Yep, Barbara Nichols, who played Jack's girlfriend "Mildred Meyerhouser" in several episodes of the TV series, including the episode where they pester Jimmy and Gloria Stewart at a concert (which was the origin of the bow-tie clue).

Here's a classy bit of Jack Benny related ad copy. What's it from?

CHARLEY'S AUNT, indeed!

I always kind of liked Jack's original title for his autobiography, "I Always Had Shoes". Now I wish he'd named it "Funny Enough in Pants".

A couple of Disney film characters here... Baloo the bear was voiced by Phil Harris in Jungle Book and Friar Tuck was played by Andy Devine in Robin Hood. (In Robin Hood, Phil voiced Little John)
That's funny, Norman Krasna loved that joke.

Oops, upon further review, the officials decide that both of these grabs came from the Robin Hood flick. Balloo is apparently not pictured.

Yep, Andy Devine and Phil Harris voiced Friar Tuck and Little John in Disney's ROBIN HOOD. On a related note, Verna Felton (Dennis' Mother) also played a role in THE JUNGLE BOOK with Phil as Baloo.
