The Burmese Goddess from New York City.

8
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.120
The makers of clipper Craft clothes for
men and more than twelve hundred leading retail

9
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.840
stores from coast to coast sent their
immortal character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

10
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:33.920
the world's most famous detective, Sherlock
Holmes, starring John Stanley. This

11
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:42.400
week's story the case of the Burmese
Goddess. This Watson, this little jade

12
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.400
goddess is an ancient relic of Burma, and its legend is as evil as

13
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.920
its appearance. Indeed, what is
its legend? Host? It said that

14
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.799
he who possesses this tiny goddess dies, but first he's foreworn by a strange

15
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.079
death song somewhat like the redium motherdy
used by Snick Charnas. Good Lord Holmes,

16
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:14.800
listen, We're at the door of
doctor John Watson's study and we're about

17
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.800
to hear another of his adventures with
the fabulous Sherlock Holmes. Oh, good

18
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.639
evening, mister Harris. Good evening, doctor Watson. I presume you have

19
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.280
one of your memoirs ready for us
tonight. Indeed I had, and this

20
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.479
was mister Harris, although taking place
in our familiar haunts of London, had

21
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.599
sinister and mysterious overtones from the far
East, which to a lesser man than

22
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.599
Holmes might have defied anellusks, Well, what do you call this memoir,

23
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.960
doctor Watson. Holmes and I always
refer to it as the case of the

24
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.199
Burmese Gudness and mister Harris. After
our audience is properly informed about the merits

25
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:52.680
of clippercraft clothes, I shall proceed
with effects of this very unusual study.

26
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.879
One of the best investments you can
make is a really fine suit of clothes.

27
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.879
That's an investment that will help you
socially in business and give you all

28
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.560
round lift. And you don't have
to spend a fortune because a clipper craft

29
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:12.000
suit of finest material, designed and
beautifully finished by master tailors now cost you

30
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.919
only forty five dollars. That's right, only forty five dollars. But don't

31
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.520
let that moderate price fool you.
Every clipper craft suit looks like it costs

32
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.560
many, many dollars more. Here's
the reason you get so much more in

33
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.639
style, workmanship, and value in
clipper craft clothes. More than twelve hundred

34
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.800
independent local merchants have pooled their tremendous
buying power to give you the amazing clipper

35
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.800
craft values. But remember this,
aside from the money, you say,

36
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.400
a new clipper Craft suit will really
do things for you. Put one on

37
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.960
and see how it really hugs your
neck, how it broadens your shoulders,

38
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.199
slims your hips, gives you that
keen, well built look. So buy

39
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.199
a nationally famous clipper Craft suit.
See what really fine tailoring can do for

40
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:09.039
you. And now, doctor Watson, what about the case of the Burmese

41
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.280
Goddess. If my memory does not
fail me, mister Harris, It took

42
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.319
place in the summer of nineteen eleven. This was a time when England had

43
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.199
consolidated her empire and many of Britain
roamed the far Eastern domains in search of

44
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.920
its ancient treasure. Among these were
Sir John Brandewey, recently returned from Burma

45
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.639
with the collection of priceless relics.
He hadn't been in London an hour,

46
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:39.120
however, when he received a strange
physical Sir John, my name is ah

47
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.879
Daco. I had come a long
way, indeed from my native land of

48
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.199
Burmah for this interview reation. What
is it to want? Sir? Some

49
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:54.879
months ago a sacred Burmese temple near
Sitang was desecrated by vandals, robbed of

50
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.399
his sacred relics, Among these with
the jade goddess of Emma, the sepent

51
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:05.160
goddess. Originally there were two goddesses, the Sisters of Amar, but one

52
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.879
of them vanished centuries of good,
Yes, quiet, did I have the

53
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.560
only remaining goddess in my collection?
Now, yes, Sir John, and

54
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.120
I have come to purchase it from
you and restore it to the temple.

55
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.839
I'm sorry, a duck cool,
but the Goddess of Aymar is not for

56
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:27.399
sale. I am prepared to offer
you a handsome sun enough to keep you

57
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.560
in luxury for the rest of your
life. I have no need of money,

58
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.680
sir, and I repeat, the
Goddess of Aymar is not for sale

59
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:42.079
at any price I see, Sir
John. No doubt you are aware of

60
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.879
the old Burmese legend that he who
possesses the goddess died, that he is

61
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:53.399
first worn by the song of the
serpent. And yes, yes I know

62
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:59.319
the story. Pure nonsenseant puppycock,
of course, doesn't frighten me. In

63
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.759
that case, there is nothing more
I can say or do at the moment,

64
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:23.160
night, Sir John, Sir John
Bradleywine. Yes, my name is

65
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:28.839
Bailey, Reginald Bailey. I am
an art collector specializing in oriental optics of

66
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.120
our well, mister Billy, a
client of mine saw the Goddess of Emar

67
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.319
when you exhibited it brieply in Paris
on your way to England. Here he

68
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.759
has commissioned me to purchase it for
him. My dear sir, you're the

69
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.480
second prospective purchaser i've seen this evening, and I'll repeat to you what I

70
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.959
said to the first goddess. Is
not for sale. My clients is willing

71
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.920
to pay ten thousand pounds at generous
offer. I am sorry, mister Bailey,

72
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.560
Sir John, I'm afraid you're being
stubborn. I've been a collector long

73
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.160
enough to know that there is no
such thing as a priceless idem. Everything

74
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.639
has its price, and if it
is question of money at the last time,

75
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.399
Sir, I should try to make
myself clear. I will not sell

76
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.199
the I'd let any price. And
now, mister b Alair good night.

77
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:48.879
What who said devilish noise outside my
window? No, it can't be that

78
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:57.839
confounded ber Mes legend, it's absurd, right, find out what this is

79
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:07.000
all about. Who's the other?
My God, God forgive speak Oper.

80
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:28.160
No, so you think sir John
Brandywan was murdered because he possessed the serpent

81
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.679
goddess of theym Mahme. Obviously,
Watson, His demise followed the legend of

82
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.759
the letter. After he was lured
to the window, he was struck by

83
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.840
a blowgun missile soaked in deadly reptile
venom, and he died honest instantly.

84
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.960
Joe, Now all this makes it
hard for a chapter believe he's living in

85
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.559
the twentieth century. Yes, true, Watson, but Sir John's room was

86
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.159
rifled in highly modern fashion. Fortunately, however, he had the foresight to

87
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.000
luck the goddess and the remainder of
his collection in a vault immediately after he

88
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.360
arrived in London. I wonder what
became of the other goddess homes the wonder

89
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.120
vanished centuries a girl, I believe
I can give you the answer to that.

90
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.039
Watson, Oh, okay, who
has it? Her? I have

91
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.480
what we yes, Watson, Oh, forgive me if it's one of the

92
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.120
very few secrets I've kept from you
these many years. Up to now,

93
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.039
I saw no reason to mention it
to anyone. You remember that the adventure

94
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.600
of the Rangoon rubets did I do? That was some ten years ago?

95
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.360
Yes. At the culmination of that
affair, the Burmese potentate involved was very

96
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.799
grateful for some slight service I had
rendered him, and he gave me the

97
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.559
goddess. It seems that it had
secretly been kept by his family for many

98
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.440
generations. But Holmes, where is
the goddess now safely under lock and key

99
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.600
in my tin box at Barclay's back. But the only other goddess of Ahmar

100
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.279
in existence, that possessed by Sir
John Brandywine, will soon see the light

101
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.559
of day. Eh, What do
you mean? Oh? I take it

102
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.000
you haven't read the morning telegraph,
Watson. It seems that Sir John's widow

103
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.480
is auctioning off her deceased husband's entire
Burmese collection tomorrow morning at Brandywine House on

104
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.639
Barcley Square. Then, in view
of Sir John's strange death, it might

105
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.759
be interesting to see who bids for
Goddess of Emma, quite, Watson,

106
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:16.799
and that is precisely why we shall
attend the auction tomorrow morning. Ladies and

goddess, the famous seven gunness of Ema.

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.320

The others are obviously afraid of the

112
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.879
legend. Watson. Note the condition
of the pillow's hair and hand. What

113
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:54.279
above interesting very well? I hear

other chap stop mining. He's leaving
the auction as he isn't e Watson,

121
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.480
But we have a new and late
arrival. Note the high born Burmese gentleman

00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.919
hurrying from the door. I happy

00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.200
wish to be I am sorry,
sir, but the Goddess of Amar has

125
00:11:50.279 --> 00:12:05.720
already been sold to the tall gentleman
in the front row in some months the

126
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.679
door. Watson. Oh, yes, so, mister Holmes. I am

127
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.240
Sherlock Holmes. This is my colleague, doctor Watson. My name is Reginald

128
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.639
Bailey. I am an art collector, mister Holmes, and the client of

129
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080
mine is interested in the Goddess of
Amar. You purchase at the auction this

130
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.759
morning. Well, at my representative, Monsieur l'aville, foolishly allowed you to

131
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.639
outbid him, thinking the price was
too high. Well, I am interested

132
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.200
in buying it now and am prepared
to offer you a generous price. How

133
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.120
generous? Ten thousand pounds Holmes,
that's ten times what you paid. Yes,

134
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.200
quite, Watson, But the Goddess
of Aymar is not for sale.

135
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.039
Mister Holmes. You don't realize what
you're saying. On the contrary, I

136
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.200
know perfectly well what I'm saying.
I repeat, the goddess is not for

137
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.559
sale at any price now, mister
Bailey, I bid you good night.

138
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.879
Very well, mister Holmes, I
can only say you'll regret your action.

139
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.320
Good night, Dashandomes. You must
be led turning down an awful life.

140
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.360
There, not at all, Watson. You recall the French gentleman who bit

141
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.360
against me at the auction. You
remember I referred to the condition of his

142
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.600
hair and handness. The skin on
the fellow's hands was desiccated, and he'd

143
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.519
lost his fingernails. Moreover, on
certain areas of his head, he'd suffered

144
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.200
a complete glass of hair, Endomes, What's all this got to do with

145
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.039
the Burmese Goddess. It means,
my dear fellow, that the jade figure

146
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.120
and I purchased his worth of fortune. It means that not one, but

147
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.919
two mysterious parties want the Goddess and
will stop at nothing to get it.

148
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.039
If I'm not the sticken, there
may be a desperate attempt to kidnap the

149
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:48.399
Goddess to night. You choose your
family, doctor, lawyer, and banker

150
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.799
because you have confidence in them.
It's just as smart to choose the place

151
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.480
where you buy your clothes for the

insist on Clippercraft clothes bearing the Clippercraft label.

160
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.960

And now doctor Watson. Doctor Watson,

167
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.159
you were relating to us the case
of the Burmese gutness, so I was,

168
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.360
mister Harris. Holmes did not explain
his observations any further, and I

169
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.720
did not press him. That night
at Baker Street, I fell into a

170
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.679
troubled and uneasy slump. And my
last recollection was of Holmes sitting in his

171
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.639
easy chair, smoking his pipe and
facing the window. He seemed to be

172
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:46.559
waiting for something, expecting something.
And then Watson, Watson wake up this

173
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.799
water. Juice is the ice,
good Lord Holmes, the warning song,

174
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.679
the warning of death that let infernal
legend heights. We have a visitor in

175
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.200
the yard. Well confounded, less
good of the windows. To stay away

176
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.960
from the window, Watson, to
approach and open it means certain death.

177
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.759
We shall wait here on the dark
and do the tramp pad set? Who

178
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.240
are they? Obvious, Watson?
They two shots from outside our window.

179
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:08.840
Yes, something's happened which I did
not foresee. What's in? Takel of

180
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:21.879
over and follow me down to the
yard quickly, Hose. There's a body

181
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.799
of a man here in the yard. He's been shot. Yes, and

182
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.279
look there's a man who just run
out of the shrubbery. Hello there,

183
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.559
stop, stop the hoar shoot confounded, I missed him. He's head on

184
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.240
the fence. Hose, he's running
down Baker Street. Quicker after him.

185
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.799
The beggar was too fast, was
hosy? He got away? Yes?

186
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.159
Quite, But he's left us a
souvenir in this corpse here right, let

187
00:16:53.240 --> 00:17:00.320
us examine the body. What is
identification papers? What'son? And note?

188
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.799
They prove that this dead man is
Inspector Paul Duois for the French Civite what's

189
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.319
the French police inspector got to do
with a Burmese goddess? Host everything,

190
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.960
my dear for know everything? Remember
my competitive bidder at the auction was also

191
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:17.839
French. Yes, the pieces of
this remarkable puzzle are beginning to assemble themselves

192
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.599
into a clear and precise pattern.
And one moment once and yes, observe

193
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.519
this slip of paper on the dead
man's body seems to be a torn piece

194
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.759
of rather expensive stationary of it.
On it are written the words room three

195
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:36.240
twenty two in red ink quill Holmes. What does it mean? It means

196
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.680
that pretty soon, Watson, I
shall have the answer to this whole riddle.

197
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.200
Suppose you find the nearest constable and
inform him this affair. The moment

198
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:56.519
I shall return to our fat upstairs. Presently the place was a shamble,

199
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.519
Yes, Watson, our fat was
quickly rifled by some one looking on the

200
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.000
promis. It's gone, has stolen
light. From now on we must move

201
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.240
with all possible speed. What do
we do first? Her? First we

202
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.839
must make a telephone call to the
Prefective police in Paris. After that fine

203
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.640
room three twenty two, and there
we may discover the goddess but how are

204
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.759
we going to do that? Obvious? The room number inspected Ugoi wrote down

205
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.799
means that this is a hotel rendezvous. And from the expensive quality of the

206
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.440
stationery we made deduce that Ugi wrote
down this number in some first class hotel.

207
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.640
But homes London is full of first
class hotel. Yes, true,

208
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.039
wantsome true. But here is the
salient fact. The room number was scrawled

209
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.680
in red ink, a highly unusual
procedure. You can only mean that this

210
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.119
particular hotel ran out of blue ink. In other words, of it if

211
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.759
we didn't find a first class hotel
using ready, yes, quite, Watson,

212
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.759
quite, but come, we were
wasting too much time in talkings.

213
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.759
Resolved this affair quickly before the night's
over, or it'd be too late.

214
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.400
Hello, lovell, this is Bailey. I'm down in the hotel lobby.

215
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.720
Wait did you get that goddess out
of the homes flat? Wait while we

216
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.359
here run after you, Misha Bailey, I took it from his apartment.

217
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:15.799
Is here on the table now I
have already woken the goddess from the dead.

218
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.279
Bastreful what you do, Leveille?
Have no fear in these matters,

219
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.519
monsieur, Am I not the next
Bert. Yes, But these Burmese tables

220
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.640
are after that goddess too, Leveille. They were outside homes flat when I

221
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.279
got rid of inspected you. Why, I'll be right up and then we'll

222
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.519
get out way, Masha Bailey.
As for these burmes natives, they do

223
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:37.319
not know where we are right all
right? For sure? Bailey? What

224
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.079
is it? What's the matter?
Yeah, here they've come from the goddess.

225
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.519
What the song? The death song? It is outside my window the

226
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.599
field? Hide the dead bast you
here and let them have the guttage.

227
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.559
That's all they want. What's your
billy feel? Someone at the window and

228
00:19:48.759 --> 00:20:07.200
the faris gave me no, no, the field thee Ville Laville, sir,

229
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:12.359
they got him, these devils they
got him. They took the goddess.

230
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:17.880
But the base, yes, is
still here on the table. Fools

231
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.599
didn't know. They left you a
fortune. Now we get out Canada perhaps

232
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.400
Australia, or you get prison,
mister Bailey, homest what no will you'll

233
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.599
reach for that gun? As you
see, I have my service revolver am

234
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.359
straight into a head. I should
not hesitate to use it at the slightest

235
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.400
provocation. Note Watson the dead Man
on the floor is Monsieur la Ville,

236
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.119
my competitor at the auction, and
he suffered the same fate of Sir John

237
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.799
Brandywine. The Permese revenge show this. They've taken the Goddesson. There's some

238
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.519
good riddance. Let them take it
back to the sacred temple once it was

239
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640
stolen. Our concern is with mister
Bailey here. How did you find me

240
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.640
here? No matter of routine investigation, my dear phenom, I sha'n't buy

241
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.599
you with the details, and I
wouldn't touch that lead base so tightly if

242
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.119
I were you. Why I believe
you'll find it worthless? What do you

243
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.119
mean? I mean that it's merely
a solid block of lead? You see,

244
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.599
my dear fellow, you purloined the
wrong goddess. Why toes you mean

245
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.240
you switched the figures. You took
the Goddess that you own from the tin

246
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.640
box at Barkler's Bank and posted narflet
precisely Watson, and the Goddess I purchased

247
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.920
at the auction now rests quite safely
in the custody of Inspector Astride at Scotland

248
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.920
Yard. You cheated me, You
cheated me out of a fortune. Q

249
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:34.119
what's all this about fortune in radium? Watson? Radium exactly a grain of

250
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:38.160
radium stolen from the Curil laboratories in
Paris, hidden in the base of the

251
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:56.119
Goddess of Amar, and thus smuggled
into England. And now that we've delivered

252
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.960
the smuggler Bailey to the authorities,
would you mind telling me the course of

253
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.160
your deduction? I must confess I
am confused, are you? Watson?

254
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.519
Holer affair is really quite obvious.
The Burmese motive to recover the goddess was

255
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.440
simple enough for sacred and religious quest. But it was at the auction,

256
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.960
after observing Laville, that a new
element entered. But how how did you

257
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.359
know? The condition of the man's
hands and hair, loss of fingernails,

258
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.480
desiccated, appearance of skin, loss
of patches of hair symptomatic of work with

259
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:32.519
radium. The fact that he was
a Frenchman further heightened my suspicions. I

260
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.039
still don't see how Laville, as
I learned from the Paris Prefective Police,

261
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.680
was a worker in the Curie laboratory. He entered a conspiracy with this international

262
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.960
thief Bailey to steal a grain of
radium. The next problem was to smangle

263
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.640
it out of the country, and
so they concealed it in the Goddess of

264
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.400
Ema while Sir John Brandywine displayed his
collection in Paris. Exactly the lead base,

265
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.319
of course, was a perfect carrier
in which to hide the loot and

266
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.240
get it past the customs and out
of the country. They had planned to

267
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.680
purchase the Goddess from Sir John and
then recover the radium. Their plans,

268
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.720
however, went awry. Meanwhile,
inspected Uvois was hot on their trail,

269
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:12.960
and they got rid of him and
their hose closes this adventure, Not quite,

270
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.519
Watson. We are living in a
new and dynamic age. I am

271
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.920
a criminologist, not a seer,
and yet I know that these radioactive substances

272
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:30.799
hold the key to the future,
and I cannot help but wonder if men

273
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:48.480
will use them for good or evil. Well, doctor Watson, that was

274
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.799
quite an adventure, sir, Yes, indeed it was, mister Harrison.

275
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.279
It is, in fact one of
my favorite memoirs and significant in the light

276
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.960
of what is being done with radioactive
substance today. And now, doctor Watson,

277
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.880
what adventure will you have for us
next week? Next week, mister

278
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.000
Harris, I should relate to you
the Adventure of the Golden Pass Nick.

279
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.839
It concerns an untidy rug, a
box of Egyptian cigarettes, and a stab

280
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:34.200
in the dock. The makers of
clipper Craft Clothes and more than twelve hundred

281
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.599
stores from coast to coast have brought
to another in the new series of broadcasts

282
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:48.000
featuring the world's most famous detective,
Sherlock Holmes. Our stories are based upon

283
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.440
the character Sherlock Holmes, created by
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the program

284
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:57.480
is produced and directed by Bassilt Mockern. Sherlock Holmes is played by John Stanley,

285
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:03.160
Doctor Watson by George Feltman. This
week's story was written by Max Erlick

286
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:11.000
with special music by Albert Berman.
If you don't know your Clippercraft dealer,

287
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:18.920
write Clippercraft two hundred Fifth Avenue,
New York City. Be sure to listen

288
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.720
next week to Sherlock Holmes in the
Adventure of the Golden Past. May.

289
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:33.440
This is Si Harris speaking for Clippercraft
cl The most comfortable shoe Soul in the

290
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.920
world, the Neo Light Soul.
Light, It's lightest leather, smart,

291
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.519
it's smartest leather, and where it
Where's leather two to one or men,

292
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:48.640
women, children get the Neo light
Soul step on it. This is w

293
00:25:48.960 --> 00:26:00.240
o R New York, serving the
largest single station audience in America. Welcome

294
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:06.519
back. Well one of the better
reason episodes, particularly in regards to having

295
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:12.279
an actual mystery at the core of
the plot. Also, it's definitely something

296
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:19.240
that would strike a chord in nineteen
forty nine as we're dealing with the dawn

297
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:26.039
of the atomic age. I do
have to offer a programming note. Contrary

298
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.359
to the commercial, you're going to
hear a different show than the one that

299
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:38.759
was advertised because we've I've kind of
moved things around a little bit to make

300
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:45.279
sure that we can play the Blue
Carbuncle on the Thursday before Christmas. So

301
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:49.960
next Thursday you'll be hearing the Blue
Carbuncle. And then there was a three

302
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.920
part series that we skipped over that
we will play, and then we'll get

303
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.720
to the episode that would come next
week. A lot to look forward,

304
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:10.319
some pretty fine episodes ahead. Did
receive a tweet David gallaher here or shared

305
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:15.880
on Twitter listening to Sherlock Holmes the
Adventure of the East End Strangler. Well,

306
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.680
thanks so much. I appreciate folks
promoting the program even in their Twitter

307
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.960
status is well, that will actually
do it for today. I will be

308
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:33.160
back tomorrow with yours truly Johnny Dowler, and join us back here on Thursday

309
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.519
for Sherlock Holmes and of course coming
next Tuesday. It's a great show.

310
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:44.559
