.910 --> 00:27:07.369
Oh, for heaven's sake.
515
00:27:08.589 --> 00:27:11.509
Two years later, Killer Benny has retired from the ring,
516
00:27:11.650 --> 00:27:13.990
married his sweetheart Sheila, and settled down on a little
517
00:27:14.009 --> 00:27:16.230
farm in the country. Let's drop him off.
518
00:27:16.769 --> 00:27:18.029
Oh, Killer. Killer.
519
00:27:18.230 --> 00:27:18.970
What is it, honey?
520
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:20.319
Call the hogs, will you?
521
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:50.650
Okay. One of the oldest sayings I know is still
522
00:27:50.730 --> 00:27:53.390
as true as ever. Variety is the spice of life.
523
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:56.059
And here's a grand new dessert to add variety to
524
00:27:56.099 --> 00:28:00.539
your meals. It's the new Jell-O Vanilla Pudding, a creamy,
525
00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:04.259
smooth pudding dessert that's simply swell. It's so tempting to
526
00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:07.680
look at with a beautiful color and a real satiny texture.
527
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.779
And it's so good to eat with a rich, full flavor.
528
00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:15.240
For Jell-O Vanilla Pudding is made from real vanilla. No
529
00:28:15.309 --> 00:28:18.920
artificial flavoring. Then try the new Jell-O butterscotch pudding that's
530
00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:24.079
mellow with real old-fashioned butterscotch flavor. And try Jell-O chocolate pudding,
531
00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:27.640
smooth and rich and chocolatey, a prime favorite made a
532
00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:30.759
new and better way. For all three new Jell-O puddings
533
00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:33.519
are amazingly quick and easy to prepare. You'll find the
534
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.200
simple directions on every package. And you get puddings that
535
00:28:37.549 --> 00:28:41.210
have that old-time homemade goodness, made with the same fine
536
00:28:41.250 --> 00:28:44.529
ingredients you'd use yourself right in your own kitchen. They're
537
00:28:44.549 --> 00:28:48.059
delicious served either hot or cold. served plain or garnished
538
00:28:48.099 --> 00:28:50.960
with nuts and whipped cream. Get acquainted with the three
539
00:28:51.019 --> 00:28:54.569
new delicious desserts. The best way is to buy three
540
00:28:54.609 --> 00:28:57.690
packages at a time. So ask your grocer tomorrow for
541
00:28:57.769 --> 00:29:00.690

542
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.200

543
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.220

Gee, Jack, I think you played your part well. You
547
00:29:25.569 --> 00:29:28.410
were so natural and convincing. You look so cute in
548
00:29:28.430 --> 00:29:28.869
your tights.
549
00:29:29.269 --> 00:29:30.990
Oh, Mary, this is only a play on the radio.
550
00:29:31.009 --> 00:29:32.029
I'm not wearing tights.
551
00:29:32.369 --> 00:29:32.769
Oh, no?
552
00:29:32.789 --> 00:29:33.250
Take a look.
553
00:29:33.869 --> 00:29:37.200
Oh, darn it. My suspender's broke again. Good night, folks.
554
00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:40.299
