00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:12.259
With Are You Ready? Ladies and gentlemen, I have you
2
00:00:12.339 --> 00:00:14.929
a treat in store for you. What a grand surprise
3
00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:19.079
the moment you discover Jell-O's new locked-in flavor. Never until
4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.500
now has any gelatin dessert been able to bring you
5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.649
so much delightful goodness. Because up until now, gelatin desserts
6
00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:29.079
constantly faded in flavor while waiting to be used and
7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.090
brought you only a shadow of their original richness. But
8
00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:36.500
that's all been changed. Today, Jell-O's tempting, tantalizing flavor is
9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.280
locked right into the tiny Jell-O particles, where time can't
10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.600
get at it to steal it away. No matter how
11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.960
long Jell-O remains in the package, it retains its luscious
12
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.380
flavor to the very last. Now, you be the judge.
13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.520
Open a package of Jell-O. Notice the absence of any heavy,
14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.950
fruity aroma, the usual sign of escaping flavor. Then dissolve Jell-O,
15
00:00:56.049 --> 00:00:59.549
and presto, there's your flavor, all of it, the full-strength
16
00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:02.609
flavor of Jell-O. as rich and vivid as the day
17
00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:06.950
it was locked into Jell-O's delicate crystal-like particles. So try Jell-O,
18
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:10.519
now made better than ever by Jell-O's new locked-in process.
19
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.239
The flavor never goes away. We put it in, and
20
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:14.500
it's there to stay.
21
00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:15.640
The End.
22
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.959
That was Are You Ready, played by the orchestra. And now,
23
00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:41.049
ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, next Friday, October 31st,
24
00:01:41.109 --> 00:01:44.609
is Halloween. And we'll be celebrated by gay parties throughout
25
00:01:44.650 --> 00:01:45.049
the land.
26
00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:47.030
Yes, sir. We'll play games and everything.
27
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.840
So tonight, we bring you a man who always loses
28
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.760
his bridge bobbing for apples, Jack Benny.
29
00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:01.859
Thank you. Thank you.
30
00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:02.370
Hello again.
31
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:06.150
This is Jack Benny talking. And Don, that was a
32
00:02:06.329 --> 00:02:11.259
very funny introduction. Losing my bridge, bobbing for apples. Did
33
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.460
you think of that all by yourself?
34
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:13.740
Yes, I did, Jack.
35
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.560
It was my own little brainchild. Well, it certainly is clever.
36
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.939
I mean, the way you expose all my faults and
37
00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:22.930
my defects. People enjoy it, too.
38
00:02:23.009 --> 00:02:24.430
Yes, yes, they do.
39
00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:28.030
You know, Don, they have a program out here where
40
00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:30.750
a man sits by himself in a small room and
41
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:34.969
plays phonograph records all night long. He's called Hank the
42
00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:35.710
Night Watchman.
43
00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:36.569
Uh-huh.
44
00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:39.389
Well, one more introduction like that and you're going to
45
00:02:39.409 --> 00:02:49.280
be known as Don the Deca Dayman. In other words,
46
00:02:49.419 --> 00:02:51.120
I don't want to set the world on fire. I
47
00:02:51.139 --> 00:02:55.780
just want to start a flame with your contract. By
48
00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:58.919
the way, Don, getting back to Halloween... Oh, hello, Mary.
49
00:02:59.280 --> 00:02:59.800
Hello, Jack.
50
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:00.680
How are you?
51
00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:02.479
Getting back to Halloween... Oh.
52
00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.060
Oh, fine, thanks.
53
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.080
Getting back to Halloween.
54
00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:06.439
You didn't have to answer me, you know.
55
00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:08.150
What's that for?
56
00:03:08.169 --> 00:03:10.930
Coming in so mad. What's the matter with you today?
57
00:03:11.169 --> 00:03:13.150
Well, you know that new usher they got at the
58
00:03:13.169 --> 00:03:15.289
reception desk? That tall, good-looking fellow?
59
00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:15.789
Yeah.
60
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:17.750
When I came in just now, he winked at me.
61
00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:19.370
Oh, a fresh guy, huh?
62
00:03:19.729 --> 00:03:21.090
He's not going to take me out tonight.
63
00:03:21.669 --> 00:03:22.949
Well, I don't blame you.
64
00:03:23.090 --> 00:03:24.110
I asked him, but he's busy.
65
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:30.819
All right, so much for romance.
66
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.180
Now, Don, what were we, uh... Oh, you mentioned something
67
00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:34.979
about Halloween.
68
00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:35.759
Oh, yes.
69
00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:37.539
Are you going out with us next Friday night and
70
00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:39.939
have some fun? You know, ring doorbells and everything?
71
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.280
Oh, I don't know.
72
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.379
You don't have the excitement nowadays that you used to
73
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:44.180
have on Halloween.
74
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.319
I guess you're right.
75
00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:47.759
Well, I remember back in Denver when I was a kid,
76
00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:50.120
we used to have a time of our lives. Denver?
77
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.280
You should have seen the way we celebrated Halloween in
78
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:55.780
a little country town like Waukegan. The old-fashioned pranks we
79
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.960
used to play. But kids don't have fun like that anymore.
80
00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:00.379
What do you

want, plumbing or fun?
81
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:00.939
Oh, gosh.
82
00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:15.460
Guys, Don, the things I.
83
00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:16.680
Used to do in those days.
84
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.680
I'll never forget one Halloween. You know, I was a
85
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.279
little boy then, and I took the chop suey sign
86
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.740
off a Chinese restaurant and nailed it over the front
87
00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:27.899
door of our house. Oh, boy. The chop suey sign, huh?
88
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.379
Was your father mad when he saw it?
89
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.500
No, he just hung a tail on his derby and
90
00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:39.279
went into business. That's how my sister Florence came to
91
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:45.850
be known as Lotus Blossom. At some restaurant, chopped liver
92
00:04:45.949 --> 00:04:49.689
and suey. And then the following year... The.
93
00:04:51.709 --> 00:04:52.370
Following year.
94
00:04:52.389 --> 00:04:56.470
Oh, hello, Phil. Are you coming out with us Halloween? Yeah, Jackson,
95
00:04:56.490 --> 00:04:58.230
but I can't meet you until after 9 o'clock. I
96
00:04:58.250 --> 00:04:59.189
got to go to night school.
97
00:04:59.870 --> 00:04:59.930
Oh.
98
00:04:59.930 --> 00:05:01.839
Well, I'll tell you what, Phil. We'll meet you in
99
00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:03.500
front of the school about 9.15.
100
00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:03.920
How's that?
101
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:05.899
Okay, I'll bring my long pants with me and.
102
00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:06.310
Slip them on.
103
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.360
What? Now, wait a minute, Phil. Don't tell me you
104
00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:12.620
wear short pants to night school. Look, Jackson, I'm in
105
00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:14.220
third grade, and I'm going to dress like it.
106
00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:19.379
Oh, by all means. Third grade, eh?
107
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.370
The rate you're going, you'll get your Social Security and
108
00:05:22.410 --> 00:05:28.209
diploma on the same night. No kidding, Phil. Why don't
109
00:05:28.250 --> 00:05:30.089
you give up night school?
110
00:05:30.189 --> 00:05:30.730
Nothing doing.
111
00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:31.790
I don't want to be a maroon.
112
00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:38.029
That's more like it. Look, they'll just wear your short
113
00:05:38.069 --> 00:05:41.769
pants all the time. Say, I wonder, um... I wonder
114
00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:44.620
if Dennis wants to come along Friday. Where is the kid, anyway?
115
00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:46.800
I called him yesterday, and his mother told me that
116
00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:48.819
he's been asleep ever since we got back from New York.
117
00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:53.360
Well, I'll be darned. See, I didn't know the kid
118
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.120
was so lazy.
119
00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:56.379
What do you mean, lazy? You made Dennis share your
120
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.120
berth on the train, then you snored so loud he
121
00:05:58.139 --> 00:05:59.220
couldn't rest for four nights.
122
00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:01.139
Oh, for heaven's sake, Mary.
123
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.560
It's impossible for me to snore because I recently had
124
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.639
my adenoids removed.
125
00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:06.439
I had an operation.
126
00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:07.360
Some operation.
127
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:13.620
Rochester hasn't even got a license.
128
00:06:15.339 --> 00:06:16.019
Oh, stop.
129
00:06:16.490 --> 00:06:18.629
You thought he couldn't build me a barbecue pit, either.
130
00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:21.110
You should see it.
131
00:06:21.910 --> 00:06:24.910
Say, Don, speaking of our trip, I meant to ask you,
132
00:06:25.110 --> 00:06:28.410
is your wife still mad at me for putting you.
133
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:29.129
Both in one berth?
134
00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.519
Well, I thought she was, Jack, but strangely enough, as
135
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.300
I was leaving the house this morning, she handed me
136
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:34.800
a cake.
137
00:06:35.629 --> 00:06:35.990
A cake?
138
00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:41.410
Yes, she baked it especially for you. Especially for me, eh?
139
00:06:41.589 --> 00:06:43.110
I'll give it to you right after the broadcast.
140
00:06:43.689 --> 00:06:46.879
Hmm. Well, especially for me, eh?
141
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:51.149
Well, thanks very much, Don, but you see, I'm on
142
00:06:51.189 --> 00:06:53.470
a diet right now, and I have to cut out
143
00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:54.490
fattening poison.
144
00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:58.709
I mean, cake.
145
00:06:58.829 --> 00:07:01.990
Uh, thanks.
146
00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:03.230
Thanks a lot, though.
147
00:07:03.509 --> 00:07:04.829
Oh, Jack, don't be silly.
148
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:05.089
Mrs.
149
00:07:05.129 --> 00:07:07.569
Wilson wouldn't poison you. She's one of the nicest girls
150
00:07:07.649 --> 00:07:08.290
I ever met.
151
00:07:08.509 --> 00:07:10.350
Listen, Mary, I saw a show in New York called
152
00:07:10.490 --> 00:07:13.209
Arsenic and Olay, and two of the sweetest old ladies
153
00:07:13.230 --> 00:07:15.649
you ever laid your eyes on bumped off a dozen men.
154
00:07:15.670 --> 00:07:16.970
Twelve of them.
155
00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:19.100
Yes, but they gave me elderberry wine.
156
00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:23.040
What you can do with wine, you can do with cake.
157
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.120
I ain't eating it, sister.
158
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.959
Oh, Jackson, don't act like a baby.
159
00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:28.879
All right, Phil, let's.
160
00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:31.199
Drop the cake and have a band number. Tell Peggy
161
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:31.980
a thanks, Don.
162
00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:34.300
Well, how about a number, Phil? What are you going
163
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:34.660
to play?
164
00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:35.519
Now, wait a minute, Jackson.
165
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:36.899
You won't laugh if I tell you, will you?
166
00:07:37.430 --> 00:07:37.850
No, no.
167
00:07:37.870 --> 00:07:41.149
What's it going to be? Poet and peasant overture. Are
168
00:07:41.189 --> 00:07:43.610
you kidding? Well, let's have it.
169
00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:45.990
I may be sorry I didn't eat that cake before
170
00:07:46.029 --> 00:07:47.790
this was over.
171
00:07:47.829 --> 00:08:44.340
The End Thank you.
172
00:08:57.789 --> 00:08:58.360
THE END.
173
00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:52.159
That was a special arrangement of poet and peasant overture
174
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.169
played by Phil Harris and his peasant. There can't be
175
00:09:56.230 --> 00:10:01.169
a poet in that bunch.
176
00:10:01.509 --> 00:10:02.860
That number was okay, Phil.
177
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.320
You like that, Jackson? Yes, but I have one suggestion
178
00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:06.980
to make. If you're going to play a number like
179
00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:12.080
that every week, I think I'll have to augment your orchestra. Augment? Yes.
180
00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.639
Tell him what it means before he puts on his
181
00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:15.879
short pants again.
182
00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:21.450
Phil, augment means to increase or enlarge. For instance, you
183
00:10:21.490 --> 00:10:24.350
ought to add a bassoon to your orchestra and a
184
00:10:24.409 --> 00:10:27.769
French horn and a harp. Sorry, Jackson, the harp's out.
185
00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:28.870
What do you mean?
186
00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:30.590
I had one once and all the boys hung their
187
00:10:30.629 --> 00:10:33.779
socks on it. Oh, well, if you add a bassoon,
188
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.179
you can hit them over the head for doing it.
189
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.360
And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our first play of
190
00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:40.559
the new season, we are going to.
191
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:42.539
Well, look who's here.
192
00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:43.240
Hiya, Mr.
193
00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:44.720
Benny. Hello, everybody.
194
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.740
Well, you certainly look rested now, Dennis.
195
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:49.379
Boy, oh boy, do I feel good.
196
00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:50.870
You want to wrestle, Miss Livingston?
197
00:10:52.909 --> 00:10:54.309
Dennis, behave yourself.
198
00:10:54.350 --> 00:10:54.909
Let him alone.
199
00:10:54.950 --> 00:10:56.610
I'll give him a toehold so fast he won't know
200
00:10:56.629 --> 00:10:57.070
what hit him.
201
00:10:57.649 --> 00:11:01.470
Mary, put your coat back on. Be a lady, will you?
202
00:11:01.669 --> 00:11:02.509
On this clam bake?
203
00:11:03.289 --> 00:11:04.990
How can you call this program a clam bake when
204
00:11:05.009 --> 00:11:06.610
Phil just played poet and peasant?
205
00:11:06.710 --> 00:11:08.450
Now, let's settle down.
206
00:11:09.090 --> 00:11:12.190
And now, ladies and gentlemen, as I started to announce... Tomorrow,
207
00:11:12.429 --> 00:11:15.909
October 27th, is Navy Day. So tonight, in honor of
208
00:11:15.950 --> 00:11:19.940
this occasion, we will present our version of that stirring
209
00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:23.419
drama of the Naval Air Force, that epic of heroism,
210
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.899
that sensational Warner Brothers production, Die Bomber.
211
00:11:32.470 --> 00:11:33.269
Uh, thank you, Dive.
212
00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:33.850
You're a bummer.
213
00:11:34.169 --> 00:11:43.120
Hmm.
214
00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:46.419
Now, uh, in this sketch, uh, I will play the
215
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.080
part of the young flight surgeon as portrayed on the
216
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.379
screen by dashing, daring Errol Flynn, which happens to be
217
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.919
the most important role.
218
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.080
In the picture. Now, let's see.
219
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.259
But, Jack, I saw the picture, and I thought that
220
00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:59.289
Fred McMurray as the test pilot had.
221
00:11:59.190 --> 00:12:00.210
The most important part.
222
00:12:01.309 --> 00:12:01.450
Who?
223
00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:02.929
McMurray?
224
00:12:03.269 --> 00:12:05.889
Yes, he did some very heroic things. In fact, the
225
00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:09.600
audience applauded him the night I saw it. They did?
226
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:11.779
Oh.
227
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:17.000
Well, Phil, then you'll be Errol Flynn, and I'm, I'm
228
00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:18.139
going to be Fred McMurray.
229
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.940
I never dropped Flynn that fast.
230
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.230
Never mind. Now, it's all set. Phil is Errol Flynn,
231
00:12:23.429 --> 00:12:26.669
I'm Fred McMurray, and Dennis, you're going to be Ralph Bellamy.
232
00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:28.590
Oh, boy, he had the best part of the whole
233
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:29.250
darn picture.
234
00:12:30.169 --> 00:12:30.419
Who? Who?
235
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.360
Bellamy? Yeah, he was a great doctor, and the whole
236
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.639
story was built around him. What?
237
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.139
Well, now, let's see.
238
00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:45.259
Phil, you're going to be Errol Flynn. That's settled. Dennis,
239
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.080
you'll be Fred McMurray, and I'll be Ralph Bellamy.
240
00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:51.559
Yes, that'll work out fine. Now, let's see.
241
00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.559
Say, Jack.
242
00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:52.759
Yeah?
243
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.620
If you ask me, Wayne Morris stole the whole picture.
244
00:12:55.830 --> 00:12:56.519
What, what? Who?
245
00:12:58.389 --> 00:12:58.929
Wayne Morris?
246
00:12:59.090 --> 00:13:00.169
Yeah, he was terrific.
247
00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:01.610
No kidding?
248
00:13:03.169 --> 00:13:05.769
Well, fellas, it's all settled. I'm going to be Wayne Morris.
249
00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:07.330
Yeah.
250
00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:07.850
Good.
251
00:13:07.889 --> 00:13:13.649
He wasn't even in the picture.
252
00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.080
Wait a minute.
253
00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:16.129
What's going on here?
254
00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:18.200
I'm going to play Ralph Bellamy, and that's the end
255
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:21.080
of it. Mary, you're going to be a nurse. And Don,
256
00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:23.720
you're going to be the B-19, so stick your arms out.
257
00:13:29.269 --> 00:13:31.110
And now, ladies and gentlemen, this play will go on
258
00:13:31.149 --> 00:13:33.529
immediately after a song by Dennis Day.
259
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:40.399
Go ahead, Dennis. Hold it a minute. Come in. Oh, hello.
260
00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:41.080
Hello, Mr.
261
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:41.379
Benny.
262
00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:42.759
Can I see you about that now?
263
00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:44.600
Yes, wait out in the hall.
264
00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:46.340
I'll be right with you. Excuse me, fellas.
265
00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:52.950
Say, that little boy looks familiar.
266
00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:55.190
Don't you recognize him, Don? That's the kid who was
267
00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:56.529
on the train with us last week.
268
00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:57.789
The one that said he was going to be a
269
00:13:57.809 --> 00:13:59.409
gag man for Bob Hope?
270
00:13:59.429 --> 00:14:01.289
Yeah, now Jack is trying to sign him up first.
271
00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:02.970
I'm going to open up the door and listen.
272
00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:08.769
Sure, sure, kid. I know Bob Hope's a nice guy.
273
00:14:09.169 --> 00:14:09.830
But why do you want to.
274
00:14:09.789 --> 00:14:10.389
Work for him?
275
00:14:11.389 --> 00:14:13.649
In the first place, he's very tough to write for.
276
00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:16.389
What are you talking about? I can write a thousand
277
00:14:16.429 --> 00:14:17.970
gags about his nose alone.
278
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:24.450
You think that's something? Listen, kid, I've got rheumatism and
279
00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:25.250
flat feet.
280
00:14:26.250 --> 00:14:27.149
And you see this bridge?
281
00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:27.950
Yeah?
282
00:14:28.250 --> 00:14:29.129
Look, it comes out.
283
00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:30.549
Well, I'm a.
284
00:14:30.570 --> 00:14:32.769
Cinch to write for. Now, what do you say?
285
00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:34.370
Well, what's your offer?
286
00:14:35.009 --> 00:14:37.769
Now, listen, kid. You're young and you've got your health.
287
00:14:38.450 --> 00:14:38.710
Now, look.
288
00:14:38.769 --> 00:14:54.389
Look, money, we won't talk about it. The heck we won't.
289
00:14:55.429 --> 00:14:58.909
This kid's going to be tough, but he's clever. Now, look, son.
290
00:14:59.289 --> 00:15:01.009
By the way, what's your name? Barton.
291
00:15:01.409 --> 00:15:07.590
Belly laugh Barton.
292
00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:13.090
Oh, well, now, look, Belly.
293
00:15:15.789 --> 00:15:18.809
Forget hope. Forget Hope, and I'll tell you what I'll do.
294
00:15:19.870 --> 00:15:20.450
I'll give you $ 37.
295
00:15:20.350 --> 00:15:25.789
50 a week and a case of Jell-O every Saturday night.
296
00:15:26.309 --> 00:15:27.129
How does that strike you?
297
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:29.909
Well, I don't know. I'll have to talk it over
298
00:15:29.950 --> 00:15:30.889
with my manager.
299
00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:33.700
What do you have to talk it over for? Look, kid,
300
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.320
Jell-O is good for you. It's delicious.
301
00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:40.360
And not only that, this year it's got that new
302
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.019
locked-in flavor.
303
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.799
Locked in, huh?
304
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.460
Yeah. Yeah.
305
00:15:45.950 --> 00:15:50.009
The flavor never goes away. We put it in, and
306
00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:52.090
it's there to stay.
307
00:15:53.129 --> 00:15:53.929
Now sign here.
308
00:15:54.149 --> 00:15:58.500
Right here on the dotted line. Come on, kid.
309
00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:00.200
Okay, let me out of the corner.
310
00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:04.620
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
311
00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:06.519
Well, it's a deal, kid. See you at my house
312
00:16:06.539 --> 00:16:09.220
tomorrow morning. Come for breakfast and bring some coffee, Kate.
313
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:10.820
So long.
314
00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:11.379
Goodbye.
315
00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:13.039
Here he comes, boys.
316
00:16:13.110 --> 00:16:13.830
Act nonchalant.
317
00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:15.610
Well, sorry to have kept you.
318
00:16:15.570 --> 00:16:16.070
Waiting, fellas.
319
00:16:16.269 --> 00:16:17.610
Okay, Dennis, let's have your song.
320
00:16:18.110 --> 00:16:20.179
Belly Laugh Barton. Gee, I hope he lives up to
321
00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:20.539
his name.
322
00:16:33.690 --> 00:16:42.210
I don't want to set the world on fire. I
323
00:16:42.269 --> 00:16:50.360
just want to start a flame in your heart. In
324
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:59.480
my heart I have but one desire, and that one
325
00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:08.049
is you, no other will do. I've lost all ambition
326
00:17:08.329 --> 00:17:12.329
for worldly acclaim. I just want to be the one
327
00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:19.519
you love. And with your admission that you feel the same,
328
00:17:20.299 --> 00:17:29.490
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of. I don't
329
00:17:29.609 --> 00:17:38.509
want to set the world on fire. I just want
330
00:17:38.529 --> 00:17:46.259
to start a flame in your heart.
331
00:18:02.150 --> 00:18:04.269
That was I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire,
332
00:18:04.309 --> 00:18:06.750
sung by Dennis Day. And now, ladies and gentlemen, for
333
00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:09.690
our feature attraction of the evening, our version of that
334
00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:14.140
sensational motion picture drama, Dive Bomber. And I'd like to
335
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.480
announce that this production will be done entirely in Technicolor.
336
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.180
How can you do Technicolor on the radio?
337
00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:22.569
We're on the red and blue networks with a green cat.
338
00:18:29.809 -->
00:18:33.069
And belly laugh better do better than that one. Now,
339
00:18:33.109 --> 00:18:37.140
the opening scene is the laboratory of the famous flight surgeon, Dr. Bellamy,
340
00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:39.619
who at the moment is testing the reflexes of that
341
00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:42.079
ace aviator, Dennis McMurray.
342
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:43.339
Curtain.
343
00:18:44.339 --> 00:18:44.799
Music.
344
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:46.180
Music.
345
00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:07.730
Hmm. The Schneider test shows pilot fatigue not far from
346
00:19:07.750 --> 00:19:08.450
the chronic line.
347
00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:10.329
Oscillograph, negative.
348
00:19:11.190 --> 00:19:12.329
What does the Ralph from St.
349
00:19:12.349 --> 00:19:16.869
Anne's test show? What does it show, nurse?
350
00:19:17.089 --> 00:19:18.650
Pretty bad, doctor. Look at this chart.
351
00:19:19.029 --> 00:19:19.390
Hmm.
352
00:19:19.769 --> 00:19:22.230
I don't like it. This man's flying days are over.
353
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.359
He's through.
354
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.920
Washed up. You mean I'm not going to be an
355
00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:26.500
ace anymore?
356
00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:40.230
To us, you'll always be an ace. Now, um.
357
00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:54.750
Now, let's see, uh... What else is there to check
358
00:19:54.789 --> 00:19:55.329
on this man?
359
00:19:55.609 --> 00:19:57.029
Why don't you test his knee, jerk?
360
00:19:59.529 --> 00:20:02.460
That's why don't you test his knee, jerk. I did
361
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:02.960
that already.
362
00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:06.720
Well, Lieutenant McMurray, I'm sorry. But there's nothing I can do.
363
00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:08.359
You're grounded.
364
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.059
No, no.
365
00:20:09.380 --> 00:20:11.769
You can't do this to me. I belong in the air.
366
00:20:12.130 --> 00:20:14.339
I've given the best years of my life to aviation.
367
00:20:14.779 --> 00:20:15.910
When I black out, I want to be.
368
00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:16.539
Up there flying.
369
00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:17.640
Understand?
370
00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.220
Flying.
371
00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.619
I knew I should have taken that part.
372
00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:35.920
But I'm not peeping. This had to come sooner or later.
373
00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:38.059
It's just tough to step out of the ring when
374
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.519
the main event may be ready to start.
375
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:41.339
Stop, I tell you.
376
00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:43.839
Stop!
377
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:46.319
No, I had to be Ralph Bellamy.
378
00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:57.490
Stand around like a dope. Oh, well.
379
00:20:57.750 --> 00:20:59.390
I motivate the story. Anyway.
380
00:20:59.549 --> 00:21:01.269
You gotta give me another chance, Doc.
381
00:21:01.589 --> 00:21:02.470
You hear?
382
00:21:03.029 --> 00:21:05.069
Because if you don't... All right, all right. I'll give
383
00:21:05.089 --> 00:21:06.349
you another chance.
384
00:21:08.849 --> 00:21:09.529
Stop acting.
385
00:21:09.569 --> 00:21:11.720
Get out of here.
386
00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:17.180
Next time I'll see a picture before I cast it.
387
00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:20.119
Snap out of it, doctor. Let's get on with these experiments.
388
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.549
Oh, that's right. What am I working on today?
389
00:21:22.809 --> 00:21:25.190
You're trying to perfect a transparent parachute so you can
390
00:21:25.230 --> 00:21:26.509
get suntan on the way down.
391
00:21:26.589 --> 00:21:33.589
No, that'll never be a success. Come in. Oh, hello,
392
00:21:33.609 --> 00:21:34.210
Commander Wilson.
393
00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:35.029
Good morning, Dr.
394
00:21:35.049 --> 00:21:35.410
Bellamy.
395
00:21:35.650 --> 00:21:38.230
I want to congratulate you on your experiments in counteracting
396
00:21:38.329 --> 00:21:39.190
arrow embolism.
397
00:21:39.470 --> 00:21:43.009
Thanks. What? Oh, oh, yes.
398
00:21:43.089 --> 00:21:43.970
I expect to have.
399
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:47.950
The arrows all emboled out before long. By the way, Commander,
400
00:21:48.069 --> 00:21:50.829
have you located an assistant for me? Oh, yes, Dr. Bellamy.
401
00:21:51.089 --> 00:21:53.730
I've discovered a brilliant young graduate of Harvard Medical School.
402
00:21:53.789 --> 00:21:55.670
He's waiting in the room right now, in the waiting room.
403
00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:56.799
Good, good.
404
00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.200
Come in, Dr.
405
00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:58.359
Flynn.
406
00:21:58.380 --> 00:21:58.619
Come in.
407
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:00.279
How do you do?
408
00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:00.859
Dr.
409
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:01.519
Flynn, Dr.
410
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:01.900
Bellamy.
411
00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.180
Dr.
412
00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:02.849
Bellamy, Dr.
413
00:22:02.869 --> 00:22:03.170
Flynn.
414
00:22:03.289 --> 00:22:03.569
Dr.
415
00:22:03.609 --> 00:22:04.190
Jekyll, Mr.
416
00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:04.630
Hyde. Mr.
417
00:22:04.670 --> 00:22:06.589
Hyde, by Ty.
418
00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:08.230
Please, Miss Kroxmere.
419
00:22:14.650 --> 00:22:15.019
Please.
420
00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:17.339
Hey, uh, she's not bad.
421
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.440
I'm pleased to meet you, Dr.
422
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:18.700
Flynn.
423
00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:20.500
So you're a Harvard man, eh?
424
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.039
Yes, uh, who's the tomato?
425
00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.059
Dr. Flynn.
426
00:22:26.829 --> 00:22:29.619
Commander Wilson tells me... Yes, I believe I have solved
427
00:22:29.630 --> 00:22:33.079
the problem of counteracting aeroembolism. For instance, why don't we
428
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:33.539
make a bell?
429
00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.819
Well, don't you... Pneumatic.
430
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:37.279
Inflated before the dive. But that would compress the upper
431
00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:38.680
part of the body and stop the blood from leaving
432
00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:40.529
the brain. It
can't miss, I tell you.
433
00:22:40.589 --> 00:22:41.369
It can't miss.
434
00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:53.500
I had to be Bellamy. It's the most important part.
435
00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:53.859
Play it.
436
00:22:54.420 --> 00:22:54.740
Oh, well.
437
00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:56.339
That's a brilliant thought, Dr.
438
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:56.589
Flynn.
439
00:22:56.609 --> 00:22:58.470
You'll get a medal for this. Oh, I don't want
440
00:22:58.509 --> 00:23:00.990
a medal. I'm not doing this for any paltry reward
441
00:23:01.009 --> 00:23:04.190
from human beings. Consider it my contribution to the progress
442
00:23:04.269 --> 00:23:10.049
of aviation.
443
00:23:11.390 --> 00:23:16.869
Contribution. I knew he'd louse it up. Now, look, Commander Wilson.
444
00:23:17.289 --> 00:23:19.390
Flynn's idea seems to be practical, but I've got a
445
00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:20.470
better one. What is it, Dr.
446
00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:20.829
Bellamy?
447
00:23:20.970 --> 00:23:22.990
I'll demonstrate. Hand me a pencil, Miss Crossmere.
448
00:23:23.170 --> 00:23:23.650
Here you are.
449
00:23:23.849 --> 00:23:24.150
Thanks.
450
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.059
Don't thank me. I'm not doing this for any paltry
451
00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:29.700
reward from human beings. I gave you that pencil because
452
00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:31.380
it'll stop the blood from leaving the brain.
453
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:32.160
A pencil?
454
00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:35.759
What do I care about a pencil? I've got dozens
455
00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:38.079
of them. Dozens of them, do you hear? And consider
456
00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:39.700
it my contribution.
457
00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:42.359
To the progress of aviation.
458
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:52.490
Even Kroxmere has a better part.
459
00:23:53.089 --> 00:23:53.930
Well, come on, Dr.
460
00:23:53.970 --> 00:23:56.410
Flynn. That bell of yours is a good idea. Let's
461
00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:57.069
get busy on it.
462
00:23:57.150 --> 00:23:57.630
Okay, Dr.
463
00:23:57.650 --> 00:23:57.990
Bellamy.
464
00:23:58.569 --> 00:24:01.819
Going out to Kildare. Dr. Kildare reports a surgery. That's
465
00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:05.160
the other feature. This is dive bomber. Oh, pardon me.
466
00:24:06.309 --> 00:24:09.900
Come on, Flynn. We'll make that belt, or my name.
467
00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:30.329
Ain't... How high are we, McMurray?
468
00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:31.650
26,000 feet and going up.
469
00:24:32.190 --> 00:24:32.470
Good.
470
00:24:33.309 --> 00:24:34.109
How does the belt feel?
471
00:24:34.210 --> 00:24:35.450
It's a little tight around the ankles.
472
00:24:37.269 --> 00:24:37.769
I'll pull it up.
473
00:24:39.109 --> 00:24:40.670
I tell you, Mac, this experiment is going to make
474
00:24:40.690 --> 00:24:42.460
me famous. Well, Dr. Flynn invented it.
475
00:24:42.490 --> 00:24:44.039
Why don't you bring him along? Ouch!
476
00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:46.279
I'll twist your other wrist if you keep that up.
477
00:24:48.099 -->
00:24:48.740
How high are we now?
478
00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:51.480
30,000 feet. You better put your oxygen mask on.
479
00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.559
I took it home.
480
00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:53.599
I'm going to wear it Halloween.
481
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:56.920
But I feel pretty.
482
00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:57.839
Uh-oh.
483
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:58.859
What's the matter, Doc?
484
00:24:59.339 --> 00:24:59.730
I don't know. I.
485
00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:03.559
I feel a little dizzy there for a second. But.
486
00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:06.960
But I'm all right. How high are we now?
487
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:09.880
31,000. 31,000, eh?
488
00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:11.500
I gotta.
489
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.079
I gotta snap out of it.
490
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.319
I'm feeling.
491
00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.519
I feel kind of drowsy all of a sudden. Doc!
492
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.720
Doc, what's the matter?
493
00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:19.680
I don't know.
494
00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:20.779
I guess it's the allotude.
495
00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:22.539
Uh... I.
496
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:26.339
Guess this allotude kind of got me.
497
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:28.960
So, pneumatic.
498
00:25:30.099 --> 00:25:32.980
It'll stop the blood from leaving the constribution.
499
00:25:35.130 --> 00:25:35.529
Yeah.
500
00:25:35.869 --> 00:25:36.529
Doc, wake up!
501
00:25:37.390 --> 00:25:37.730
Dr.
502
00:25:37.769 --> 00:25:38.990
Flynn, Dr. Bellamy.
503
00:25:39.990 --> 00:25:41.150
Dr. Bellamy, Dr.
504
00:25:41.230 --> 00:25:47.690
Flynn.
505
00:25:48.690 --> 00:26:03.400
Well, here we go again. Now come the whistles.
506
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.400
Gee, he looks so peaceful, I think I'll count sheep
507
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:13.920
and join him.
508
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.269
One, two, three, four.
509
00:26:18.609 --> 00:26:19.329
No, that's an eagle.
510
00:26:21.049 --> 00:26:30.930
Four, five, six... Well, next week brings Halloween, and Halloween
511
00:26:30.950 --> 00:26:33.069
brings fun and festivities, gay parties.
512
00:26:32.809 --> 00:26:35.009
That call for good things to eat, like the grand
513
00:26:35.029 --> 00:26:37.170
dessert I'm going to tell you about right now. It's
514
00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:39.650
a real party treat and yet an easy dessert to make.
515
00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:42.519
All it takes is a can of peach halves and
516
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:44.920
a package of orange jello. And when you have those
517
00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:47.940
two items, you're all ready to go. Just dissolve the
518
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.880
orange jello in hot water as you usually do. Then
519
00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:54.319
fill six wide sherbet glasses about one-third full and chill.
520
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:57.660
When the jello is firm, place a marshmallow in the
521
00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:00.029
center of each glass and cover with a peach half,
522
00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:03.390
rounded side up. Pour the remaining jello over the peaches
523
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:06.119
and chill until firm. And there you have an ideal
524
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.920
treat for Halloween, a swell dessert that will make your
525
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.289
Halloween guests say, you surely know how to give a party.
526
00:27:12.809 --> 00:27:14.410
Get a can of peach halves and a package of
527
00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:18.089
orange jello tomorrow and make up this delicious combination. Juicy
528
00:27:18.130 --> 00:27:21.470
golden peaches covered with shimmering orange jello. But remember, when

00:27:21.490 --> 00:27:24.009
you buy jello, be sure to look for the big
530
00:27:24.089 --> 00:27:27.789
red letters on the box. Because only jello's new locked-in

process gives you all the flavor always.

536
00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:45.470
you'll say, yes, Jell-O puddings are just like grandma's, only
537
00:27:45.509 --> 00:27:47.829
