Very funny episode with a spectacular breakup in the Jello commercial. Mary Livingston's wonderful laugh is on display. They also had amusing ways of working in the sponsor.
Its hard for me to listen to. my father left me a bunch of old cassette tapes of old radio shows like jack benny who is hilarious but especially abbot and Costello witch is my favorite by far. My father passed away sometime after so listening to this is both enjoyable and painful if that makes sense. This is great who ever did this. Thank you
To those interested, according to online inflation calculators, that 5 to 6 thousand dollar trip to China would cost about 100,000 bucks today, and the 20 dollar hotel room in Santa Barbara would be around $375.
Yes, there are several skips and repeats, but that's not a big deal, at least to me. I grew up with phonographs. Recording technology was extremely primitive in the 1930s and, as it turns out, cutting a record was the best way to preserve a programme or broadcast a show to a different time zone. The tape recorder was several years in the future when this show was originally recorded in 1937.
I also have a cold in my pocketbook. Mister Benny and crew were the greatest of all time....
The Jello commercial funny and real. Thanks for sharing.Love me some JB.

"Enjoyable and painful" makes perfect sense to me. My dad was 18 when this show hit the air waves for the first time.

Sounds like a record skipping at 11:20. Repeats a bit of dialogue around the part where they're discussing ad libbing.
