We're currently in season two with more than four hundred and fifty episodes 9 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,640 posted were throughout the month of January and February, posting an episode today Monday 10 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,040 through Friday so you can easily follow along, and then we will be posting 11 00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:26,000 a higher number of episodes later on the year. But you can check it 12 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,439 out Volume one dot Great Detectors dot net and enjoy the early years the Great 13 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,560 Detectors of Oldtime Radio as we played them. Well, now we're going to 14 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,920 introduce meet Miss Sherlock. And the information on this series is rather sparse. 15 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:48,319 This was a CBS Pacific broadcast, which meant that it was only syndicated among 16 00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:53,239 West Coast CBS stations. In that way, it was in good company. 17 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:59,519 The Whistler is one of radio's most remembered series, but the vast majority of 18 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,640 episode there were some times when it was national, but the vast majority of 19 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,759 episodes were broadcast only on the West Coast. However, with Meet Miss Sherlock, 20 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,599 only two episodes survived, but there's a reason to think that there were 21 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,439 quite a few. Done'm identify the series as only having aired in nineteen 22 00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:23,319 forty six. However, a search of newspapers dot com shows that there were 23 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,360 several Pacific affiliates that had Meet Miss Sherlock on their schedule for the fall of 24 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:37,719 nineteen forty seven. That doesn't mean that the series aired straight through. Some 25 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,479 programs did have multiple summer series, or would air as a summer series and 26 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,960 then be brought back sometime late in winter or the springs, such as Dangerous 27 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,520 Assignment. With that out of the way, let's go ahead and take a 28 00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:57,479 lesson to the first episode. The original air date July the seventh, nineteen 29 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:06,159 forty six, and the time motto is case of the dead Man's Chest H 30 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,120 Jane No. Now, what will you marrying him now tonight? Oh, 31 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,280 I'm so sigh. I can tonight? Can I have to start of the 32 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:38,919 cape of a dead man's hill? Well, it's about time, about time 33 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,800 to beat their life, as not a little girl has ever stumbled across the 34 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:52,439 real life flu. The room is dark except for a cone of light from 35 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,879 a hanging bob shining on a desktop countered with papers. Two men there at 36 00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:01,599 each other from the edge of the kennel. Nah, I'll be a fool, 37 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:17,000 I'll do it, nay. One man moving now, earning papers in 38 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:21,040 a grace. The other man sprawled forward, one out, long hand touching 39 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:26,519 the desk calendar stephening fingers, points at the tape line. July seven, 40 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:40,040 nineteen thirty nine. July nineteen thirty nine, seven years ago, and murder 41 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,439 in Manhattan. But seven years ago, Jane Sherlock was a kid in Big 42 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,839 Tales.

He 258 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:32,559 said he wasn't her uncle. Huh. Why did you ever see John claidor 259 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,119 Nope, Claytations before my time?

I'm going to pay a 262 00:22:45,119 --> 00:23:03,519 call on missus John Clayter in Jingle. When my husband disappeared, I'd lost 263 00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:07,799 the divorce proceedings I had filed against and why, I'm afford would hardly bring 264 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,039 myself to go through with a divorce ex and against the man I thought was 265 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:18,039 dead. Of course, you do believe that your husband is dead. Yeah, 266 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,240 that's why when seven years attack, I hadn't definitely placed. Sadly, 267 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,319 Henry told me that was the thing to do, and Ray Henry Turner did 268 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,519 send to me alden years. What's not In fact, it would have been 269 00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:37,759 married so you're going to marry Hank kind of that. I trust your people's 270 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,640 confidence. I just like publiciting. I am turned once before when John and 271 00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:48,839 that sinner. Yes, I understand, But tell me why were you so 272 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:52,519 convinced that your husband was dead? The story is, you see, my 273 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,480 husband has rather stage acquaintances. I'm afraid it was an except for the underworld, 274 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:04,359 a man named a door. Each others too. I suppose you might 275 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:10,480 think it's none of the mats off. Maybe I think my husband was murdered 276 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:18,240 testing dingle. Let's see that's the swater. Your husband had a large rosewood 277 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,799 test. It was one of the articles sold a day at the kinect. 278 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:26,359 Remember it, Yes, he used to keep it in his stutter if he 279 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,440 moved it to be at hit the same night, and just series your husband 280 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:33,319 moved it, I don't know. I wasn't home that night. The next 281 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,559 day the test was gone and I never saw the danger was cleared out? 282 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:44,319 Yet? Did your husband were full of tea? What do you ask, 283 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,319 Lily? Routine? As I said, I hoping on mind, John would 284 00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:52,119 says vain very two people knew it, But he wore in instead of place 285 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,480 up for a more one more question then we'll go and your husband ever had 286 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,160 a serious accident to his left leg, a bad that left the lake shoulder 287 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,680 than the other one. No, Captain Dingle, my husband had never broken 288 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,880 a bone in his body. Oh was thank you missus later, come on, 289 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:11,799 Ryne, goodbye, goodbye, Captain Dingle. To make you tell you 290 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:18,720 about that's not necessary. We can't find out ways go gun. That's much 291 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:22,880 hell a lot more help than I expected. For one thing, she stared 292 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:29,920 up something in my mind. I'd forgotten Leg Doherty had a brother, Gimpy 293 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,640 sool. Gimpie Doherty hasn't been seen a hood of since the day John Slater 294 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:56,319 had disappeared and did a good job of tying me up to you. I'm 295 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,839 afraid so he chet down here anymore than I'm figuring out. So I'll fight 296 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,799 a figure with the force disorders. Yeah, and I know that he put 297 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,240 it down and shut up. You get out the factor and all. What's 298 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,599 the fun sport he's getting generated? Yeah, but when the force is coming 299 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,000 in to look at the skelton to see if it is camping, but tack 300 00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:27,119 and get going going? Okay, okay, yeah all together again? You 301 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,599 and I am a dead man. Oh, Peter, I wish I'd never 302 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,799 seen that hard. You're gonna say that again? Who Who's gimping? That? 303 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,640 Said? Reds wanted to see if the skeleton was Gimpy Dane. I 304 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,759 think I've got the n Red had a brother named Gimp and that's why one 305 00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:52,440 of the chests. Maybe he thinks Slater killed getting right figuring com flirt exactly 306 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,119 what I do think. I think Skimpy to see Slater that night seven years 307 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720 ago to tell him to pay you off on a gambling day. Skimpy never 308 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:03,680 seen back, and Slater disappeared. Yeah, And when I ran into May 309 00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:07,640 North yesterday, I put two and two together. He calls herself Iris March 310 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,319 Now, but he was a gala ran off with Slater. I staid her 311 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,519 into talking plays vote. He was back and found to keep his wife from 312 00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:21,640 marrying Hank Turner. He was gonna come to life again, but May said 313 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,680 there was one thing he had to do first, get that chest right, 314 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:27,400 sister.

It was 337 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,519 no such thing, my little football and combing your chair against later so Rags 338 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:45,039 could get a shot at him. That was a stetid job of blocking as 339 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,839 I ever thrown at the ball. What do we do with wrong? Plat 340 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,279 was kilts. You can both testify that Rags shot m himself. A ball 341 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,400 can get him off. You're forgetting one thing, Jane. Rags and his 342 00:29:56,519 --> 00:30:02,160 men made away with polison. I haven't found the place. Oh Tom, 343 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:12,480 what from that hit?

What are you doing in that shit? I don't know. 346 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,599 I just woke up in here with a bunch of bones. I thought 347 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,519 I was dead and gone to heaven. But jee's not a good here. 348 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:55,319 Tell me, am, I in the other place, okay, And I 349 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,640 never thought we see your apartment again? Need I thought we were gone. 350 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:07,319 Hope you've heard the last of the Rosewood chest. Ye, no more, 351 00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:22,000 no more good? Oh he to the door, thank you now, but 352 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,839 it's a telegram from It's the Blue you know, Leannt team. We've got 353 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,640 to hurry over here right now. He's got another Rosewood chest. Where's my 354 00:31:32,880 --> 00:32:05,359 hat saying here the wood Dad. Well, it looks like Peter Blossom is 355 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:09,119 going to be framed in Rosewood. But next Thursday, that's a different story. 356 00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:15,680 Jane and Peter find themselves involved with a prim and somewhat grim old laid 357 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:20,039 and the Paris that talks too much next Thursday, at the same time, 358 00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:23,960 the Case of the cock Eyed Parents, another adventure of Jane Sherlock and Peter 359 00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:54,880 Blossom. When you Niece, Miss Sherlock produced by day Vale, written by 360 00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:02,119 Don Thompson and with original music composed and played by Eddie Gunn from Columbia said 361 00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:09,960 welcome back, well and okay a lot detective program. I walked William Conrad 362 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,359 in this. Uh. Sandra Gear who played Jane Sherlock, isn't given a 363 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,319 whole lot to work within this episode, and neither is Jane. But she 364 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,400 did that whole faint at the end, which worked out, and I kind 365 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:30,960 of read into it that she did it kind of accidentally on purpose and was 366 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:37,720 being modest about it and not wanting to brag on herself for still serving a 367 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,319 useful purpose in the mystery. And of course William Conrad investigating the case and 368 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,880 questioning the witnesses is kind of fun. I do want to go ahead and 369 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:54,519 talk about the star Sandra Gear. Now, Miss Gear was a real mainstay 370 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,119 of the Chicago radio scene. She also did some more in Hollywood, which 371 00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:06,880 this obviously was, but probably her most noted work was in Chicago. She 372 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:10,480 did a lot of Chicago theater of the air. He did several public service 373 00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:15,599 programs that came from Chicago. Again, I was some work in Hollywood as 374 00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:21,480 well, but I think the bulk of her radio career was in Chicago, 375 00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:24,719 and not just during the Golden Age of radio. According to her obituary, 376 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:32,519 she also was a performer in the Pacific Garden Missions series on Shackled, which 377 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:38,840 continued beyond the Golden Age of radio until this day. She got a teaching 378 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:46,400 certificate from Northeastern she was raising her children. She did also do some on 379 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:53,159 air work in Los Angeles and San Francisco and then in the seventies nineteen seventy 380 00:34:53,199 --> 00:35:00,800 four, she comes back to Chicago at to work at WBEZ and just did 381 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,599 a lot of on air work, interview programs, cooking programs, and then 382 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:14,840 her most noted and celebrated accomplishment came her launch of Midday with Sondra Gear, 383 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:22,639 which was a foreign fair show which won multiple awards in its eight years on 384 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,280 the air prior to her passing away in nineteen ninety four. So she was 385 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:36,519 a very big figure in the Chicago radio scene for decades and had an amazing 386 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,960 life and career beyond anything that we'll here on meet Miss Sherlock.

Join us back here tomorrow for 397 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,599 dangerous assignment. Where seem to have me pegged already? Indeed, I have, 398 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,920 Senor. It don't sound like you're here to extend me the key to 399 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,920 the city. No, but I am here to extend what you may call 400 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,559 an official gritty. What is it? It is known why you came to 401 00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:51,199 this country. Is it you're after the dangerous subverse of agent named Slugger, 402 00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:53,679 who was rumored to be hiding in or near this city. Is this not 403 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,639 true? Well, you seem to be doing most of the talking, as 404 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,199 goobarro. Why don't we keep it that way? Huh? I see it 405 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,639 in that case, although we do not see fit to forbid your presence here 406 00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:10,880 the thanks, I warn you stay out of my way in this matter just 407 00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:15,679 a minute. Does that warning come from your government or from you personally? 408 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,719 That is not for you to ask. Tommy has been granted the high honor 409 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,320 of tracking Slaga down. I see, it'll be quite a feather in your 410 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,880 cap. I suppose I am not thinking of personal glory, but of the 411 00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,880 welfare of my government. Oh sure, sure, well, as Kabar looks 412 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,679 like we're both hunting the same pigeon, but with one important difference. And 413 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,320 what is that? I gather you don't much care whether you take Slaga dead 414 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:43,400 or I would prefer him dead. That's what I thought. What does that 415 00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:47,199 get you a headline or maybe a promotion or being impertinent? Sorry, I 416 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,840 hope you'll be with us then.
