McCrispy strips are now at McDonald's. I hope you're ready for the most dippable chicken in McDonald's history. Dip it in all the sauces. Dip it in that hot sauce in your bag. Dip it in your McFlurry. Your dip is your business. McCrispy strips at McDonald's. The Chevrolet program starring Jack Benny with Frank Black and his orchestra. Frank Black opens the program with Roll up the Carp. Last week, my friends, I directed your attention to that big, striking Chevrolet poster. Now on all the billboards, every minute someone buys a Chevrolet. Ladies and gentlemen, that statement is incorrect. Tonight I take pleasure in informing you that since the Chevrolet poster was prepared. Chevrolet sales have shown such an increase that instead of every minute someone buys a Chevrolet, it should be every 40 seconds someone buys Chevrolet. Now that, mind you, is every 42nd night and day. And here are the figures to back it up. During the months of May, Chevrolet dealers reported the sale of over 65,700 cars and trucks. That's 17,500 better than May 1932. 11,800 better than April of this year. Naturally, Chevrolet is grateful to the American public for making such a record possible. A record which exceeds by 1000 cars a day. The May production of any builder of automobiles. And everybody knows why. Chevrolet is the only car giving Fisher bodies. No draft, ventilation, fine performance, proved dependability and unexpelled economy. At prices as low as $445 fob flint. That's why today more than ever before. Chevrolet is the world's largest builder of automobile. It. And now, Jack Benny. Hello again. This is Jack Benny the Earth Galloper coming to you with all the late news events. And tonight we have a big surprise for you where I want to give you a full description of the Smelling Bear fight which was not broadcast last night. We have here our own film of this famous fight held at the Yankee Stadium where the New York Yankees play baseball. While at Home Run the film. Hank. The preliminaries are over and Schmeling and Bear are now in the center of the ring taking their instructions. What a crowd, folks. 60,000 people, 30 vacant seats. Primo Carnera walks in and the 30 seats are filled. Carnera sits down and 2,000 people behind him get up and go home. Ah, what a crowd. Here goes the bell for the first round. Melling and Bear walk to the center of the ring. Bear looked confident and Melling looked German. They are fiddling around for a minute and there they go. Bear starts off with a hard right to smelling Jaw. And Bear counters with a hard right to Smelling Jaw. Ah, what's this? Smelling sends a hard chin to Bear's right. Bear swings a wild right to Smelling Jaw. And Bear comes back with a wild right to Smelling jaw. Smelling's jaw seemed surprised as it didn't even know that Bear was in town. They are both mixing in the center of the ring as the round ends. Smelling's round and Howard Craney. The Chevrolet motor car is the finest. Round two. Both men step to the center of the ring and exchange blows. What a crowd at the Yankee Stadium. Sharkey is here, sitting right over second base. Gene Tunney is also here, sitting over first base. Bear sends a long left to Smelling, sending Sharkey to third and Tunney to second. None out and Bear still at bat. What a game in the outfield. We see Lefty Grove warming up for Germany and Smelling still catching. As the bell rings. Ruth and Gehrig are seen walking through the dugout. And Howard Clady. Chevrolet motor car is the most economical car in World War three. At the start of this round, Bear makes a mad rush at Smelling. But Smelling tosses a right to his nose. And Bear starts singing California, Here I come. He sees Jimmy Melton become self conscious and lands a right to smelling temple. What a blow. Watch out, Bear. Four feet lower would have been a foul. Bear takes command again. He's much bigger than Moxie. What a mountain Bear is. Bear Mountain. Get it, folks? Ah, that was good. Smelling leads a right. What's that? What's that? Another. Another fight breaks out of the ringside. Another five. Oops. Who is it? They tell me it's between a taxi driver and a tailor. Well, folks, now we have a double header at the good old Yankee Stadium. The tailor lands a right to the taxi driver's jaw. Melling blocks it and forces the left the bear's chin. Bear sends a wicked right to the tailor. And the tailor sends a wicked note to his lawyer for a triple play. Lawyer to Smelling to Bear. What's this? Bear sends a dozen assorted rights to Smelling Jaw. While we weren't looking, he sends another right to his head, a right to the heart and a right to the liver. As there are no more places for Bear's right, he rings the bell, ending the third round. Now, the next six rounds were Nip and truck. Bear Nip and smelling Truck. And as there was nothing outstanding in these six rounds, I'll tell you a story. Once upon a time, there were three little bears. Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Maxie Bear. They all lived in the woods. So one day, Poppy Bear said to Maxie Bear, round 10. Bear opens this round with a rock right to Smelling deer and are left to the jaw. Melling counters with a nasty look. Bear resents this and starts fouling. The referee warns Bear. Bear warn, Smelling, Smelling warns Sharkey. And Sharkey leaves the stadium. Bear is now mad and sends another righteous smelling jaw in the left of the head. They are now missing it. Right, left. Right, left. Right, left. Company false. What a parade. Bear looks at his watch, remembers he has a date. And there he goes, forcing Smelling to the rope. Ah, what a chance for a cigar program. He turns two rights and a left a Smelling's head. And Smelling goes down with a count of nine. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8. Are you hurt, smelling? Nine. He gets up at the count of nine, but it's too weak to carry on. And the referee steps in and announces. Max, they're the winner. Which is a surprise to everyone. Now, Frank Black, who bet on Smelling, will try and play Somebody stole Gabriel Thorne. Play, Frank. Did you hear that, folks? That's a continuation of our misery. A mystery. Who killed Mr. X? The great penthouse. Now, for the benefit of our new listeners, let me give you a brief synopsis of what happened. Mr. X was found dead in his penthouse. He was discovered hanging in midair from a chandelier dangling from a long rope. Mary, did you find out where the rope came from? Yes, Jack. We kind of gobbled shoelaces, Janet. Oh, well, disregard that, huh? Now, dim your lights, folks. Get ready for thrills, romance, adventure and the boogeyman. Not yet, Frank. Besides, I'm not suing anything. It's a mystery.
