Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Here we are in studio 31 at CBS Television
City in Hollywood where the new Mitch Skelton Show presented by Johnson's Wax
makers of super hard-gloss locos is about to begin. Here is the celebrated
composer conductor Mr. David Rose
and his orchestra.
Our wonderful dancing group the Redettes.
And here's our lovely and charming guest star Miss Mary McCarty.
Here he is the star of our show, Red Skelton.
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen and I'm sorry that Lamont's name is not
Freddy because always Robert Montgomery says thank you Freddy.
By the way I feel wonderful tonight being with Johnson's Wax the day I
went out and I polished my car. Really really truly I just got Johnson's car
new and I look this is what the car looked like when I started. You won't believe this.
This is what the car looked like after.
Now if you don't believe me you go out and try it on your car. As a matter of
fact go to some enemy's house polish his car and he'll never recognize it again.
While we're getting ready now to start the show here's a word from our sponsors Johnson's Wax.
This is the home of Mrs. Thomas and this is the day and the exact time when Mrs.
Thomas always does her kitchen floor. Let's watch her do it. Why what's up? This
is the day for doing the floor this is the time for it. Where's Mrs. Thomas?
Here I am I'm not doing the floor today. Why should I? It looks like a million dollars.
I've damp mopped it several times but I haven't had to put polish on it in ages.
You know why. Glow coat. Hard gloss glow coat the way you find it in the stores
today with the word super on the can. Makes that shine just wear on and on.
Throws my polishing schedule all out of kilter. But who's complaining? I'll make a
new schedule with some time to take it easy. Try the new hard gloss glow coat.
Super hard gloss glow coat a new exclusive formula. Super hard gloss glow
coat wears on and on where substitutes wear off.
And now we take you to the home of Red Skelton where Reggie the butler is
engaged in his favorite hobby. Yes he certainly is a little beauty even if I
do say so myself. Let's see how the engine runs.
Reggie! Reggie! We're being invaded! What is it? Oh that wasn't making a noise?
Why yes sir. Good heavens. You make that yourself? I certainly did sir. Oh you did.
Isn't that a beauty. Thank you. You're welcome. Not so. Give me a cheerio.
Tell me it's rather a good job isn't it sir? See how trimmed she is? And look at those stabilizers.
And by the way look at that rudder. And tell me have you ever seen a model with
better equipment?
Well what's the lighting city? No no please.
Sir really you see this happens to be my favorite hobby and a hobby is a wonderful thing. It's so
relaxing. Mr. Skelton you should have a hobby. It will do you loads of good. No I feel
great now. I feel wonderful. Feel great. Really? Well I did up to a minute ago.
Frankly sir if I may say so you haven't been at all yourself lately. Well who have I been?
I don't know. A great improvement sir. Thank you. Yes but you should have a hobby sir. Now tell me you're
extremely nervous. Come along put out your hands. Oh dear dear dear dear.
Your hands are shaking. Oh that's my hobby.
Shaking hands.
Now that hand may be shaking but you put a martini in her and watch it steady down.
No time for joking. Now please I'd like to see your tongue. Huh? Stick out your tongue. Why I'm not mad at you.
I know you're not sir but I want to see your tongue. Oh.
That's much too fast sir. Let it hang a little will you.
Baby it's cold out.
Can you stick your tongue out? Further. Further. Further. It's hooked on.
There. There.
Just as I thought. Why?
Your tongue has a coat on. Well I told you it was cold out.
Sir I have an idea. What's that? There's a show called the do it yourself show downtown.
Why don't you run down there and find yourself a hobby. Huh? Might be a good idea. Yes.
Yes sir. Come along. I'll give you a little brush off. Oh no no. I'm sick of it.
Your hat. Thank you. You're off to the hobby show. Come along. I'm not going to run. I'll do it my usual dignified and elegant manner.
I thought you escaped. Well that's quite alright. You haven't hurt it at all.
Welcome to the do it yourself show. Welcome and have a good time.
Hello. Oh I'm sorry I wasn't being rude. It's alright. I thought I recognized you for a minute there.
Oh really maybe you can help me out. I'm looking for a hobby. Well I'm not it buster.
You could have been buddy. Hello.
Well hello. May I interest you in a demonstration? What do you got in mind? I mean what do you have?
I have everything in the photographic line. Oh really? Oh yes we have a dark room. Well let's go to the dark room and see what develops.
You'll get a negative answer. Oh you positive?
I wasn't being rude ma'am. Believe me I wasn't. Oh good heavens. Those flash bulbs I bet I broke them. I better see if I broke them.
That's a good one. That's a good one.
You can't spit out like that. Just as I thought. A bad one.
What are you doing? I'm counting spots in front of my eyes.
Hey mister, would you like a free sample? I've seen things in front of my eyes before but this is ridiculous.
Wait a minute buster. The lady's talking to you. Yeah, would you like a free sample bud? Well how much does it cost?
I ain't gonna cost you nothing. It's free of charge. No charge at all. No it's a sample of our new automobile safety strap.
Oh I'm not interested in that. We're showing these to everybody in the interest of automobile safety. I guarantee after you try one of these straps you'll never want to ride without one.
Really? It's pretty wonderful. Doesn't it feel good to you? Yeah it's pretty nice to be nice for the kids. They couldn't get out of that.
Yeah you can get a queen, you can get a boss. I'm in here solid. We nailed it.
Listen honey I'd like to talk to you about our $895 do it yourself trailer kit.
What do I want with a $895 do it yourself trailer kit? Why hasn't anybody ever told you about vacationing in your trailer?
You ride through the country through the pines, seeing you smell like good fresh air. Oh you begin to feel wonderful son.
You begin to feel like a bird. That's it you feel just like a bird. A bird with wings. A bird with a throat.
I got a feeling I'm gonna lay an egg.
Oh you haven't looked inside the paper and the kit is yours. Oh no I'm not signing anything.
Last time I signed a piece of paper the next thing I knew I was saying to a supply sergeant these underwear are too tight.
How's that for you?
I'm not signing nothing.
Just the bottom line. I'm sorry. That's that. Thank you very much. We'll fill in the rest later.
Oh you're gonna be so happy building this set you won't know what to do.
Look lady I never built anything in my life.
You're having a wrecked set when you were a kid? Well I was 10 years old.
What'd you build? Nothing I couldn't figure out how to open a box.
You hear him he did it again.
Look I don't want you to worry about nothing. Boy the instructions are very easy.
They really are. Yeah look at these. Put them out boy. These are the instructions? These are them.
They're a lot of great instructions.
Now listen honey even a five year old kid could read those instructions.
No kidding. What's this the condensed version for Reader's Digest?
Listen I'm gonna tell you. We'll send a 10 page fee tomorrow and you'll get the kit tomorrow afternoon.
Will that be happy? But you can take the tools now with you. Give me the tools please.
I don't want anything.
Now look take the instructions with you put them in the box and read them.
I don't want this stuff lady. Look now the recipe.
This is something else for you. There.
Happy kid. Hey Buzz wait a minute.
I bet you just don't happen to have a place to build that trailer do you?
I bet I just don't.
Well just so happens I know of a place. A beautiful spot called Sadie Murphy's Trailer Camp.
Sadie Murphy's. Oh it's very elegant very classy.
Anybody who's everybody goes there. You know all the cultured people. Poor people. Everybody.
Yes Sadie's good looking too. Oh she's beautiful.
Honey she is so wild she wears open-toed shoes and picks up cigarette butts on rainy days.
Just so happens I have a car to hers too.
Yeah. You know it just so happens that from now on I'm gonna pay attention at rehearsals.
Listen. You don't love Sadie. She is a wild one and I ought to know.
Honey I'm Sadie Murphy.
No.
Johnson's Wax announces a remarkable new product called Johnson's Blem.
Blem is a professional furniture restoring compound that rubs out burns, scratches, white marks,
and other stubborn mars that no furniture polish can touch.
Now a cigarette burn on a table or desk could be tragic.
But it doesn't have to be when you have Johnson's new Blem on hand.
Let's see what Blem does to the cigarette burn.
All you do is squeeze a little Blem onto a soft clean cloth.
And rub thoroughly over the damaged area.
Then rub it off with a clean cloth.
See? The burned area is beautifully restored.
Blem is equally effective on scratches, white marks, and other stubborn mars.
On all medium and dark finishes.
Now we don't claim that Blem is a cure-all.
But we do say this.
If Johnson's Blem won't repair the damage, nothing short of a professional refinishing job will.
Here's how to get your tube of Johnson's new Blem.
Right now a free tube of Blem comes with every bottle of Johnson's Pride.
Pride, you know, is the wonderful Johnson's Wax discovery that waxes furniture without rubbing.
