Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service. Pet Tree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and
Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The
(00:26):
Petree family, the family that took time to bring you
good wine, invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell
about another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
that Mass Detective Sherlock Holmes. I suppose your dinner's well
over by now, so now's the perfect time to get
out a bottle of that swell Petree California Port. You know,
Petree Port just made for a time like this after dinner,
(00:48):
when you're just taking things easy. If you've ever tasted
Petre Port, you know what I mean. It's a hearty,
full bodied wine with a deep red color and a
favor that's just about out of this world. I think
that if you had only one wine to choose, and
the whole world to choose from, chances are you'd pick
Port Petreport. That's how good I think it is. That's
(01:10):
saying plenty, I know, but I think Petreport will easily
live up to all I say about it. Try it
to see and share it with your friends. You can
serve Petreport proudly because the name Petrie is the proudest
name in the history of American wines. And now let's
(01:39):
visit our old friend, doctor Watson. Em here on the
petty mister porn. No one else join me as firing
the sunset, eh, doctor, Yes, my voice a particularly beautiful one.
Where the puppies listening.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Asleep on a favorite treat coat of mine just come back.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And you hadn't the heart to move them? I suppose, No, No,
I hadn't. The little fellows looked so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
In fact, I sometimes wonder if the you woudn't come
here to listen to a dissertation on the behavior of dogs.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well is getting your story time, doctor, Yes, of course
it is. Well, just let me get my pipe probably lighted. Ah,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The story I'm angry to tell you tonight began in
nineteen hundred and nine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I received a telegram from my old friend.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Telling me that he was leading his Sussex b farm
and coming.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
To London for a few days.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I hadn't seen the great man for several months, though,
naturally I went to Victoria station to meet him.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
As a train drew to a.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Stop, the door of a first cast carriage swung open,
and stock Holmes, hand out stretched, jumped down onto.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The platform to greet. What's my dear fellow? HOWI Oh,
hold my dear fellow. It's good to see you again.
I've missed you. And are you wichat heavy of bates? Yes, pot,
I'm getting a handsome char I wish I'd got a
fair room for nobody, wasn't I should be very comfortable
at the Diogenes stop, by the way. I trust your
free this evening here's naturally one of your plans probably
(03:09):
go to the Pura. Oh what play do you want
to see? I probably go to the Savoy here and
see the Shlock Holmes play. I hear it's enormously success
and I know it is, but I've avoided it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm told it to Claude Houghton takes great liberties with
your character. And as for the actor portraying me, my
friends told me the Travester he makes me nothing that
a bumbling old.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Therefore, a visit to the play might be a salutary
experience for both of us. In any case, my tip
to London. This response to a urgent telegram from Support
himself seems to need my help brother badly. Oh well,
he wasn't specific in his telegram. He suggested, however, we
attend to Night's performance and discuss the matter with him afterwards.
I see, well, I suppose if you can sit through it,
I can, of course, Kennal alarm. In any case, you
(03:54):
yourself are quite so responsible for the player's existence. I
mean those sensational star who wrote of my muddiest problems.
I should have seen where they would eventually lead to
in time though doctors he portrayed on the cinematograph as well. No,
that new fangled things on their toil, I think, not button.
We're on the edge of a strange, new mechanical world.
(04:16):
In fact, I begin to feel a certain concern about
the rumored developments in Wallace telegraphy. But enough of these predictions.
It comes our order with a cap. They'll tell the
driver to take a strict to the savoy kurer. Just
(04:41):
look at that line of people at the City Box
Office home clapping old chat. Possibly, but I hope it
doesn't mean that we've got a way to turn. Excuse me, gentlemen.
You're mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson an't chow. Yes, yes,
I thought I couldn't be mistaken. My name is Frank Feller.
As a box reserved for you, we asked me to
(05:01):
see that you are quite comfortably consider it, doctuan, Will
you follow me? Please? Thank you. Neither of you have
seen the play before. I understand no, mispellers, we haven't.
I imasure will be a strange experiencing ourselves portrayed on
the stage. By the way, I'm playing the part of
an old friend of yours, Professor Moriarty. Oh indeed, I'm
looking forward to a very entertaining evening. I'd assume that
(05:24):
you escape hard touches as us will. Yes, I do,
mister Holmes, and I've done it nicely. Now for one
hundred and thirty seven for foles record that I'm sure
Professor morriatiums to put in me had it not been
for his memorable demise of the racing back falls. Here
we are, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
This is the box reserve for you. And now, if
you'll excuse me, I'll go back to my dressing bottle. Oh,
I never brought this to Holmes, so the cord asked
me to give you this note.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Thank you all. Well, I'll see you later. H very
nice for for nector obvious snob Watson. Well, what does
the claud note say? I'll read it to your you're home.
Since I telegraphed you yesterday, there have been strange developments.
In fact, I've been doing some detective off stage as
(06:12):
well as on. Watch the performance tonight, and watch the
audience too, particularly the occupant of the box opposite yours.
Please come to my dressing room as soon as the
last curtain has fallen. He's been very mysterious, and the
box ops is empty. No, no look what to look?
Saoneer's just t to count found at the house lights
going out the first act beginning Home the first act, Yes,
(06:36):
well said back and relax, old fellow. Let's see what
they're done to us. Well, well did you think of
the first at home? All the first act? Years? Yes,
(06:57):
I was examining the go into the box opposite ours
from attract a young lady alone and unusually preoccupied in
her programmed. In fact, one might assume that she was
trying to hide our face.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yes, but the play. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Just
imagine a crown jeweled the stone.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
From love and why not? It's been attempted many times.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Anyhow, you must admit that the actor who's portraying me
behaves like like a blithering idiot, and the clause interpretation
of you is pretty far.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Fetched, far fetched. The flapping button a poise? WHAT'SPARVIATI? What
a poise? I find myself fully entertained. You are a
strange chaper accounting for the taste? Stop? What the look
the back of the box of the Lord I could
have sworn a man dodged behind the curtain. I don't
think the girl saw him, though, attrack a pomo. I
(07:47):
think that the young ladies alone will take the liberty
of joiner oh dash? Should they go the lights again?
The second act starting now? And sit down, plow. We
don't want to attract attention, and we will join out
during the next intermition. Why what do you want with me?
(08:17):
My name is shut up pumbs, and this is my colleague,
Dr Watson. How do you do, young Lenna? I hope
you'll forgive this inclusion, but supported the quested that I
keep an eye on you doing a tonight. She's coming in.
Sit down. Won't you thank you? This is very kind.
I know you must forgive my I've got this just now.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So I've just been watching share that Combs and Dr
Watson being impersonated on the stage. It's Saba started to
have the real couple walk into my book.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I quite understand by the way, just before the curtain
went up on the second Egy, I thought I was
just a man coming to the neck of this box
and this disappear again. Were you aware of his presence? No? No,
I didn't see him, but I know who it is.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's been following me for weeks now. You'd like you
tell us about it, Missus Henshaw, Alicia Henshaw, Yes, I will,
as a matter of fact. That's why I'm here tonight.
Sir Claude Houghton's an old friend of my father's. I
had to ask his advice.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He did then.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Investigating himself for a few days, and then he found
himself a little out of his depth, though he decided
to telegraph for you, mister Holmes. We were going to
meet in his dressing room after the performance tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
BRender A Lama's Henshaw, what is your story? This strange and.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Mister Holmes, though I didn't realize just how strange until
I first saw this play a few nights ago.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You see, my.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Story concerns the stilen ruby good.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Lord to Night's Plain of all round the same thing exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I might as well tell you how it all started.
My brother is an officer in the British Army stationed
in Egypt. Earlier this year he saved the life of
a very important native personage and some uprising in Cairo,
and was rewarded with a magnificent ruby. This jewel he
sent to my uncle Timothy and me. Or where the
last did the henschages?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
See? Did you rather tell you the name of this personage?
He did? Roar it, mister Holmes. Apparently the whole affair
was hushed up, I see, Please continue.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
The trouble began shortly after Uncle Timothy and I received
the ruby. A description of it was published in the papers,
and a few days later a message came to us
from the Egyptian Mohammad Ali, laying claimed to the stone
as one stolen from his family years ago. He sent
an expert to our house who examined the ruby under.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
A lens, mister Holmes, and then kept it with a hammer.
It fell to pieces twas a fraud, gracious, way amazing thing.
I'm sure that's not the end of the store, Miss Henshaw, Ohly,
mister Holmes, I wrote and told my brother what had happened.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
He became very suspicious and suggested that I investigate the
credentials of the expert that examined the stone.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I think I can finish the story for you. The
supposed expert was a duelty who substituted a paste ruby
for the real one, destroyed the imitation. I walked off
for the treasure. It's no trick, of course. You haven't
been able to find any trace of the supposed expert. Well,
that's the funny part of mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Uncle Timothy and I gave a description to the police,
but it was a very vague one, I'm afraid. All
the time, Uncle, the man reminded him of a colleague
of his many years ago at the university, a professor
of mathematics.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He couldn't think of his name.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
But when we first saw the play a few nights ago,
it was reminded of it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The name was Mariarti, Mariatti, But Mariarti's dead, as mans,
why you say you were? I can shadow it for
some weeks. Yes, an Egyptian. You're still in the room.
And mister Holmes, why don't they leave me alone that
miss Henshaw represents her. That's a very fascinating problem and
one that I shall be most happy to help you solve.
You so much the likes again the last act, Yes,
(11:29):
the last act of this little play, but not I
fear of miss Henshaw's problems. Let's meet after the act
in the class dressing room, Charley, Well, Holmes, how did
(11:51):
you enjoy the play? Very much? To claud May, I
introduce my old friend, doctor Watson. How do you do
as a car high doctor? I see you've already made
the acquenders of miss sne Or. She no doubt has
totally her trouble then, and mister Holmes is promised to
help me splending. Tell me what's all? How did you like?
The Play's interesting? The claude not quite accurate? Of course?
(12:13):
Who tells you? You have to allow us a little
dramatic license. You know, what did you think of Rodney?
The man who was praying you? Doc Oh, since you
mentioned it, I think the fellow needs to study addictionary.
Mumble so much, sir, I come, no, fellow, I think
there are times when you're ill, go hard to understand yourself.
Oh rubbish, So Claude, I hope you'll meet us the
(12:35):
Diogenes Club and then we can go out and have
some supper. Excellent idea. I'll tell you there after I've
taken off my mates. Splendid. I think I should be
going home now to CLAWDS.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I gave my address to mister Holmes, so he knows
where to get.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
In touch with the Wells. Don't worry. I shall give
your problem my undivided attention. I'll take you to your cab,
my deear. There's no need to say non. Some science
sists to hatch on a good night. Goodnight, strange business
homes would will you make a bit of very little
as yet, but it's a fascinating problem.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Corre really seems to her have identified himself with the
character of Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He gave me the impression that he feels quite capable
of solving the case by himself. Hello, claud hasn't left.
He's coming back in a moment, and you like to
play gentlemen very much. Your own performances, Mayati was most convincing. Congratulations, congratulations.
A couple of times there I had a strange feeling,
(13:33):
which you really Well, that's very flattering. Doctor. Oh hello,
all the sounds of there's some trouble at stage door?
He excuse me? On what Let's follow him? Right? Hell,
that's the Clawn. He seems upset about something. Yes, what
happens Clawn, Oh Holmes, I just seen mis Hanshoff in
(13:56):
her cap when her fam looking fellow him door way
and got into another. I heard him, felt that I
got to follow her. I tried to stop him, but
he got away. It must be the same man that
we saw in a box during the player as a cloud,
and we have an address. I think we'll drive that
once and see that she's arrived safely. We'll join you
later at the Diogenies Club. Well homes here we go
(14:26):
off on another adventure, yes, and one they may give
us an opportunity of crossing tords with my auntie once more.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh, Mariarch is dead. He was killed when you and
he fell over the precipice in ninety one.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He was supposed to have been killed just as I was,
but his body was never found. It's impossible, or rather possible,
that he returned to pour into the ears of Colonel
Morana's story as unlikely and as true, but the one
I related to you on that April evening in eighteen
ninety four, one can be sure of death, old chap
until one has touched the cold skin out a corpse.
(15:05):
Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds,
hardly time for me to tell you about a really
great petree wine, Petrie California muscatel. Did you ever walk
through a vineyard early in the morning and pick a big,
juicy muscat grape right off the vine?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
M M.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
If you've ever done that, then you know what to
expect when you taste petree muscatel. Petree muscatel is the
color of golden sunshine, with a flavor to match, Sir,
Petrie musketel after dinner some evening, or turve it anytime
friends drop in. It's a wonderful way to express your
hospitality with a wonderful wine, a pet tree wine. And
(15:53):
now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holm's adventure. The famous
pair have become involved in a strange mystery concerning a
story Ruby, a frightened girl, and an Egyptian who appears
to be shadowing her. As we rejoined our story, Sherlock
Holmes and doctor Watson are standing in a darkened alleyway
adjoining the girl's home. Homes Look, look, look an Egyptian fellow.
He's pacing up and down in front of the house. Yes,
(16:14):
therefore we may assume she's staying inside. Uh huh, thanks
for giving up. He's coming this way, exacting meself against
the wall. Please, sir, believe me. Who are you? Please?
We are friends of miss Henshaw, and we're very curious
to know why you've been following her. I am sorry
that I cannot answer your question. Set. Look here, my man,
(16:35):
you're talking to Sherlock Home. You are mister Sherlock Holmes.
I'm greatly honored to meet your set all my life.
I have known of you all my life. I have
admired you. Then, in that case, that's you will answer
my questions why have you been following miss Henshaw? Because
it is my duty for you in your duty, perhaps.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I should have said my destiny with Holmes for two
generations now, the family of a Rabbi, of which I
am remember, I have dedicated their lives to finding the
stolen treasure.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Of Ashun's what I gotta do with Miss Henshaw. The
treasure of Ashu.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
It is a giant ruby. It was stolen many years
ago from the family of Muhammad Ali. A few months ago,
Miss Hanshaw received a mysterious ruvie. I have found out
many things, mister Holmes. I have many sources of information,
and I.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Must regard you in the light of a rival detective.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
In this case, I happily call myself the detective, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
My life is.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Dedicated to only one problem. Miss Hanshaw now says the
jewel was stolen from her.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I do not believe it. That is why I watch her.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
If I am wrong this time, and I do not
think I am wrong, then my quest must go on always.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It would go on. Permit me to wish you the best,
But sir, thank you, mister Holmes. Good night, gentlemen, meet again.
Oh why did you let him go? Why not? He's
frightening Miss Henshaw, but not molesting her old chap. In fact,
it might be a good thing if someone is keeping
an eye on her. Meanwhile, Watson, let's see if we
can find a cab and get back to the diaponies. Bubye,
(18:04):
I don't want to keep the cloud waiting. I thought
I have the clad Hawking arrived yet, Yes, mister Holmes
here and another gentleman came in about five minutes ago.
They went up to the library. The other gentleman is
just like, I see, thank you this way, Watson. I'm sorry,
(18:30):
sir Cord. We kept you waiting. We took a little long.
But it's a Cord, great heaven. What's the matter with him?
Of course I found the answer too late. It's it's
as they're trying to send up your ill. What are
you trying to tell me? The Ruby? The Ruby Marioty
(18:54):
The answer the answers, m h. The book. The book
was the clud Holmes. He's been stabbed. He's dead, just
as he was trying to give me a message. He
is muttering something about the Ruby and Mariarty, and twice
(19:16):
he said it's in the book. Yes, there's a book
still in his hand. It's coffee. It tells of Edgar
Allan Pearls Dams marking page, the story of the Pearline Letter.
Thank you, sup Claude, you delivered your message. Come on, Watson,
we want to catch a murder and a thief. We
must go back to the Savoy tell as quickly as
we can. Why do you suppose the Claude was murdered
(19:49):
because it was too curious in investigating the problem of
the stolen ruby and found out something something he promised
to tell me at supper, I remember, and so he
was killed by a man who came with him to
the club tonight. Fortunately he gave me a clue by
indicating pos story of a purloined letter, and I still
don't see it at high That helps you when it
leads us to the ruby. The premise of post Toilen
(20:11):
is that the most obvious hiding place is the safest.
Now what a physical object was most prominent on the
stage in tonight's play by jove a Roof. Exactly how
better can you hide a stolen ruby than by exhibiting
it night after night as a stolen ruby before the
eyes of thousands. You mean you expect to find it
in the property room backstaycidly that and a murderer quite
(20:34):
pasta Come on watch them. You have heard about the
old chap ye yes I do. I'll keep it handy
visit may not be unexpected and a lot. That's good.
Come on look her. Look the door keeper he stumped
over his desk. Hmm, he's been get control upon. Will
(20:55):
take the liberty of following his lantern.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Hummer the atmosphere about a dark and empty theater.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Now where that the stage properties be kept? I wonder
hold the lantern at high with over the that's itid Wow,
Look over there a large cabin. It's marked popular department
and it's unlocked. Oh, this is frighteningly easy. Let's look
(21:29):
out for track. Now let's see. Look. Look that's a
ruby lying on that prece Hold it up on the lanton,
Watson exactly. It's as I thought. This is no paste
stage property. It's a genuine ruby. The light of this lantern,
it's very hard time on some quick, you're gonna go
us smash the lanton. Yes, he's got an air right,
(21:51):
or a poper one to compact. There's no flash to
indicate where he's firing from. Of course, he's baited his
traps so neatly that he knows exactly where we are.
A shot at him. I can't see anything but at
least that'll let him know we're armed. Now move your
position quickly watching. Just miss me, Holmes. This is this
hopeless shooting in the dark. Yes, and I've got to
(22:11):
switch the stage lights on keep him off. The head
fell over you. But I try to find the light switches.
I've got him, but he still still shoot and found it. Yes,
when I come to light switch, keep your eye skin watching.
I'm turning it off. There he is, Homes, I'm in
the parking away after button. You can jump over the
(22:32):
for tights into the box. Ah, I played the purpose
plum button. I should have remembered the theater exit doors
always open from the inside. No, he didn't get away.
Homes fork on the floor. It's that Egyptian fellow. I
hope you haven't wounded in too badly. I don't care
if I have. He was trying to kill us.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's when he shoulder wound. He's fainted, infernal scoundrel.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Now he's a very gallant man. Undoubtedly he was trying
to save us as you shot him. Just now, hearth
you talking about Mariarte What Mariartti Justice kicked through the
door you heard clang a few moments ago and what's
this man doing here? As apode detective? Undoubtedly he followed us,
perhaps he preceded us when Mariatti started shooting. This man
tried to capture him and got wounded by you for fames?
(23:19):
Then who is Mariati? He must be someone connected with
his servant. It's obvious Mariatti is Moriatti? What you mean?
Frank Pharows the fellow that played the part on stage?
Again remember Poe's tory of a purloined letter? But why
didn't didn't you recognize him? Remember I hadn't seen him
for twenty years, and you haven't forgotten his genius? But disguise?
(23:40):
Have you? What incredible? Aujuster? How bad could Mariatti conceal
himself than by announcing lightly to the theater going public
that he was Professor Marianna and he kills the claude
Because he did, the world must have persuaded Mariatti to
go to the club with him. Probably he hoped to
expose him in front of me, but Mariarte found out
that taught you too much? Yes, so he stepped in,
(24:04):
rushed back here debate's trap for us? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
but how did he know that we'd we'd walk into it. Well,
he knew that it's a car that gets his secret.
And I set forward, and so he was waiting for us. Oh, hello,
it's coming through. How are you feeling, ma, man? The
(24:25):
the rupie, the ruby? Did you find the rupee? Yes,
here is sir? Tell me, is it the rupie of
Muhammad Ali? No?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
No, there's a fine storm, but it is not the
one for which I have searched aout my life so
much endless Christ must go on.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
He sat it again, and mess I made it this
case once somewhere. I don't know you. He covered the rumor. Yes,
looked at old Fellow before I turned it over to
Miss Hanshaw. Look at it. Well, probably it's every facet
stands for a bloody deed. It's a beautiful sound. Yet
this lovely bable costs to Claude's wife, and that devil
(25:15):
Mariotti still goes free. One day, Watson, And may the
day comes soon I shall meet Mariatti again. And when
that happens and I finally bring him to justice, then
and only then can you write Finney to the character
of Sela Holm's well doctor. That was kind of an
(25:44):
exciting story. Tell me. Did the Egyptian recover from his
bullock war years?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Indeed you did, and rather quickly too, mister Foreman, I
felt a bad day about shooting him, but.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Of course I couldn't holp it of course now. But
you know, if I had to shoot summer accident, I would.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You should been the actor who portrayed me on the stage,
wretched fellow mumble over plate.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh, don't worry about that. After all, you did recover
the ruby, Yes, in a beautiful stone.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It was the color of well, the color of fine
glass of port, and the light shine through it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
By a fine port. I take it you talking about
a pet report? Is there any other kind? For all?
Getting his? Did? Doctor? Pet report? Like all Petre wines,
is good wine. And I can tell you why very
simply Petrie took time to bring you good wine. You see,
the Petrie family has been making wine for a good
many generations, since way back in the eighteen hundreds. Because
(26:43):
the Petrie business has always been family owned. Everything the
family has ever learned about the art of making wine,
they'd been able to hand down from father to son,
from father to son. That adds up to a lot
of skill and a lot of experience when it comes
to turning plump filled California grapes into clear, fragrant, delicious wine.
(27:04):
So when you want a wine for any occasion, obviously
you can't go wrong with a Petree wine because Petree
took time to bring you good wine. And now, doctor Watson,
what story do you have lined up for us next week?
I'll ever see next week, mister Foreman.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I am going to tell you a most unusual adventure
that occurred to Sherlock.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Holmes and me early in the Last World War.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It took place in Flanders and concerned a famous British general,
an actress, and a German firing squad.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And that sounds like a real thriller. Well, i'll see
you here next week. No, no, no, not here, mister Foreman. Remember,
Or of course, next week we're going to be at
the Paramount Theater in Hollywood for the seven four Long Drive.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's quite right, ladies and gentlemen. I can't invite you
all to my home for one of our broadcasts, but
we can get together next week at the Paramount Theater
in Hollywood. You can get a free ticket for our
broadcast by buying a war bond, and I still hope
that you will do this so that we can see
you next week.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
At this time the night. Cherlock Holm's Adventure is written
by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher and is based on
(28:26):
an incident in the Sir Arthur Coleman Doyle story The
Adventure of the Second Stain. Mister Rathbone appears to the
courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor and mister Bruce to the
courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now starring in
the Sherlock Holms series. The pet Tree Wine Company of
(28:50):
San Francisco, California invite you to tune in again next week's,
same time, same station. All the pet Tree family took
the time to bring you so good wine. So when
you eat and when you cook, remember pet Tree Wine
to make good food taste better. Remember Tree wh It's
(29:19):
been Bill Forman saying good night for the pet Tree Family.
Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood Studios. This
is the mutual broadcasting System.
This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service. Pet Tree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and
Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The
(00:26):
Petree family, the family that took time to bring you
good wine, invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell
about another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
that Mass Detective Sherlock Holmes. I suppose your dinner's well
over by now, so now's the perfect time to get
out a bottle of that swell Petree California Port. You know,
Petree Port just made for a time like this after dinner,
(00:48):
when you're just taking things easy. If you've ever tasted
Petre Port, you know what I mean. It's a hearty,
full bodied wine with a deep red color and a
favor that's just about out of this world. I think
that if you had only one wine to choose, and
the whole world to choose from, chances are you'd pick
Port Petreport. That's how good I think it is. That's
(01:10):
saying plenty, I know, but I think Petreport will easily
live up to all I say about it. Try it
to see and share it with your friends. You can
serve Petreport proudly because the name Petrie is the proudest
name in the history of American wines. And now let's
(01:39):
visit our old friend, doctor Watson. Em here on the
petty mister porn. No one else join me as firing
the sunset, eh, doctor, Yes, my voice a particularly beautiful one.
Where the puppies listening.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Asleep on a favorite treat coat of mine just come back.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And you hadn't the heart to move them? I suppose, No, No,
I hadn't. The little fellows looked so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
In fact, I sometimes wonder if the you woudn't come
here to listen to a dissertation on the behavior of dogs.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well is getting your story time, doctor, Yes, of course
it is. Well, just let me get my pipe probably lighted. Ah,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The story I'm angry to tell you tonight began in
nineteen hundred and nine.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I received a telegram from my old friend.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Telling me that he was leading his Sussex b farm
and coming.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
To London for a few days.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I hadn't seen the great man for several months, though,
naturally I went to Victoria station to meet him.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
As a train drew to a.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Stop, the door of a first cast carriage swung open,
and stock Holmes, hand out stretched, jumped down onto.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
The platform to greet. What's my dear fellow? HOWI Oh,
hold my dear fellow. It's good to see you again.
I've missed you. And are you wichat heavy of bates? Yes, pot,
I'm getting a handsome char I wish I'd got a
fair room for nobody, wasn't I should be very comfortable
at the Diogenes stop, by the way. I trust your
free this evening here's naturally one of your plans probably
(03:09):
go to the Pura. Oh what play do you want
to see? I probably go to the Savoy here and
see the Shlock Holmes play. I hear it's enormously success
and I know it is, but I've avoided it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm told it to Claude Houghton takes great liberties with
your character. And as for the actor portraying me, my
friends told me the Travester he makes me nothing that
a bumbling old.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Therefore, a visit to the play might be a salutary
experience for both of us. In any case, my tip
to London. This response to a urgent telegram from Support
himself seems to need my help brother badly. Oh well,
he wasn't specific in his telegram. He suggested, however, we
attend to Night's performance and discuss the matter with him afterwards.
I see, well, I suppose if you can sit through it,
I can, of course, Kennal alarm. In any case, you
(03:54):
yourself are quite so responsible for the player's existence. I
mean those sensational star who wrote of my muddiest problems.
I should have seen where they would eventually lead to
in time though doctors he portrayed on the cinematograph as well. No,
that new fangled things on their toil, I think, not button.
We're on the edge of a strange, new mechanical world.
(04:16):
In fact, I begin to feel a certain concern about
the rumored developments in Wallace telegraphy. But enough of these predictions.
It comes our order with a cap. They'll tell the
driver to take a strict to the savoy kurer. Just
(04:41):
look at that line of people at the City Box
Office home clapping old chat. Possibly, but I hope it
doesn't mean that we've got a way to turn. Excuse me, gentlemen.
You're mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson an't chow. Yes, yes,
I thought I couldn't be mistaken. My name is Frank Feller.
As a box reserved for you, we asked me to
(05:01):
see that you are quite comfortably consider it, doctuan, Will
you follow me? Please? Thank you. Neither of you have
seen the play before. I understand no, mispellers, we haven't.
I imasure will be a strange experiencing ourselves portrayed on
the stage. By the way, I'm playing the part of
an old friend of yours, Professor Moriarty. Oh indeed, I'm
looking forward to a very entertaining evening. I'd assume that
(05:24):
you escape hard touches as us will. Yes, I do,
mister Holmes, and I've done it nicely. Now for one
hundred and thirty seven for foles record that I'm sure
Professor morriatiums to put in me had it not been
for his memorable demise of the racing back falls. Here
we are, gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
This is the box reserve for you. And now, if
you'll excuse me, I'll go back to my dressing bottle. Oh,
I never brought this to Holmes, so the cord asked
me to give you this note.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Thank you all. Well, I'll see you later. H very
nice for for nector obvious snob Watson. Well, what does
the claud note say? I'll read it to your you're home.
Since I telegraphed you yesterday, there have been strange developments.
In fact, I've been doing some detective off stage as
(06:12):
well as on. Watch the performance tonight, and watch the
audience too, particularly the occupant of the box opposite yours.
Please come to my dressing room as soon as the
last curtain has fallen. He's been very mysterious, and the
box ops is empty. No, no look what to look?
Saoneer's just t to count found at the house lights
going out the first act beginning Home the first act, Yes,
(06:36):
well said back and relax, old fellow. Let's see what
they're done to us. Well, well did you think of
the first at home? All the first act? Years? Yes,
(06:57):
I was examining the go into the box opposite ours
from attract a young lady alone and unusually preoccupied in
her programmed. In fact, one might assume that she was
trying to hide our face.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yes, but the play. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Just
imagine a crown jeweled the stone.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
From love and why not? It's been attempted many times.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Anyhow, you must admit that the actor who's portraying me
behaves like like a blithering idiot, and the clause interpretation
of you is pretty far.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Fetched, far fetched. The flapping button a poise? WHAT'SPARVIATI? What
a poise? I find myself fully entertained. You are a
strange chaper accounting for the taste? Stop? What the look
the back of the box of the Lord I could
have sworn a man dodged behind the curtain. I don't
think the girl saw him, though, attrack a pomo. I
(07:47):
think that the young ladies alone will take the liberty
of joiner oh dash? Should they go the lights again?
The second act starting now? And sit down, plow. We
don't want to attract attention, and we will join out
during the next intermition. Why what do you want with me?
(08:17):
My name is shut up pumbs, and this is my colleague,
Dr Watson. How do you do, young Lenna? I hope
you'll forgive this inclusion, but supported the quested that I
keep an eye on you doing a tonight. She's coming in.
Sit down. Won't you thank you? This is very kind.
I know you must forgive my I've got this just now.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So I've just been watching share that Combs and Dr
Watson being impersonated on the stage. It's Saba started to
have the real couple walk into my book.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I quite understand by the way, just before the curtain
went up on the second Egy, I thought I was
just a man coming to the neck of this box
and this disappear again. Were you aware of his presence? No? No,
I didn't see him, but I know who it is.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
It's been following me for weeks now. You'd like you
tell us about it, Missus Henshaw, Alicia Henshaw, Yes, I will,
as a matter of fact. That's why I'm here tonight.
Sir Claude Houghton's an old friend of my father's. I
had to ask his advice.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
He did then.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Investigating himself for a few days, and then he found
himself a little out of his depth, though he decided
to telegraph for you, mister Holmes. We were going to
meet in his dressing room after the performance tonight.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
BRender A Lama's Henshaw, what is your story? This strange and.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Mister Holmes, though I didn't realize just how strange until
I first saw this play a few nights ago.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You see, my.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Story concerns the stilen ruby good.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Lord to Night's Plain of all round the same thing exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I might as well tell you how it all started.
My brother is an officer in the British Army stationed
in Egypt. Earlier this year he saved the life of
a very important native personage and some uprising in Cairo,
and was rewarded with a magnificent ruby. This jewel he
sent to my uncle Timothy and me. Or where the
last did the henschages?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
See? Did you rather tell you the name of this personage?
He did? Roar it, mister Holmes. Apparently the whole affair
was hushed up, I see, Please continue.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
The trouble began shortly after Uncle Timothy and I received
the ruby. A description of it was published in the papers,
and a few days later a message came to us
from the Egyptian Mohammad Ali, laying claimed to the stone
as one stolen from his family years ago. He sent
an expert to our house who examined the ruby under.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
A lens, mister Holmes, and then kept it with a hammer.
It fell to pieces twas a fraud, gracious, way amazing thing.
I'm sure that's not the end of the store, Miss Henshaw, Ohly,
mister Holmes, I wrote and told my brother what had happened.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
He became very suspicious and suggested that I investigate the
credentials of the expert that examined the stone.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I think I can finish the story for you. The
supposed expert was a duelty who substituted a paste ruby
for the real one, destroyed the imitation. I walked off
for the treasure. It's no trick, of course. You haven't
been able to find any trace of the supposed expert. Well,
that's the funny part of mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Uncle Timothy and I gave a description to the police,
but it was a very vague one, I'm afraid. All
the time, Uncle, the man reminded him of a colleague
of his many years ago at the university, a professor
of mathematics.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He couldn't think of his name.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
But when we first saw the play a few nights ago,
it was reminded of it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The name was Mariarti, Mariatti, But Mariarti's dead, as mans,
why you say you were? I can shadow it for
some weeks. Yes, an Egyptian. You're still in the room.
And mister Holmes, why don't they leave me alone that
miss Henshaw represents her. That's a very fascinating problem and
one that I shall be most happy to help you solve.
You so much the likes again the last act, Yes,
(11:29):
the last act of this little play, but not I
fear of miss Henshaw's problems. Let's meet after the act
in the class dressing room, Charley, Well, Holmes, how did
(11:51):
you enjoy the play? Very much? To claud May, I
introduce my old friend, doctor Watson. How do you do
as a car high doctor? I see you've already made
the acquenders of miss sne Or. She no doubt has
totally her trouble then, and mister Holmes is promised to
help me splending. Tell me what's all? How did you like?
The Play's interesting? The claude not quite accurate? Of course?
(12:13):
Who tells you? You have to allow us a little
dramatic license. You know, what did you think of Rodney?
The man who was praying you? Doc Oh, since you
mentioned it, I think the fellow needs to study addictionary.
Mumble so much, sir, I come, no, fellow, I think
there are times when you're ill, go hard to understand yourself.
Oh rubbish, So Claude, I hope you'll meet us the
(12:35):
Diogenes Club and then we can go out and have
some supper. Excellent idea. I'll tell you there after I've
taken off my mates. Splendid. I think I should be
going home now to CLAWDS.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I gave my address to mister Holmes, so he knows
where to get.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
In touch with the Wells. Don't worry. I shall give
your problem my undivided attention. I'll take you to your cab,
my deear. There's no need to say non. Some science
sists to hatch on a good night. Goodnight, strange business
homes would will you make a bit of very little
as yet, but it's a fascinating problem.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Corre really seems to her have identified himself with the
character of Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He gave me the impression that he feels quite capable
of solving the case by himself. Hello, claud hasn't left.
He's coming back in a moment, and you like to
play gentlemen very much. Your own performances, Mayati was most convincing. Congratulations, congratulations.
A couple of times there I had a strange feeling,
(13:33):
which you really Well, that's very flattering. Doctor. Oh hello,
all the sounds of there's some trouble at stage door?
He excuse me? On what Let's follow him? Right? Hell,
that's the Clawn. He seems upset about something. Yes, what
happens Clawn, Oh Holmes, I just seen mis Hanshoff in
(13:56):
her cap when her fam looking fellow him door way
and got into another. I heard him, felt that I
got to follow her. I tried to stop him, but
he got away. It must be the same man that
we saw in a box during the player as a cloud,
and we have an address. I think we'll drive that
once and see that she's arrived safely. We'll join you
later at the Diogenies Club. Well homes here we go
(14:26):
off on another adventure, yes, and one they may give
us an opportunity of crossing tords with my auntie once more.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh, Mariarch is dead. He was killed when you and
he fell over the precipice in ninety one.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He was supposed to have been killed just as I was,
but his body was never found. It's impossible, or rather possible,
that he returned to pour into the ears of Colonel
Morana's story as unlikely and as true, but the one
I related to you on that April evening in eighteen
ninety four, one can be sure of death, old chap
until one has touched the cold skin out a corpse.
(15:05):
Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds,
hardly time for me to tell you about a really
great petree wine, Petrie California muscatel. Did you ever walk
through a vineyard early in the morning and pick a big,
juicy muscat grape right off the vine?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
M M.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
If you've ever done that, then you know what to
expect when you taste petree muscatel. Petree muscatel is the
color of golden sunshine, with a flavor to match, Sir,
Petrie musketel after dinner some evening, or turve it anytime
friends drop in. It's a wonderful way to express your
hospitality with a wonderful wine, a pet tree wine. And
(15:53):
now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holm's adventure. The famous
pair have become involved in a strange mystery concerning a
story Ruby, a frightened girl, and an Egyptian who appears
to be shadowing her. As we rejoined our story, Sherlock
Holmes and doctor Watson are standing in a darkened alleyway
adjoining the girl's home. Homes Look, look, look an Egyptian fellow.
He's pacing up and down in front of the house. Yes,
(16:14):
therefore we may assume she's staying inside. Uh huh, thanks
for giving up. He's coming this way, exacting meself against
the wall. Please, sir, believe me. Who are you? Please?
We are friends of miss Henshaw, and we're very curious
to know why you've been following her. I am sorry
that I cannot answer your question. Set. Look here, my man,
(16:35):
you're talking to Sherlock Home. You are mister Sherlock Holmes.
I'm greatly honored to meet your set all my life.
I have known of you all my life. I have
admired you. Then, in that case, that's you will answer
my questions why have you been following miss Henshaw? Because
it is my duty for you in your duty, perhaps.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I should have said my destiny with Holmes for two
generations now, the family of a Rabbi, of which I
am remember, I have dedicated their lives to finding the
stolen treasure.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Of Ashun's what I gotta do with Miss Henshaw. The
treasure of Ashu.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
It is a giant ruby. It was stolen many years
ago from the family of Muhammad Ali. A few months ago,
Miss Hanshaw received a mysterious ruvie. I have found out
many things, mister Holmes. I have many sources of information,
and I.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Must regard you in the light of a rival detective.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
In this case, I happily call myself the detective, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
My life is.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Dedicated to only one problem. Miss Hanshaw now says the
jewel was stolen from her.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I do not believe it. That is why I watch her.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
If I am wrong this time, and I do not
think I am wrong, then my quest must go on always.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It would go on. Permit me to wish you the best,
But sir, thank you, mister Holmes. Good night, gentlemen, meet again.
Oh why did you let him go? Why not? He's
frightening Miss Henshaw, but not molesting her old chap. In fact,
it might be a good thing if someone is keeping
an eye on her. Meanwhile, Watson, let's see if we
can find a cab and get back to the diaponies. Bubye,
(18:04):
I don't want to keep the cloud waiting. I thought
I have the clad Hawking arrived yet, Yes, mister Holmes
here and another gentleman came in about five minutes ago.
They went up to the library. The other gentleman is
just like, I see, thank you this way, Watson. I'm sorry,
(18:30):
sir Cord. We kept you waiting. We took a little long.
But it's a Cord, great heaven. What's the matter with him?
Of course I found the answer too late. It's it's
as they're trying to send up your ill. What are
you trying to tell me? The Ruby? The Ruby Marioty
(18:54):
The answer the answers, m h. The book. The book
was the clud Holmes. He's been stabbed. He's dead, just
as he was trying to give me a message. He
is muttering something about the Ruby and Mariarty, and twice
(19:16):
he said it's in the book. Yes, there's a book
still in his hand. It's coffee. It tells of Edgar
Allan Pearls Dams marking page, the story of the Pearline Letter.
Thank you, sup Claude, you delivered your message. Come on, Watson,
we want to catch a murder and a thief. We
must go back to the Savoy tell as quickly as
we can. Why do you suppose the Claude was murdered
(19:49):
because it was too curious in investigating the problem of
the stolen ruby and found out something something he promised
to tell me at supper, I remember, and so he
was killed by a man who came with him to
the club tonight. Fortunately he gave me a clue by
indicating pos story of a purloined letter, and I still
don't see it at high That helps you when it
leads us to the ruby. The premise of post Toilen
(20:11):
is that the most obvious hiding place is the safest.
Now what a physical object was most prominent on the
stage in tonight's play by jove a Roof. Exactly how
better can you hide a stolen ruby than by exhibiting
it night after night as a stolen ruby before the
eyes of thousands. You mean you expect to find it
in the property room backstaycidly that and a murderer quite
(20:34):
pasta Come on watch them. You have heard about the
old chap ye yes I do. I'll keep it handy
visit may not be unexpected and a lot. That's good.
Come on look her. Look the door keeper he stumped
over his desk. Hmm, he's been get control upon. Will
(20:55):
take the liberty of following his lantern.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Hummer the atmosphere about a dark and empty theater.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Now where that the stage properties be kept? I wonder
hold the lantern at high with over the that's itid Wow,
Look over there a large cabin. It's marked popular department
and it's unlocked. Oh, this is frighteningly easy. Let's look
(21:29):
out for track. Now let's see. Look. Look that's a
ruby lying on that prece Hold it up on the lanton,
Watson exactly. It's as I thought. This is no paste
stage property. It's a genuine ruby. The light of this lantern,
it's very hard time on some quick, you're gonna go
us smash the lanton. Yes, he's got an air right,
(21:51):
or a poper one to compact. There's no flash to
indicate where he's firing from. Of course, he's baited his
traps so neatly that he knows exactly where we are.
A shot at him. I can't see anything but at
least that'll let him know we're armed. Now move your
position quickly watching. Just miss me, Holmes. This is this
hopeless shooting in the dark. Yes, and I've got to
(22:11):
switch the stage lights on keep him off. The head
fell over you. But I try to find the light switches.
I've got him, but he still still shoot and found it. Yes,
when I come to light switch, keep your eye skin watching.
I'm turning it off. There he is, Homes, I'm in
the parking away after button. You can jump over the
(22:32):
for tights into the box. Ah, I played the purpose
plum button. I should have remembered the theater exit doors
always open from the inside. No, he didn't get away.
Homes fork on the floor. It's that Egyptian fellow. I
hope you haven't wounded in too badly. I don't care
if I have. He was trying to kill us.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's when he shoulder wound. He's fainted, infernal scoundrel.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Now he's a very gallant man. Undoubtedly he was trying
to save us as you shot him. Just now, hearth
you talking about Mariarte What Mariartti Justice kicked through the
door you heard clang a few moments ago and what's
this man doing here? As apode detective? Undoubtedly he followed us,
perhaps he preceded us when Mariatti started shooting. This man
tried to capture him and got wounded by you for fames?
(23:19):
Then who is Mariati? He must be someone connected with
his servant. It's obvious Mariatti is Moriatti? What you mean?
Frank Pharows the fellow that played the part on stage?
Again remember Poe's tory of a purloined letter? But why
didn't didn't you recognize him? Remember I hadn't seen him
for twenty years, and you haven't forgotten his genius? But disguise?
(23:40):
Have you? What incredible? Aujuster? How bad could Mariatti conceal
himself than by announcing lightly to the theater going public
that he was Professor Marianna and he kills the claude
Because he did, the world must have persuaded Mariatti to
go to the club with him. Probably he hoped to
expose him in front of me, but Mariarte found out
that taught you too much? Yes, so he stepped in,
(24:04):
rushed back here debate's trap for us? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
but how did he know that we'd we'd walk into it. Well,
he knew that it's a car that gets his secret.
And I set forward, and so he was waiting for us. Oh, hello,
it's coming through. How are you feeling, ma, man? The
(24:25):
the rupie, the ruby? Did you find the rupee? Yes,
here is sir? Tell me, is it the rupie of
Muhammad Ali? No?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
No, there's a fine storm, but it is not the
one for which I have searched aout my life so
much endless Christ must go on.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
He sat it again, and mess I made it this
case once somewhere. I don't know you. He covered the rumor. Yes,
looked at old Fellow before I turned it over to
Miss Hanshaw. Look at it. Well, probably it's every facet
stands for a bloody deed. It's a beautiful sound. Yet
this lovely bable costs to Claude's wife, and that devil
(25:15):
Mariotti still goes free. One day, Watson, And may the
day comes soon I shall meet Mariatti again. And when
that happens and I finally bring him to justice, then
and only then can you write Finney to the character
of Sela Holm's well doctor. That was kind of an
(25:44):
exciting story. Tell me. Did the Egyptian recover from his
bullock war years?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Indeed you did, and rather quickly too, mister Foreman, I
felt a bad day about shooting him, but.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Of course I couldn't holp it of course now. But
you know, if I had to shoot summer accident, I would.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You should been the actor who portrayed me on the stage,
wretched fellow mumble over plate.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh, don't worry about that. After all, you did recover
the ruby, Yes, in a beautiful stone.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It was the color of well, the color of fine
glass of port, and the light shine through it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
By a fine port. I take it you talking about
a pet report? Is there any other kind? For all?
Getting his? Did? Doctor? Pet report? Like all Petre wines,
is good wine. And I can tell you why very
simply Petrie took time to bring you good wine. You see,
the Petrie family has been making wine for a good
many generations, since way back in the eighteen hundreds. Because
(26:43):
the Petrie business has always been family owned. Everything the
family has ever learned about the art of making wine,
they'd been able to hand down from father to son,
from father to son. That adds up to a lot
of skill and a lot of experience when it comes
to turning plump filled California grapes into clear, fragrant, delicious wine.
(27:04):
So when you want a wine for any occasion, obviously
you can't go wrong with a Petree wine because Petree
took time to bring you good wine. And now, doctor Watson,
what story do you have lined up for us next week?
I'll ever see next week, mister Foreman.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I am going to tell you a most unusual adventure
that occurred to Sherlock.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Holmes and me early in the Last World War.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It took place in Flanders and concerned a famous British general,
an actress, and a German firing squad.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And that sounds like a real thriller. Well, i'll see
you here next week. No, no, no, not here, mister Foreman. Remember,
Or of course, next week we're going to be at
the Paramount Theater in Hollywood for the seven four Long Drive.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
That's quite right, ladies and gentlemen. I can't invite you
all to my home for one of our broadcasts, but
we can get together next week at the Paramount Theater
in Hollywood. You can get a free ticket for our
broadcast by buying a war bond, and I still hope
that you will do this so that we can see
you next week.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
At this time the night. Cherlock Holm's Adventure is written
by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher and is based on
(28:26):
an incident in the Sir Arthur Coleman Doyle story The
Adventure of the Second Stain. Mister Rathbone appears to the
courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor and mister Bruce to the
courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now starring in
the Sherlock Holms series. The pet Tree Wine Company of
(28:50):
San Francisco, California invite you to tune in again next week's,
same time, same station. All the pet Tree family took
the time to bring you so good wine. So when
you eat and when you cook, remember pet Tree Wine
to make good food taste better. Remember Tree wh It's
