Speaker 1: Oh God, Columbia Boat Shaft and System takes pleasure in.
Speaker 2: Bringing you the twelfth in a series of weekly broadcasts
featuring Awesome Wells and the Mercury Theater on the air. Tonight, Bodways,
a radio no clebrated piat Pro producing company, brings to
Lias the best loved character in detective fiction, the Immortal
Sherlock Holmes. The play is Ausenbal's own adaptation for radio
of William Gilapsen during melodrama, based on the famous stories
by the Arthur Conan Doyle before they performance the games.
Here is a director of the Mercury Theater, the star
and producer of these unique broadcasts, Auson Wells. Good Evening,
Well Tonight, It's back to Baker Street, back to that
unlikely London of the nineteenth century, where high adventure waits
toiler would seek it in a handsome cab or under
a gas lamp in an infinite keep. But tonight we
paid tribute to the most wonderful member that most wonderful world,
a gentleman who never lived and who will never die.
There are only a few of them, these permanent profiles,
everlasting silhouettes on the edge of the world. There is
first a little hunchback with a slapstick, whose hooked nose
is shaped like his cap. There is now and always
will be the penguin footed hobo in the derby in
the back, the small boy.
Speaker 3: With the.
Speaker 2: Long, rusty knight on horseback, and a fat knight who
could only procure a charge on foot. There is also
the tall gentleman with a hawk's face and the underslung
pipe before and aft cap. We'd know them anywhere and.
Speaker 3: Call them easily.
Speaker 1: Buy the punch and the charge captain, and.
Speaker 2: The copy muilty. The john and Sherlock Combs now irrelevant.
But as this may seek Willias the Mercury Theater very
much artifact prosion for a revival of a final americal.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people remember the fact.
Speaker 2: Which is too much Johnson. Its author was William Gillette,
which reminded us, as it reminds you of Sherlock Holmes.
As everybody knows, that celebrated American inventor of under acting
lent his considerable gifts as a playwright to the indestructible
legend of the Conan Doyle Detective and produced the play
which is as much a part of the holmes literature,
as any of Sir Arthur's own romances, and as nobody
will ever forget he gave his face to him. For
William Gillette was the aquiline and actual embodiment of Holmes himself.
It's too little to say that William Gillette resembles Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes looked exactly like William Gillette sounds like him too.
We're afraid and hoped of lovely that the Mercury theater
and the radio will take none of the gramour from
the beloved fable of Baker's feet, from the pipe and
the violin, and the hideous purple dressing gown, from the needle,
and the cigar on the window, ledge, and the dry
final famous lines elementary and idea Watson elementary, the mere
Child's play of deduction. My name is Watson. I am
a doctor. It was in the year eighteen evre that
Holmes and I were introduced by a mutual acquaintance. At
the time, we were both looking for a lodging that
would suit our moderate means. This we found on the
second floor of a house at two that he won
the Baker's Feet, And it was during the years that
we occupied these chambers together that Holmes established his unique
international reputation as a consulting detective.
Speaker 1: During that time I was privileged to be his daily.
Speaker 2: Companions, and I have done my modest share in giving
to the world and account of some of his most
famous cases. Most famous of these are the ones which
I have written under the names of the specld Band, Sinopre,
Howard of the Baskavilles, and the Study in Scarlet. They represent, however,
only a minute faction of the six hundred and forty
three cases Holmes successfully solved during the years that we
shared the lodgings in Baker Street. Other cases I hope
one day to give to the world include the Talatan murders,
the sudden death of Cardinal Tuska, the adventure of Ricolette
of the club Foot and his abominable wife, the case
of Missus Sarantoge, the Circus Bell, and the case of
the Royal Family of Scandinavia. Each illustrate in their own
way the remarkable genius of my friend Sherlock Holmes. Since
my marriage three years ago, Holmes has continue to occupy
that they could seek lodgings like himself I've hit almost
every afternoon in my work in the office of Sinny.
I am in the habit of calling on him. The
sitting room that you go in is exactly as it
has been for the past thirteen years. The warm, bare
skin rug, the huge sofa covered with faded chins, the
matter piece cuttered with miscellaneous objects on answered letters, and
piles of loose tobaccos on one side of the fireplace,
and a deep arm chair, the pipe curling forth slow
waves of aquid tobacco placed in his hideous purple dressing gowns.
The sherlock holmes with this vial in under his chin. An,
what's my jo? How are you?
Speaker 4: Homes turned to ride and see you first lighted upon
my word.
Speaker 1: I am abant to observe with your wife's left God
on the visit. But how did you know? Why did
I when I like that? How do I know anything?
How do I know?
Speaker 5: You've been getting yourself very wet lately? That you're an
extremely careless serven girl, And you moved to a dressing
table go oude of.
Speaker 2: The room hose if you had lived a few centuries ago,
that it burned you alive.
Speaker 4: Such a confregation would have saved me a great deal.
Speaker 2: Of trouble and spend on me at all. How did
you know all that.
Speaker 5: It's too simple to talk about scratches and climesy cuts,
my dear felony, and its side of your shoe there,
just where the firelight strikes it scratches, cuts, and they
scraped away cutted mountain.
Speaker 2: This is badly, badly scraped the shoe along with it.
Speaker 5: There's your wet footlight, deer watsoning, a careless certain girl,
all on one.
Speaker 2: Shoe face sandy shave the right side or it used
to be on the left. Light must come to the
other side, because I will move your window, must move
the dressing table, of course, But how the deuce do
you know? My wife was away? Where the juice is?
Speaker 1: Your second west button?
Speaker 3: Was?
Speaker 1: What the juice is yesterday's buttonir doing in today's the pel.
Speaker 2: And why the juice? You were?
Speaker 6: The expression?
Speaker 5: Other elementary matter for elementary child's fair production. I'm only
doing it for you're a mute one, before we pass
on the more serious matters.
Speaker 3: Oh, what is it?
Speaker 1: Novel?
Speaker 2: What's in, my dear fellow?
Speaker 5: The enthusiasm which is prompted you to chronicle and if
you would excuse my saying so somewhat to embellish my
little adventures.
Speaker 4: You occasionally seems fit to introduce a certain.
Speaker 2: Element of romance which struck me as being a just
a trifle out of face, something like working in elopement
in the persist proposition of euclid. I merely refer to
this in case you should see fit at some suture
time to a chronicle, a case on which Idel bethlim
back the strange case of Professor Robert Moriati. Moriati, I
don't remember ever having heard of the fellow, no what,
and you haven't the precisely this quality of invisibility that
makes of Professor Moriarty, Napoleon of crime, sitting motionless like
an ugly.
Speaker 1: Venomous spider in the center of his web.
Speaker 5: But that web having a thousand radiations, and the spider
knowing every quiver very well of them. And within forty
eight hours I'll have the lines drawn so tightly around.
Speaker 1: Him that he can't move, arrest him in his entire
game home. This is a very thing, mind.
Speaker 2: How it's perfectly delightful.
Speaker 5: My whole life is spent in a still as the
magic endevors to escape from the veriest commonplaces of existence for.
Speaker 2: A brief period I escape. Congratulate me.
Speaker 5: The day before yesterday I received in this room the
visit of a certain foreign nobleman who was recently inherited
a very considerable title, and it was about to be married.
Seems that this title of gentleman was still indiscreet as
to fall in love with a young English lady that
the name of Faukner socially in inferior, and to make
her a promise of marriage. Later his family's insistence, the
things broken shortly after the broken heart using behind a sister,
also considerable evidence from a form of letters, photographs, and
jury with inscriptions.
Speaker 1: These the sister kept.
Speaker 2: These together with the sister are now being held in
a house in John's Wood by a pair of blackmailers
who brought with the name of Checkwood. So far as
you see, my dear, what's an as.
Speaker 1: Fairly ordinary case? Colect me.
Speaker 2: I've had it with my.
Speaker 5: Attention last night on my in fiction A certain elements
revealed itself, which renders the case far more important than
I had expected than That element was Professor Moriarty Hellen.
Speaker 1: Yes, gentlemen, to see you by the.

Speaker 1: The letters go on in the end. When they up
the pipe open, it was empty. The letters are gone.
Speaker 2: It seems like the folk no girl.
Speaker 1: Gopping back somehow.
Speaker 2: I got pretty excited as it went out to send
a telegram. Have you got confident? Yes, yes, here it
is the encode m.
Speaker 5: Mariotte, I thought so, Watson, his case is taking a
most promising turn foreman. He returned once to the house
in John's Wood. Then ten minutes I should be there myself,
if I remember correctly. The kitchen is immediately below the
drawing room. Yes, when my half over a chair in
the drawing room, you will return a lamp in the kitchen,
scatter smoke balls and give an alarm of fire.

sorry to hear it. Yeah, miss Portland, is I regret
to say quite an infau She is unable to see anyone.
Her health is so poor. Has it never occurred to you,
mister Chipwood, that she might be confined to the house
too much?
Speaker 1: How does that concern you? It doesn't I think to
make the suggestion.
Speaker 2: I'd like to think it over. It's too about his name, Judgson.
Very well, Judson, go and take my card up. Very good,

to give way to ask Miss Faulkner to come down
to the drawing room. Say that mister Holmes is waiting
to see her.
Speaker 1: Very good to quite remarkable upon my soul.
Speaker 2: May I ask, if it's not an impertinent question, what
message you send up that could sve arouse Miss Paukner's
desire to come down? And really is that she wasn't
down here in five minutes time to go up? Oh?
That was it?
Speaker 5: That's not true, And the next time, greatly mistaken. I
hear a young lady on the stair, which case she
has a minute in the heart.

in my house?
Speaker 2: What right have you to prevent my cards from reaching
