00:00:03.509 --> 00:00:06.910
The Grape Nuts Flakes Program, starring Jack Benny, with Mary Livingston,
2
00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:09.830
Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson.
3
00:00:11.470 --> 00:00:15.660
And now, here's the nationwide weather forecast. I slipped past
4
00:00:15.699 --> 00:00:17.699
the old sensor. I made it up myself.
5
00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:30.910
Tomorrow morning will be bright and sunny in all areas
6
00:00:30.949 --> 00:00:35.710
where delicious, malty-rich Grape Nuts Flakes are served for breakfast. Furthermore,
7
00:00:35.810 --> 00:00:38.049
all parts of the country will find Grape Nuts Flakes
8
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:42.039
a swell breakfast treat. They'll experience rising enjoyment to be
9
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.380
followed by a second dish. In fact, the popularity of
10
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:48.039
Grape Nuts Flakes will be so great, there'll be a
11
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.799
general shift to Grape Nuts Flakes every morning. And that, friends,
12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.700
is just my way of saying it's always fair weather
13
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.020
when you and Grape Nuts.
14
00:00:55.909 --> 00:00:57.009
Flakes get together.
15
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.909
Because the distinctive, delicious flavor of Grape Nuts Flakes is
16
00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:04.969
a blend of two delicious grains, sun-ripened wheat and malted barley.
17
00:01:05.609 --> 00:01:08.760
It's that same delicious Grape Nuts blend in toasty brown
18
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.879
flake form. So to make my forecast come true, say
19
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.640
Grape Nuts Flakes, please, to your grocer tomorrow.
20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:29.140
That was I Am an American played by the orchestra.
21
00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:47.290
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the election's being over. We bring
22
00:01:47.329 --> 00:01:49.560
you a man who was swept into office by an
23
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.250
overwhelming majority. the new sidewalk inspector of Beverly Hills, California,
24
00:01:55.670 --> 00:02:05.049
Jack Benny. Thank you, thank you.
25
00:02:05.109 --> 00:02:06.890
Hooray for Benny!
26
00:02:07.329 --> 00:02:12.960
Thank you, sir, thank you. Hello again, this is Jack
27
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.439
Betty talking. And first of all this evening, I'd like
28
00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.379
to thank my many friends in Beverly Hills who had
29
00:02:18.430 --> 00:02:23.669
the confidence and foresight to elect me chief inspector of sidewalks, driveways, curbings,
30
00:02:23.750 --> 00:02:35.020
and gutters. That's Beverly Hills for gutters, folks. So thanks again. Well,
31
00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:36.860
tell me, Jack, why in the world would you want
32
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.080
to become... Just a second, Don. And I'd also like
33
00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:41.800
to say a word to my worthy opponent, Elmer Snout.
34
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.300
Better luck next time, Elmer. Well, tell me, Jack, why
35
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.840
in the world would you want... Just a second. Just
36
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:50.340
a minute, darling. And I'd also like to state at
37
00:02:50.379 --> 00:02:53.810
this time that my campaign slogan will be faithfully executed.
38
00:02:54.409 --> 00:03:03.270
Sidewalk Jack will fix that crack. Yes, sir. Oh, hello, Mary.
39
00:03:03.289 --> 00:03:05.009
Hello, Governor. Congratulations.
40
00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:07.490
I didn't run for governor. I'm starting out at the bottom.
41
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:09.219
Well, you can't get lower than the gutter.
42
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.379
Never mind. Tell me, Jack, why in the world would
43
00:03:13.419 --> 00:03:16.360
you want to run for the office of sidewalk inspector? Well,
44
00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:17.659
it's very simple, Don.
45
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.460
Sure, Jack's always walking around with his head bent down,
46
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:22.060
so he might as well get 20 cents an hour
47
00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:25.710
for it.
48
00:03:25.750 --> 00:03:29.129
That's 22 cents, sister, and I get priorities on arch supporters.
49
00:03:29.409 --> 00:03:31.789
Where are you getting your arches?
50
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.900
From Little Rock Arch and Saw. I can go along
51
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.879
with a gag, you know. Anyway, I was elected by
52
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.530
an overwhelming majority, according to my campaign manager. Oh, by
53
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.629
the way, Jack, who handled your campaign? Uh, Jim Farley.
54
00:03:47.189 --> 00:03:47.990
And he, uh.
55
00:03:49.449 --> 00:03:52.189
No, he really put me over. Say, did Jim Farley
56
00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:53.930
come all the way from New York just to handle
57
00:03:53.949 --> 00:03:57.349
your campaign? Oh, uh, oh, this isn't the Farley you're
58
00:03:57.389 --> 00:04:02.449
thinking of, Donovan. This is Jim Far Lee. He's Chinese.
59
00:04:02.509 --> 00:04:04.169
He runs the Kumquat Inn over on Camden Drive.
60
00:04:04.189 --> 00:04:04.949
Chinese manager.
61
00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:06.349
Well, how much did the campaign cost.
62
00:04:06.229 --> 00:04:06.550
You, Jack?
63
00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:09.379
Oh, I'd say somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 yen.
64
00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:26.709
But it was worth it. My goodness, 8,000 yen. How
65
00:04:26.750 --> 00:04:27.910
much is that in American money?
66
00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:31.910
$ 2.
67
00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:29.910
40.
68
00:04:32.509 --> 00:04:35.540
It was more than $ 2. 40 for the picnic and outing alone.
69
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.019
So what are you talking about? Hiya, Jackson. Congratulations on
70
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.139
your election. Thanks, Phil. How does it feel to be
71
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:51.259
in the White House? Phil, I'm just sidewalk inspector. I'm
72
00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:53.560
not going to run for president for years. You know,
73
00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:58.189
Roosevelt's going to be glad
Load full transcript
to hear that. The only
74
00:04:58.230 --> 00:05:00.870
thing I can't understand about that gag, how did Phil
75
00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:12.629
know that Roosevelt was president? Say, maestro, what's that letter
76
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.459
you've got in your hand there? Oh, a kid gave
77
00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:15.879
it to me out in the hall. It's from one
78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:22.600
of my fans, no doubt, Lee. Let's see that. This
79
00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:25.529
letter's for Mary. It says Mary Livingston, see?
80
00:05:25.990 --> 00:05:27.889
Oh, yeah, I should have known. Her name is longer
81
00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:28.449
than mine.
82
00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:31.110
It's got different letters, too.
83
00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:33.410
Here it is, Mary.
84
00:05:33.509 --> 00:05:36.750
Thanks. Oh, Jack, this letter's for Mama.
85
00:05:36.829 --> 00:05:37.810
Come on, read it to us, Mary.
86
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:42.699
Yeah, what's Ration Brain got to say? Let's hear it.
87
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:48.259
Plainfield, New Jersey, November 5th. My darling daughter, Mary.
88
00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:49.990
pretty dull so far.
89
00:05:51.449 --> 00:05:53.029
Don't worry, Mom will get rolling.
90
00:05:54.029 --> 00:05:56.899
My darling daughter Mary, just in line to thank you
91
00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:58.980
for your lovely letter and your generous check.
92
00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:01.259
I say generous because I'm your mother.
93
00:06:02.230 --> 00:06:06.329
Boy, is she mercenary You'll be glad to know that
94
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.879
your Uncle Willie Hasn't been arrested since the dim out
95
00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:11.220
Nobody leaves their shades up anymore.
96
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:26.769
Too bad What else has Frizzle Top got to say?
97
00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:30.009
Go ahead. Your father and I went to New York
98
00:06:30.069 --> 00:06:32.769
last week and saw Jack and Ann Sheridan.
99
00:06:32.370 --> 00:06:34.560
In their new picture, George Washington Slept Here.
100
00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:35.189
Well.
101
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.860
There were a lot of laughs, especially when your father
102
00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.980
accused the man next to him of stealing his shoes.
103
00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:43.879
We're probably cold with no socks.
104
00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:48.060
Incidentally, Mary, I don't know if I ever told you this,
105
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:50.980
but George Washington is supposed to have slept right here
106
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.060
in our little stone house in Plainfield.
107
00:06:53.420 --> 00:06:54.339
Washington slept there?
108
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:56.040
So when Jack comes east.
109
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:57.980
Why doesn't he visit us and live in the same
110
00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.839
room that the father of our country did?
111
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.459
Well, that's sweet of her.
112
00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:04.439
I don't know what Washington paid, but it'll cost Blue
113
00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:05.569
Eyes three bucks a day.
114
00:07:14.129 --> 00:07:15.550
Good thing she called me Blue Eyes.
115
00:07:16.709 --> 00:07:19.290
No more news, so we'll close with love to all
116
00:07:19.689 --> 00:07:22.009
from your mother, Five by Five Livingston.
117
00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:27.250
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
118
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:30.350
Ain't she the one? Well, Phil, it's about time.
119
00:07:30.370 --> 00:07:31.290
Oh, wait a minute, Jack.
120
00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:31.629
Here's a P.S.
121
00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:35.060
Oh. Just heard from your brother Hillard, who's in the
122
00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:35.759
Air Corps.
123
00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:38.540
He must have received his wings all right, as he
124
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.389
has just been promoted to yard bird.
125
00:07:47.389 --> 00:07:50.649
Well, I'm glad that's over. Mary, when you answer that letter,
126
00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:52.870
tell your mother she ought to get a fountain pen
127
00:07:52.930 --> 00:07:54.000
with plenty of ink.
128
00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:56.500
You ink, too, once in a while.
129
00:08:01.550 --> 00:08:03.769
Never mind. Now, let's have a band number, Phil. I
130
00:08:03.790 --> 00:08:07.269
don't know why Mary's mother hates him so.
131
00:08:08.269 --> 00:08:10.269
¶ ¶.
132
00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:33.500
Thank you.
133
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.269
Thank you.
134
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.360
That was Massachusetts played by Phil Harris and his Cape
135
00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:52.649
Cod cut-ups. Incidentally, Phil, that's a peculiar title for a song,
136
00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:55.309
isn't it? Massachusetts. Well, after all, Jack, they've got a
137
00:09:55.330 --> 00:09:57.610
song called San Francisco, and they've got one called St.
138
00:09:57.649 --> 00:10:00.600
Louis Blues, and then there's that new one, Kalamazoo. What
139
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.519
about it? Well, Massachusetts is a big city.
140
00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:03.759
Why can't they have a song?
141
00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:09.929
Well, Massachusetts is not a city.
142
00:10:09.990 --> 00:10:10.590
It's a state.
143
00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:12.429
Oh, yeah. It's on the eastern sideboard.
144
00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:12.610
Yeah.
145
00:10:12.629 --> 00:10:16.730
Yeah. Well, thank heaven here's Dennis. Hello, kid.
146
00:10:16.850 --> 00:10:17.250
Hello, Mr.
147
00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:17.529
Benny.
148
00:10:17.570 --> 00:10:19.009
Congratulations on your election.
149
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.960
Well, thanks.
150
00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:22.679
Beverly Hills is going to have swell sidewalks now, by golly.
151
00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:24.379
Yeah, you said it.
152
00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:26.480
That new one in front of your house looks wonderful.
153
00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:31.639
Dennis.
154
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.000
Uh-huh.
155
00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:35.500
What are you hoeing about? Just so happens I inspected
156
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.399
my sidewalk first and I fixed it up.
And now... Hey, Jackson,
157
00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.279
that's a pretty tough job, ain't it? Crawling around on
158
00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:43.179
your hands and knees all day looking for cracks in
159
00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:46.330
the sidewalk. Well.
160
00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:48.850
Who crawls around? He's got an anteater on a leash.
161
00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:54.990
That's not an anteater. That's Barney Dean, my assistant. He's
162
00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:58.940
a short fellow with a flexible nose. And now, folks,
163
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.120
for the first time this season, we shall delight and
164
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.480
thrill you with an original one-act play written by Mr.
165
00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:10.059
Don Wilson, our old, fat Noel Coward. Take it, Mr. Wilson.
166
00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:14.110
The scene, ladies and gentlemen, is the little cottage of Mr.
167
00:11:14.149 --> 00:11:14.490
and Mrs.
168
00:11:14.649 --> 00:11:15.429
Oglethorpe J.
169
00:11:15.490 --> 00:11:20.049
Twink in Glendale, California. It is breakfast time, and Mr. Twink,
170
00:11:20.110 --> 00:11:24.389
played by Jack Benny, the eminent politician... Hooray for Benny!
171
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.720
Thank you, thank you, sir. is awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Twink,
172
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.960
his wife, who is a welder on the night shift
173
00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:51.120
in one of our huge aircraft factories. Curtain music. Oh, dear.
174
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:56.990
7 a.m. and Clarabelle isn't home yet. It's payday, too.
175
00:11:57.029 --> 00:11:58.610
I hope she didn't get into a crap game with
176
00:11:58.649 --> 00:12:03.370
some of the girls. Oh, well, she works hard. She's
177
00:12:03.389 --> 00:12:06.549
entitled to a little fun, I guess. I wonder who
178
00:12:06.590 --> 00:12:10.460
that is. Come in. Why, it's the ice girl.
179
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:10.529
Oh.
180
00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:13.179
Hello, Gloria.
181
00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:14.820
Any ice today, Twinkie?
182
00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:18.169
Darn you, Gloria. For the third time today, no. I'm
183
00:12:18.210 --> 00:12:18.950
a married man.
184
00:12:19.610 --> 00:12:20.129
Oh, come on.
185
00:12:20.169 --> 00:12:21.870
Don't you want a cake of ice, sweetie?
186
00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:24.190
No, and take your foot out of the door. If
187
00:12:29.889 --> 00:12:32.440
my wife finds you here, heaven knows what'll happen. I'll scram.
188
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.299
Okay, cutie. I'll see you tomorrow.
189
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:42.190
That Gloria's fresher than the fuller brush girl. Well, I
190
00:12:42.230 --> 00:12:44.730
might as well get started getting breakfast ready for the twins.
191
00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:48.450
They love those toasty browns, sweet as a nut, great
192
00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:57.159
nuts flakes. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Just like
193
00:12:57.179 --> 00:13:05.409
the ones I used to have. Where the treetops glistened. Clarabelle,
194
00:13:05.450 --> 00:13:07.409
where have you been? It's almost 8 o'clock.
195
00:13:07.529 --> 00:13:09.730
Now, now, honey, stop nagging and give me a kiss.
196
00:13:10.129 --> 00:13:12.320
Get away from me with those greasy hands. I've got
197
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:19.500
a clean apron on. Now, you tidy up.
198
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.759
Okay, hand me the Dutch cleanser. I want to wash
199
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.299
my face.
200
00:13:22.789 --> 00:13:23.809
There you are.
201
00:13:26.029 --> 00:13:30.559
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the... You
202
00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.419
want some breakfast, dear?
203
00:13:31.539 --> 00:13:33.159
Yes, but first give me my kiss.
204
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:34.159
Now, Clarabelle.
205
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.250
Come on, kiss me.
206
00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:38.879
Not so early in the morning. Oh, God, don't be
207
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.529
so rough, Clarabelle. Now, you broke the clasp on my
208
00:13:41.570 --> 00:13:44.110
slave bracelet. Look.
209
00:13:44.470 --> 00:13:46.289
Well, I'll take it to the plant tonight and weld
210
00:13:46.309 --> 00:13:46.809
it for you.
211
00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.139
By the way, Ogle Fork, aren't the twins up yet?
212
00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:54.950
Joe and Josephine? Here they come now. Hello, Joe. Hello, Dowardy.
213
00:13:55.490 --> 00:14:05.779
Hello, Josephine.
214
00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:06.860
I want to be Joe.
215
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:07.899
You're Josephine.
216
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.139
Josephine.
217
00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:17.840
Now sit down, children, and have your toasty brown, sweet
218
00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:20.990
as a nut, grape nuts plate. Oh, Judy, toasty brown,
219
00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:30.710
sweet as a nut, grape nuts plate. Aren't you going
220
00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:31.590
to have breakfast, dear?
221
00:14:31.730 --> 00:14:32.960
Not till you give me that kiss.
222
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.460
Come on. Clarabelle, not in front of the children.
223
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.620
Now you let me go. Mama's kissing Daddy.
224
00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:40.500
Mama's kissing Daddy.
225
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:46.070
Children, behave yourselves. And you too, Clarabelle. Sit down and
226
00:14:46.090 --> 00:14:46.929
eat your great-grandson.
227
00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:49.309
You left that toasty brown sweet as a nut.
228
00:14:49.909 --> 00:14:55.779
Oh, yes. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like.
229
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.179
The ones I used to know.
230
00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.899
Uh-oh, it's Gloria.
231
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.559
Say, Twinkie, honey, did I leave my ice tongs here?
232
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.139
Jiggers, Gloria, my wife is home.
233
00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:07.909
Oh, so she calls you Twinkie, honey, eh? So you've
234
00:15:07.929 --> 00:15:09.350
been playing around with that ice girl.
235
00:15:09.409 --> 00:15:15.899
I have not. I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
236
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.580
You're going to have a white Christmas.
237
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.299
Bandages.
238
00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:20.289
Clarabelle, now put me down.
239
00:15:21.570 --> 00:15:22.549
Clarabelle, out.
240
00:15:23.129 --> 00:15:26.169
Out. And so we leave, Mr. Twink, chin up but
241
00:15:26.210 --> 00:15:28.710
with blackened eyes and with the happy knowledge that his
242
00:15:28.769 --> 00:15:31.750
wife's entire family is about to enjoy a breakfast of
243
00:15:31.789 --> 00:15:35.179
those toasty brown sweeties and that great nuts flakes. I
244
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:49.250
thank you. Thank you. Well, Don, that really was a
245
00:15:49.370 --> 00:15:51.990
very good sketch. Oh, thanks, Jack. And now, Dennis, about
246
00:15:52.029 --> 00:15:53.769
time for your number. What are you going to sing?
247
00:15:53.950 --> 00:15:55.730
Well, I was going to sing White Christmas, but you
248
00:15:55.750 --> 00:15:58.029
just did it in the play. All right, so I
249
00:15:58.070 --> 00:15:58.570
sang it.
250
00:15:58.809 --> 00:15:59.509
What's the difference?
251
00:15:59.750 --> 00:16:01.129
That song is washed up, brother.
252
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.980
I only hummed a little of it. Now go ahead
253
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.419
and sing. Washed up.
254
00:16:19.549 --> 00:16:40.679
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the one.
255
00:16:48.129 --> 00:17:01.029
Where the peacocks listen, and children listen, who hear play
256
00:17:01.049 --> 00:17:01.929
bells in the snow.
257
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:11.410
I'm dreaming of a white.
258
00:17:12.769 --> 00:17:19.220
Christmas with every Christmas card I write.
259
00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:31.829
May your day be merry and bright. All your Christmases
260
00:17:32.049 --> 00:17:39.069
be white The sun is shining, the grass is green
261
00:17:39.109 --> 00:17:44.250
The orange and palm trees sway There's never been such
262
00:17:44.490 --> 00:17:53.509
a day In Beverly Hills, LA But it's December the
263
00:17:53.589 --> 00:17:57.089
24th And I am longing to be alive.
264
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.880
I dream of white curtains.
265
00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:19.430
Just like the ones I used to know. May your
266
00:18:19.509 --> 00:18:44.779
day be merry and bright. © BF-WATCH TV 2021.
267
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:19.730
Very good. Very good. That was... I'm a dreaming of
268
00:19:19.789 --> 00:19:24.569
a wild Christmas. Sung by Dennis Day. And very good, kid.
269
00:19:24.589 --> 00:19:25.289
That was all right.
270
00:19:25.450 --> 00:19:27.150
Speaking of Christmas, Mr. Benny, what are you going to
271
00:19:27.170 --> 00:19:27.950
give me for a present?
272
00:19:28.549 --> 00:19:30.150
Now, wait a minute, Dennis. No need to worry about
273
00:19:30.190 --> 00:19:33.299
your present so soon. Christmas is almost two months away.
274
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:34.440
I mean last Christmas.
275
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.559
You got a very nice gift for me last year,
276
00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.519
a beautiful pipe.
277
00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:44.700
An opium pipe. I'll get pinched if I use it.
278
00:19:51.750 --> 00:19:54.910
That pipe is for blowing soap bubbles. What an imagination
279
00:19:54.930 --> 00:19:57.890
that kid's got. Oh, he's talking. I'll have to slug
280
00:19:57.930 --> 00:20:03.130
him one of these days. You know, fellas... You know, fellas,
281
00:20:03.170 --> 00:20:05.140
this Christmas, I'm not gonna buy.
282
00:20:06.789 --> 00:20:08.069
I hope it's that cute ice girl.
283
00:20:08.109 --> 00:20:09.329
The play is over now, you know.
284
00:20:09.910 --> 00:20:13.769
Come in. Well, look who's here. Wait till I say,
285
00:20:13.789 --> 00:20:14.430
look who's here.
286
00:20:14.450 --> 00:20:15.670
Well, look who's here.
287
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:26.720
How are you? I was in such a hurry to
288
00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.200
get on.
289
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:29.640
Andy Devine, how are you?
290
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.829
Well, Andy, it's about time you'd been paying us a visit.
291
00:20:32.049 --> 00:20:33.309
Why haven't you been around before?
292
00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:35.490
Oh, we've been pretty busy on the farm, but I've
293
00:20:35.549 --> 00:20:37.309
got a lot of harvesting to do.
294
00:20:37.329 --> 00:20:37.400
Huh?
295
00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:41.099
Well, that's really a problem now with the shortage of
296
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.140
help and everything, huh?
297
00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:43.839
Well, it worked out swell for us.
298
00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:49.509
We got 12 pretty college girls helping us pick tomatoes. Pretty.
299
00:20:49.730 --> 00:20:51.369
Pretty, eh?
300
00:20:52.069 --> 00:20:55.109
Say, I bet that makes your pa happy, eh? Oh,
301
00:20:55.150 --> 00:20:56.970
he loves it, Buck. I caught him out in the
302
00:20:56.990 --> 00:20:58.990
field with all the girls yesterday and he had a
303
00:20:59.049 --> 00:21:02.470
salt and food on. A sultan suit? You mean he
304
00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:03.500
was dressed like a sultan?
305
00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:05.160
Yeah, with a turkey towel and.
306
00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:06.680
A pair of Ma's red bloomers.
307
00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:14.880
What? He was loaded. Well, Andy, isn't your Ma jealous?
308
00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:16.700
I mean, your father out in the field chasing all
309
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.900
those pretty girls? Oh, you'll never catch him, Buck.
310
00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:21.549
Ma's got a flat iron tied to his beard.
311
00:21:24.349 --> 00:21:24.589
Well.
312
00:21:25.430 --> 00:21:27.269
That's one way to keep the old boy down. Well,
313
00:21:27.289 --> 00:21:28.710
it's nice of you to drop in, Andy.
314
00:21:28.750 --> 00:21:29.230
So long.
315
00:21:29.329 --> 00:21:31.970
So long. Oh, by the way, I nearly forgot.
316
00:21:32.009 --> 00:21:33.930
Are you still interested in buying a horse?
317
00:21:34.630 --> 00:21:37.339
Yes, I've been looking at horses all week. Now that
318
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.779
I haven't got the Maxwell anymore.
319
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.119
Well, I got just the animal you want.
320
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.619
Paul's out in the hall with it right now. You
321
00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:45.380
got a horse out in the lobby of NBC?
322
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.700
Yeah, I'll show her to you. Now, Andy.
323
00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:53.039
Come on in, Paul.
324
00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:54.099
Bring Leona with you.
325
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.200
I don't want a horse in this studio.
326
00:21:56.369 --> 00:21:57.009
Don't worry.
327
00:21:57.069 --> 00:21:59.109
She's gentle as a lamb.
328
00:21:59.150 --> 00:21:59.710
Oh, my goodness.
329
00:22:00.390 --> 00:22:02.269
Hold her back.
330
00:22:02.569 --> 00:22:05.549
Hold her back, Paul.
331
00:22:05.829 --> 00:22:07.650
I've got her.
332
00:22:08.109 --> 00:22:09.299
Hold her, Leona.
333
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:10.480
Hold her. Look out.
334
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.799
Look out. Watch out for the orchestra.
335
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:17.539
Oh, for Pete's sake.
336
00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:17.880
Oh, no.
337
00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:25.319
What a mess.
338
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:27.619
Hey, Pa, you remember Jack Benny, don't you?
339
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.460
Hey.
340
00:22:28.859 --> 00:22:29.559
Jack Benny.
341
00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.500
Hey.
342
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.000
He's a little deaf, Buck. Jack Benny, Pa. Oh, yes,
343
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:34.859
how are you, Buck?
344
00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.119
Glad to see you, Mr.
345
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:37.380
Devine.
346
00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:43.240
Who's the brunetti? Well, that's Barry Livingston. This is Andy's father, Mary. Hello, Mr.
347
00:22:43.250 --> 00:22:48.910
Devine. Oh, I wish I had my bloomers on, don't you?
348
00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.140
Why, Mr.
349
00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:53.359
Devine. Well, how about the horse, Buckley?
350
00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.759
Oh, there's a mighty goodbye.
351
00:22:55.140 --> 00:23:00.069
A goodbye? A goodbye, goodbye.
352
00:23:00.869 --> 00:23:05.609
So long, everybody.
353
00:23:05.650 --> 00:23:05.789
Mr.
354
00:23:05.809 --> 00:23:08.490
Devine, come back here. Now, Andy, I want a horse,
355
00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:10.009
all right, but this one's pretty old.
356
00:23:10.309 --> 00:23:13.150
What are you talking about? Me want is a glamour girl.
357
00:23:15.369 --> 00:23:15.890
Glamour girl.
358
00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:16.950
Look at that sway back.
359
00:23:17.450 --> 00:23:20.519
Her stomach is touching the floor. Hey. I said her
360
00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.920
stomach is touching the floor.
361
00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.720
I know.
362
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.539
I'll give her a girdle.
363
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:29.160
To the rubber drive.
364
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.099
Well, I wish I knew how old she was.
365
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.460
Well, look at her teeth, Jack.
366
00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:36.890
That's a good way to tell. Oh, yes. Would you mind...
367
00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:39.390
Would you mind showing me her teeth, Mr. Devine?
368
00:23:40.230 --> 00:23:40.549
Spread them.
369
00:23:41.130 --> 00:23:49.750
Here you are. Put them back in her mouth. Oh,
370
00:23:49.769 --> 00:23:52.009
I don't know what to do about that, Boris. Oh,
371
00:23:52.069 --> 00:23:52.670
buy it, Jack.
372
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:54.769
If he's rascaling coming in, they come in handy.
373
00:23:55.650 --> 00:23:57.619
Mary, stay out of it. How much will you give
374
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:01.400
him for a buck? Well, let's see. Let's see.
375
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:05.460
Better hurry up, I might, and I've got her.
376
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.380
Soul to be in trouble.
377
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:13.839
That I can believe. Well, I'll tell you what. Ten
378
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:27.910
dollars is the best. Thank you. Well, here you are, Mr. Devine.
379
00:24:28.190 --> 00:24:37.349
Here's a $ 5 bill. Thanks. And here's 5-1. That's 6, 7, 8, 9...
380
00:24:37.349 --> 00:24:43.329
Hold everything. I'm not taking.
381
00:24:46.109 --> 00:24:49.890
That horse. Give me that money back.
382
00:24:50.750 --> 00:24:58.039
There's nothing to get excited about.
383
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.859
He's just got a little.
384
00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.240
Cold.
385
00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:05.579
A cold?
386
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.609
Bless you. Well, I guess I'm hooked. Might as well
387
00:25:09.650 --> 00:25:11.150
have the horn. Come on, Leona, you go out in
388
00:25:11.210 --> 00:25:11.450
the hall.
389
00:25:11.769 --> 00:25:12.259
Get going now.
390
00:25:14.890 --> 00:25:16.369
Come on. Oh, yeah.
391
00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:18.990
Oh, whoa, whoa, Leona.
392
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.640
Leona, look out.
393
00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.819
There she goes again.
394
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.440
Leona, hold still.
395
00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.339
Whoa, Leona.
396
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.140
Hey, Jackson, this phone call's for you.
397
00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:34.279
Well, I'll be... Hello?
398
00:25:34.579 --> 00:25:35.220
Hello, Mr.
399
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:36.039
Cannon, Rochester.
400
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:40.940
Whoa.
401
00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.160
Whoa.
402
00:25:42.849 --> 00:25:43.119
Whoa, Leo.
403
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:43.670
Whoa.
404
00:25:44.029 --> 00:25:45.450
Whoa, whoa. What do you want, Rochester?
405
00:25:45.549 --> 00:25:47.049
Everything's all set for us.
406
00:25:47.109 --> 00:25:47.950
I just bought a horse.
407
00:25:48.450 --> 00:25:48.710
What?
408
00:25:48.750 --> 00:25:51.089
I told you to look at horses, and I'd buy one.
409
00:25:51.329 --> 00:25:55.170
But this one's a bargain. I got a bag of horse,
410
00:25:55.230 --> 00:25:57.869
a racing farm, and a jockey with it.
411
00:25:57.910 --> 00:26:00.970
Now, look, Rochester. I just bought a horse for $ 10.
412
00:26:00.849 --> 00:26:02.549
Well, the one I bought is breathing.
413
00:26:05.009 --> 00:26:06.730
I pay an AP. Mine's breathing, too.
414
00:26:06.849 --> 00:26:07.130
Whoa, Leo.
415
00:26:07.670 --> 00:26:07.950
Whoa.
416
00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:08.450
Whoa.
417
00:26:08.589 --> 00:26:08.890
Hey, generous.
418
00:26:08.970 --> 00:26:09.470
Watch out.
419
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.230
What's wrong?
420
00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:14.119
Leona just kicked you in the head.
421
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.559
She did?
422
00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:18.519
I'd better get some aspirin.
423
00:26:18.619 --> 00:26:21.480
Now, Rochester. Yes, sir? Whoa, whoa, Leona, whoa.
424
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.460
You take that horse back to the man and get
425
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.579
your $ 18. I can only get ten.
426
00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:26.700
He's paid me.
427
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:27.900
$ 8, 000 for making it.
428
00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:28.339
And get.
429
00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:32.599
The ten bucks.
430
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:35.960
We don't want two horses around the house. Whoa, whoa, Leona.
431
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:37.000
Whoa, goodbye, Rochester.
432
00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:38.200
Come on, boss.
433
00:26:41.299 --> 00:26:46.259
Leona, give me back that cigar. Andy, will you please
434
00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:49.539
take that horse out in the hall and sign her up?
435
00:26:49.569 --> 00:26:50.769
What am I trying to do?
436
00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:53.750
I don't want.
437
00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:56.470
To pay for anything.
438
00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:59.150
Okay, come on, Leona, come on.
439
00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:01.950
Thank heaven that's it.
440
00:27:01.990 --> 00:27:02.829
Well, at least I got a horse.
441
00:27:02.869 --> 00:27:03.640
Play for us.
442
00:27:07.170 --> 00:27:09.460
And just because you find that meat and some of
443
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:12.180
the other nutritious foods are growing scarcer and more expensive,
444
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.599
don't deprive yourself of the nourishment you need for robust
445
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.970
health and well-being. For instance, if you're eating less meat,
446
00:27:19.490 --> 00:27:22.029
then eat more of the other things that supply many
447
00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:24.890
of the food values of meat, such as whole grain
448
00:27:24.950 --> 00:27:28.279
cereals with lots of milk. For whole grain cereals like
449
00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:32.710
grape nuts flakes are plentiful, nutritious, and thrifty. In every
450
00:27:32.750 --> 00:27:35.750
helping of toasty brown grape nuts, flakes, and milk, you
451
00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:40.049
get remarkably well-balanced nourishment. You get protein and minerals such
452
00:27:40.089 --> 00:27:43.490
as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. And grape nuts, flakes give
453
00:27:43.529 --> 00:27:46.900
you two of the important B vitamins, niacin to help
454
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.359
prevent loss of appetite and weight, plus vitamin B1, the
455
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:54.079
nerve and energy vitamin, essential food factors we need more
456
00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:56.970
than ever. So to help keep your family up to par,
457
00:27:57.410 --> 00:28:01.880
serve them delicious, malty-rich Grape Nuts Flakes and milk every day.
458
00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:07.339
That was the last number of the sixth program of
459
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.140
the new Grape Nuts Flakes series. And next Sunday, we're
460
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.180
broadcasting from the Naval Air Base at Terminal Island, California.
461
00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:16.269
I'd like to announce that the part of Andy Devine's
462
00:28:16.349 --> 00:28:20.670
father was played by his father, Chester Goff, I mean
463
00:28:20.710 --> 00:28:24.339
Norris Goff, Who is Lum of Abner. I mean Abner
464
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:25.970
of Lum and Abner.
465
00:28:26.269 --> 00:28:27.369
My dog is now he's.
466
00:28:27.250 --> 00:28:28.220
Got me all mixed up.
467
00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.319
Yeah.
468
00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:30.690
Hey, I'm going to marry. I'm going to marry.
