8/10
Two Missing Episodes
5 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
One missing TV episode is "Jack Buys A New Suit" with Mary Livingston. Another missing TV episode is."The Jam Session Show" with Kirk Douglas, Fred MacMurray,Dan Daiey, Tony Martin, and Dick Powell (10/17/54). In both episodes Rochester plays Jack's helper. Mary gets Jack into a clothing store but he is so tired from his humerus venture into a long morning walk that he keeps falling asleep standing up in the clothing store.

The TV show "Jack Buys A New Suit" is really classic Jack Benny. The Jam Session Show starts with a significant monologue by Jack with his announcer Don. Wilson. Then the show moves right into the Jam Session. Jack Plays the violin, Kirk Douglas plays the banjo, Tony Martin plays the clarinet, Fred MacMurray plays the saxophone, Dan Daily plays drums, and Dick Powell plays the trumpet. They all stagger through "Basin Street" but it is obvious that they are not accomplished musicians (except Jack who actually is fairly accomplished on the violin. Kirk Douglas wants to demonstrate that he can actually play a chord on the banjo by making a bit of a scene about it.

Dorothy Collins appears briefly to do a commercial, as does. Rita Gam.
