Jack Benny – Mary Buys Jack A Pencil Sharpener At Christmas. 491218

A black and white photograph of Jack Benny, a man in a suit and tie, standing against a plain background. He is looking off to the side with a slight smile on his face, and his hands are clasped in front of him. Benny was a comedian and actor, best known for his radio and television shows in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The photograph conveys a sense of classic Hollywood glamour and style, with Benny's sharp features and piercing blue eyes on prominent display.

Jack and Mary fight through the Christmas shopping crowds. As Jack tries to think of something special to get his sister Florence, he encounters unruly sales clerks, and spies on Dennis Day doing his shopping. Stepping to the music department, Dennis sings, I must have done something wonderful.

Meanwhile, Mary has slipped away to find a gift for Jack. Phil joins the gang for a quick joke. Rochester wants to get a gift for his gal, but it may mean getting it on an installment plan. Don’s gift to Jack is a music box powered by the Sportsmen, and singing songs to plug the sponsor.

As Mary keeps helping Jack shop, the topic of pencil sharpeners rules the jokes. A catch all gift for that person who you don’t know what to get for them.
