Speaker 1 (00:11):
From New York, the makers of flipper Craft clothes from Men,
and two hundred and thirty six leading retail stors from
coast to coast present the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
(00:35):
Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
dramatations are by Edith Miser.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, here we are, once again, settled comfortably in front
of doctor Watson's cheerful fireplace outside the winter, with whale's life. Well,
let's see, what does the wind sound like tonight, doctor Watson?
A last soul or a baffle vanshy?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
What we said, he, mister Harris, that wind sounds rather
like bast the ancient Egyptian cat goddess sometimes called u Bastists.
She howls, they say, if anyone understands the graves of
those who have consecrated themselves to her.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Oh, come now, doctor Watson, you don't believe that sort
of nonsense. You I'm not so sure, mister Harris. I'm
not so sure.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One fell and autumn night as Holmes and I crossed
the wind swept was that surround the King's Thailand? We
heard such a cry, a strange, harsh jutulation that struck
a chill to our marrow bones. And it's for good heavens,
there I go again, forgetting my manners.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
After all, you have something rather important to say, I believe,
mister Harrison. Well, I generally have doctor Watson. And speaking
of wind.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And chill, there's nothing like a clipper craft over good
to keep mouching on correct pity.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Holmes and I went wearing a kipper craft that night
of dark Moya. Now, doctors, this is my part of
the entertainment. Oh sorry, old men, pussy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Thank you. There are now ten hundred thirty six fine
stores across the nation that sell clippercraft clothes. Then a
tribute to the efficiency of the Clippercraft plan. And that's
a tribute also to the tremendous demand that an alert
American public is built for clippercraft. In the Clippercraft plan,
you see these ten hundred thirty six stores concentrate their
(02:25):
buying power, affecting tremendous savings the year round.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
In manufacturing and distribution, costs. These savings are all yours,
and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mighty nice thing to be able to outfit yourself with
values so exceptional at your own local independence store where
you get real service and friendly personal tension. Clippercraft suits
are only forty and forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats
and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Only twenty six to fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Seeing is believing to convince yourself beyond the shadow of
a doubt. Simply compare clippercraft with clothes selling for many
dollars more And after return to that icy wind on
the Morris, Doc Watson.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
When, as a matter of fact, mister Harris, that's not
where this adventure had its inception. It was a brisk
all day rather early in the century. After could deal arguments.
I had persuaded Holmes to accompany me on a constitutional
through Kensington Gardens our listeners doubtless, No, Holmes was never
a man who took exercises if he could avoid it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Lethargic sorted fellow. He doctor Watts were necessarily needless to say.
When we returned to Baker.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Street somewhere around five I was the one who was
popping like a grampus, while Holmes downed up the steps
as easily as a greyhound. Were met at the front
door by Missus Hudson, the Shepherdine and general fact tutum
of our bachelor domain.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Ah, Missus Hudson, what's up?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's way past your tea time.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Mister Holmes, Oh the places with team Adam. Give us
an early supper.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
What's more, a gentleman was dear white It upstairs half
an hour he stamping up and down on my ceilings.
I thought the chandelier would come loose.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Sounds like a client day Watson. Well, we could do
with a case hose. The exchequer is getting a bit low.
Bother the exchequer. Oh he's sake, Oh, relaxed, we're home,
you know.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Instead, it'd be best if it's a case. See that
he pays. Looks like he had money.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes, yes, missus Hudson's correct. Darley visitor undoubtedly had money.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He got away. But what made you think the blighter
was acquent to? Can't you smell it? He smoked the
very best tobacco. The matter he came to consultants about
must have been earli he's left his pipe here on the.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Table, a nice brier with a longish stem of what
the tobacco is funding for amber. Yes, he must have
been thoroughly disturbed to leave behind a piping value so highly.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh boy dash, how can you possibly know how he
values his sick pie and the benry.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My dear Watson elementary. The pipe has been twice mended,
once in the wooden stand and once in the amber,
each time with a silver band costing more than the
pipe originally. What's more, he's been here before because, having
run out of his own mixture, he's helped himself to
a pipe for from the Persian slipper on the mantelpiece.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No casuals Craine, you would know that's where I keep
my tobacco. But but here's a step up stairs. Come in,
Come in, confounded man. Why don't you stay at home?
Way of a long hose? It's colonel Rough. I'm viercely,
my dear Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Or bring our visitor a chair and a slight sedative,
some sort of Saint brandy and soda. I don't need
a brandy, Yes I do, confounded, a double brandy. But
don't tell me you've had another disaster on the boors
at King's Pyland.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Will you have that, mister Holmes. But this time is
not man that's been murdered. It's a horse worse, much worse.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Let me tell you there are many men equal of
Blazing Star.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Good Lord, Blazing Star. Isn't that your entry for the
Wessex Cup, Sir? It was dofter Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was ha Blazing Star. Watson was reading me an
item about it just the other day. I believe he's
the son of the famous Silver Blaze.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Out of lady luck.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You were able to rescue his side before me, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
He's time to in the Wessex Cup. What a race, that, Holmes.
But it's too late to do anything for poor Blazing Star.
By the rod, Harry, I mean to catch up with
the scum of the killer. And when I do, war
was contented. There's a special reservation in the last hell
for any man who miss tree.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Dnimiles quite but tell me exactly what happened at King's Pilon,
Colonel Ross, you.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Remember ned Hunter, mister Holmes. He was in charge of
the stable at the time Silver Blaze was adopted. Yes,
fine fellow, reliable and trustworthy.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
It's been promoted to the post of trainer since Uras
saw him, but he still sleeps in.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
The stable, doesn't does anyone else to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Blazing Star, like his sire of Forton, was the favorite
for the West Cup. I believe that's right, mister Holmes.
So Ned was being extra particular. None of those stable
boys were allowed to go near the horse. Ned groomed
and exercise him himself. No one else laid a hand
on the work. Can't take too many precautions with a winner, Holmes.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Donned rock Watson Well.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Yesterday afternoon I went down to the stables myself to
watch Blazing Star workouts.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Haha.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I wish you could have seen him.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The sunshine glint on his chestnut coat like a fiery streck.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
He was coming down the stretch. Never went better in
his life.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Well, I went into supper and cleared a place off
the mantel, the same place we kept the Whissex camp
when Silver Plays went it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of
the just. But along about two o'clock in the morning,
I was awakened by Ned Hunter. As I lift the lamp,
I could see.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
His face white as a sheet, and his hands shook
as though he had.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
The possy.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Day Dad, what's up?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
What's the matter? Man? It's the star, sir. He's took bad.
I better go for the vets. Good Lord, what happened?
He seemed in great shape this afternoon. I can't explain it, sir,
unless it was that cat upset him. You know how
he always hated cat, A white cat. We don't keep
any cats. Well, black cat it was, sir.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Can't say I've ever seen it before, but when I
was taking in his bunk of carrots, I always gives
him before I touched him in for the night. A
black cat goes out of nowhere and slips into the
store between the lakes. Well, sir, you know how the
Star is about cats. He started stamping and winning like
he was possessed. Hey, you to me, no, I'll we
(08:13):
get this cat out here before she's killed.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Oh, easy, star, You.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
See that cat came out of here like a bad out,
bell blazing like the devil himself.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And hell, hell, she's waked the star on the flag.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
She's drawn blood, easy boy, easy, Hey, Tommy, bring the ointment.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
The stars hurt?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Well, mister Holmes, did hunters down the scratch and tried
to quiet the horse, but Star was restless. Wrong about midnight,
theyd noticed his breathing was getting heavy and labored, and
he put up quite a sweat. They had rubbed him
down again, but he kept getting worse instead of better.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
So I went for the bit.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
He's a new man in the district and supposed to
know all is to know about animals, and I brought.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Him back with me. Ned looked like he'd seen a coached.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Ned. This is mister peoples new veterany sarcheon. He'll bring
this Star around for us. I'm afraid the stars past
helps her. I've never seen the lake just seemed to
collapse him from my eyes. His bets sort of sad,
and his niece gave way. Pretty soon. He couldn't stand
up no more. He's lying in there on the straw pretty.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
He had gone, dah, you better take mister Peebles right in.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Ned, yes, sir, this way, said, can't found it if
anything happens to that horse.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He was so fit this afternoon. Oh it's quiet around here.
If I could just hear the old boy breathing.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Three o'clock where these roes that blasted cat came from
brah rubbish. No one dies for can't scratch and then
the cats around him a year certainly on the black cats.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Well, mister Feebles, how is he?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
What's the verdict?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
I'm sorry, Colonel ross He's cancer died very quietly of
old age.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Say the bet pronounced Blazing Star dead of old age,
Colonel Rossa, that's impossible at homes to with this cup
is a race for five year old ex Actually.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Basing Star w five year old last month. Yet when
I when did.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
To look at his body, is it lay there in
this tall I'd have sworn he was the oldest horse
I'd ever seen.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Temples caved in, coat dry and grayish hip bones protruding.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You don't think anyone could have switched horses while dead
hunter came to inform you the horse was taken sick.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
No, mister Holmes, I know racing star anywhere. The star
on the forehead, he'd interrot it from his father.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
The white of four foot in a long scar has
left hide leg where he'd cut himself, and a bit
of wire.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Where As a two year ago that horse was star
full five years ago last month, he couldn't have died
of old age. Fantastic in the cabs, toys and quite
many people. Of course, will Propit by his death had
the bit of the strangers. In the neighborhood of King's Pilum.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
These last few weeks, Cone Rosser, there has been a
band of wandering Gypsies camping on the moors.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Of course, gypsies have many curious and little gnome poisons.
They'd be quite apt to keep a black cat.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Once more, and his claws had been dipped in some
obscure venom they.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Possibly Watson, possibly toy Culross.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
What's become of your erstwhile neighbor and rival, Lord Blackwater,
who owned the Britain stables Sat Braggar.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Haven't seen him since the Fair of silver Blace. He
was ruled off the turf off that town. Foster sell
his horses serves him jollywill ride. Maypleton has been unoccupied
until recently. Fart a month ago, I understand, was leased
to a professor in Egypt.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Just I believe these a recluse.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Spends most of his time in laboratory, fixed up for
himself in the old study. Mary Baxter, our maid sister
kings hous Fen, says to a queer sort of a
chap works behind locked doors all night and sleeps all day.
Unhealthy sort of life, Hey, homes, Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
There are several factors around King's Pylon that don't sound
healthy to me. Cone Once I suggest that Watson and
I take the morning train for Exeter to investigate the situation.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I hoped you'd say that, mister Holmes, I've told him
not to dispose of Star's body until you arrive.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Spending. I suppose you want me to take mere revolver, Hey, Holmes,
your revolver.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And that little black satul that contains your medical kit.
This sum as I'm very much mistaken as the kids
in which we should be prepared for anything. Well, Watson,
now that you've finished farough examination of the cadama, what's
your verdict?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
That was right? Hose? The horse obviously a holy But
I tell you that it's impossible racing Star was only
a little over five years old. Ned here will bear
me out.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
That's right, gentlemen, horse doesn't die of old eight and
five years.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Looks like Blazing Starring going to be the other one neither. Aw,
don't tell me another one of the horses has caught
the Meladay. It's not one of the horses. Sir, it's
the sheep. I noticed it when I went out to
the pedagraphter you left this morning, they stood there, all
addled together, shivering. Then gradually, all day long they kept
getting older and older. You could first see them do it.
(13:30):
Their eyes are roomy, and their voice is weak. And oh,
some of them can hardly keep on their feet, like
those sheep. We're young. Most of them are dropped in
this year's leaving season. What do you make of it,
Doctor Watson? Have you ever heard of old age being contagious?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There have been isolated cases, Colonel Ross, where young and
healthy individuals have developed a wasting way that Robert resembles
the appearance of age.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I hardly think it possible. Who's this running across the
moors in the sunset? Looks like a woman, a hair
flying loose, a shawl flapping in the wind. She's staggering
as if she would runk. It's Maddie, Colonel Ross. Her
that works over at Mapleton. She is not suffering from
the effects of alcohol. It's pipe that's upset her. It's sheer.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Terror comes cut Ross. Will you take me in this night?
I'm never going back. I'm never going back that again.
I knew he was even the minute dilaid eyes on
the man, and now I've seen him. The butcher hears.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Is of Google always Mattie.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
The Master him at least mapletons.
Speaker 12 (14:28):
It's so the house full of human statues, the lower
part man and the upper part beef.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Those would be the statues of the ancient Egyptian gods
Ra the hawk, and you miss the dog and bust
the cat against us.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
That's what he calls her, the blast that rides everywhere
with him on his shoulder.
Speaker 12 (14:43):
Sad eyes are alike him and the cats, both green,
and they both can look at you without even blinking.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Only his head moves through side to side while he
stays at you. I said, his head. It don't never
olds two. He's a ghoul, that's what it is. They've
been bringing him boxes for weeks now.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Six boxes, big like coffins a lot. He drives up
in the day of night, and they carry the.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Box into his study and he locks the door behind it.
The last anyone ever seen of them boxes or what's
in them.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Never seen them in traces when you go into Cleveland Study.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
I've never been allowed in.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
No one's ever been allowed in that study except the
man what brings the boxes, and then only for a
minute while he puts them down. Today the men come
with another big box. Only they brought it before it
was dark. The master fell in a rage when he
saw him bible.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
When they brought the box in and set it down
in the study. He was that worked up. There were
flex the foe on his lips.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You widiots, how often have I told you not to
come here by daylight? Our governor shurns your boat.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Down, and there's a store coming up, maybe partner of
the wrong way to drive back to Tome.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
We don't like them recurting the moors in the storm
at night. Oh you don't. Well, this is the last
time you need to come here. People who are for
me a pain in my orders, your pain get out.
You'll be going have a fear.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
He Oh, he's a terror with getting one of his rages.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Or you were here.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I I'm the housemaid.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I know what it is. He's gotten them boxes we
bring him.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Haven't a notion that room's always kept locked.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
He never so much as looks so killed. Oh, I'd
never do that. It's not right, maybe not, but I
better be interesting. Hey, come along theres wire we recording
the Moors. Heard at heart? All right?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Lit the lamp in there. It shows through the keyhole
he's taking the lid off the box. I can hear
the neighbors s creak. I would sort of like to
know what's in it. One peak wouldn't hurt. I guess, Hello, there's.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
Another box inside of the first one. It's got a
painted face and hands. Now he's taken that little too.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
There's something lying inside. It's got a face too and hands.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
All it's a woman, she said. It's a woman's body,
great Scott.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
A woman's body, then the man is a goal a
body natural worsh Unless I'm very much mistaken. He's much worse,
Colonel Ross. As for the body, I imagine it's been
dead a long long time.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yes, I think Watson and I will take a stroller
with a mapleton later this evening.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I like to take a look at the contents of
that box myself. What a knight to go talking about
the Moor's homes. I'm soaked to the skin.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yes, the equinoxial reign seemed to be especially biggous this year.
I want some big second hardly say good Lord, what
was that that time?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Agin?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Just a member of a feline or cat family? I
was half wildly homes. It's unusual for a cat to
be out in this weather. Seems to be getting closer.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Hangled the Latin of them.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yes, there it is in that treat left, good Lord.
His eyes shine like fire. Maybe she's caught up that
and can't get down here, pussy.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
What's the full of him looking into that cat?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Why not?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Because one scratch from her claws and you would decline
and die of old age.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
You, Professor Riarty, you.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Look surprised to see me. Doctor Watson. I heard you
were expected at King's Pilon Homes, And when that stupid
serving girl runs screaming out of my house this evening,
I rather expected it wouldn't be long before you came
over to Mapleton to pay your respects to the Princess
hut Shepherd, Princess Hardchepnut. So that's who you have in
your latest money case.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Mariotte.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Yes, in the most perfect state of preservation, but of absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
No use to me.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Unfortunately, why not if she was still slender when she died,
the artisans who in bound her didn't.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
Need to age the body to prepare it for burial.
Age to body. Have you ever seen a fat mummy,
doctor Watson.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Come to finger it? Conseer I have.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
In ancient Egypt, it took upward of seventy days to
prepare the body for mummy.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Rare gums, resins and.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
Spices were used, and if the deceased was fat, a
fluid was injected which aged and shrived the body after death.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And it's your fary of Doc Mariotte, that that same
fluid extracted from those mummies, would, if injected into human beings,
produce premature old.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Age and death.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
For so far, mister Holmes, I have only experimented with animals,
but I believe the process has been sufficiently perfected so
that I may now indulge in a few human experiments.
How fortunate that you and doctor Watson should have decided
to drop in this evening. Not so fast, doctor Watson,
(20:12):
my servant act Bar has had you covered for some time.
Is an expert shot. I promise you bluff, pure bluff
of your soul. At Bar is rather dark. He doesn't
show up very well at night. But to proof to
you he is present, I shall have him destroy the
cat up there what it.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's no trouble at all. We came out here for
that purpose.
Speaker 11 (20:33):
Unfortunately, yesterday I spilled some of the liquid I'm experimenting
with and the cat walked in it. It's no longer
safe to have it at Lubich. You saw the results
when she scratched Colonel Ross's horse last night.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You see, I.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
Don't want to kill people. I should be satisfied just
to make them senile. Don't excite yourself, doctor Watson at
bar the cat.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Such a geez. I was rather fond of the beasts.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Now, gentlemen, if you will accompany me.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
When you're in your favorite clothing store these wedter days
and hear someone say how do they do it? He's
probably trying on a clipper Craft suit or overcoat. Because
in this era of higher prices, it's really startling to
see so much truly fine quality in clothes for such
a modest amount. For Clippercraft suits are only forty and
forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats are only forty dollars,
(21:41):
and sport jackets are only twenty six fifty. The fabrics
are really long wearing, style and fit is super because
Clippercraft clothes are expertly designed. Now you may ask how
all this is possible. Well, the answer is ill manufacturing,
genius and a plan. Famas Clippercraft Plan concentrates the buying
(22:02):
power of two hundred thirty six of the nation's finest
stores from coast to coast. Thus you get the amazing
advantages of the group buying at your own local independent store,
at the store you can trust. Selling expensive clothes at
inexpensive prices at the nation's finest independent stores is the great,
(22:22):
big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's why men who
know insist on Clippercraft clothes. So be sure to visit
the clipper Craft store in your city.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
add their names to Clippercraft and your Suit, top code
and overcoat. In Manhattan, Sas thirty fourth Broadway at thirty
fourth John WANNAMECA Men's Stores Broadway at.

And in Jamaica, the B and B Clothes Shop one

Speaker 1 (23:03):
And now to return to doctor Watson and Sherlock Halls,
we find them in Moriarty's laboratory.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Sorry, I'm forced to have bar tie your hands to
the back of your chairs. Gentlemen at bar, if you
will remove doctor Watson's revolver from his right hand pocket,
that's it.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
No, no, no, you needn't take his satchel off his knees.
I know how lost a doctor feels without his little
black bag.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Very generous of you, Mariarty, not at all.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
That will be all Akbar. You may leave the room
and lock the door. And now for the lady hat
sheep nat. She's in the mummy chase here. I thought
you might enjoy the sight of a charming female while
I give you.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
The injection that will deprive you of your youth and vigor.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Now look sure you are Dodgerson.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
If by any chance, Professor Moriarty the mummy case in
which the and says ha chepknot was in Tombe, I believe.
Speaker 14 (24:02):
So she was removed from the tombs of the Royal
mummies at Dar el Pari by those famous grave robbers,
the brothers Abda Rasoul, whose exploits finally led the British
archeologist to the left bank of the Nile.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Opposite Konnek.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
What's how clever of you, mister Holmes, to be so
well informed on Egyptian mummies.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Holmes, no living or didn't you know?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
A Watson on the other hand, well, no, mental mastodon
has hidden possibilities that did you know, professor?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He once played Rugby or Blackheath fascinating I am.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I gather from the fact that the mummy case has
the hands carved in relief, that it dates from the
seventh theban dynastic.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
You are absolutely correct, mister Holmes. Weight I will raise
the lid and permit you to see the lady herself.
Good Lord, she looked as if she had died yesterday. Yes,
doctor Watson, the mummies of Memphis are black, dry and brittle,
but those of Thieves are yellowish, flexible and so how
(25:00):
elastic that the flesh yields to the touch and the
limbs may be moved so without breaking.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah it Sis Remuel, I should have liked to be
present when they discovered the tombor dadel behind.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Imagine, Watson, there were thirty six mummies and twenty of
them kings and queens.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Suppose we dispense with any further lectures on antiquity, Mister Holmes,
I think the substance I have here in this little
glass file may prove even more fascinating.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
This is the liquid I've.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
Distilled from five previous mummies, the ones who have been
shall we say, aged once all scratch with a pin
dipped in this fluid shulede. If my calculations are correct,
turn you both into old men. What would be the
object of that?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
He asked?
Speaker 11 (25:47):
The first place, it would render you no longer able
to interrupt my activities.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And in the second place, if my experiment is successful,
I flatter myself. I can change the course of history. Interesting.
Think what would happen if I were to make.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Certain mansenile the Kaiser, for instance, and that new American
president Roosevelt, mister Theodore Roosevelt. And as a man over
in France, Monsieur Cromon Saux, and the young man right
here in England his name is Winston Churchill.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
I think history might be quite different if he suddenly
became old and feeble minded. Let me see my tie
pin should do very nicely.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
There's a very interesting hypothesis, Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But that file is so small. I is that all
the fluid you have, which would suffice mister Holmes. I
should prick only the key man now, then I'll dip
in the pin so.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And Confindo, you've broken a fire and a bravo, Watson,
a perfectly plaised dropkick.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wondered a bit of the court you to use
your little back bag for a football.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Well it was an arrow squeak, doctor Watson, it was indeed,
mister Harrison. But even then you were still tired of
those chairs. Just how did you and Sherlock Holmes get
away from the professor? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
At that point, mister Harris, Colonel ross And and ned
Hunter broke in and rescued us. We left the Mother
Moore with instructions to come in and get us if
we didn't return in half an hour. Why did you
think Hose became so chatty about Egyptian history?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You don't mean he was stalling. What do you think,
mister Harris? What do you think? Well?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
What could I think? Doctor hellw Doctor Watson? How about
giving us a hit about next week's story?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yes, next week, I think I should tell in the
Case of the Lucky Shilly. In it, Holmes prevented the
death of a certain reckless nobleman and acquired the money
to pay for a much needed operation. It was done
with the not too honest racetrack device, which Hose called
the Trick of the Lucky Shitty.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The makers of Clippercraft Clothes and ten hundred and thirty
six leading stores from coast to coast have brought you
another in the new series of broadcasts featuring the world's
most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is produced and
directed by Basil Locren, with special music by Albert Berman.
(28:34):
If you don't know your clippercraft dealer, right Clippercraft, two
hundred Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
New York City.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Before listen next week to Sherlock Holmes in the Case
of the Lucky Shilling. If you'd like to attend to
Sherlock Holmes broadcasts in New York, see your local clippercraft dealer.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You'll tell you.
Speaker 15 (29:00):
I'll obtain your tickets mid.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Not first thirty. Not one to raise the place to
a part
From New York, the makers of flipper Craft clothes from Men,
and two hundred and thirty six leading retail stors from
coast to coast present the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
(00:35):
Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
dramatations are by Edith Miser.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, here we are, once again, settled comfortably in front
of doctor Watson's cheerful fireplace outside the winter, with whale's life. Well,
let's see, what does the wind sound like tonight, doctor Watson?
A last soul or a baffle vanshy?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
What we said, he, mister Harris, that wind sounds rather
like bast the ancient Egyptian cat goddess sometimes called u Bastists.
She howls, they say, if anyone understands the graves of
those who have consecrated themselves to her.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Oh, come now, doctor Watson, you don't believe that sort
of nonsense. You I'm not so sure, mister Harris. I'm
not so sure.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One fell and autumn night as Holmes and I crossed
the wind swept was that surround the King's Thailand? We
heard such a cry, a strange, harsh jutulation that struck
a chill to our marrow bones. And it's for good heavens,
there I go again, forgetting my manners.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
After all, you have something rather important to say, I believe,
mister Harrison. Well, I generally have doctor Watson. And speaking
of wind.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And chill, there's nothing like a clipper craft over good
to keep mouching on correct pity.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Holmes and I went wearing a kipper craft that night
of dark Moya. Now, doctors, this is my part of
the entertainment. Oh sorry, old men, pussy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Thank you. There are now ten hundred thirty six fine
stores across the nation that sell clippercraft clothes. Then a
tribute to the efficiency of the Clippercraft plan. And that's
a tribute also to the tremendous demand that an alert
American public is built for clippercraft. In the Clippercraft plan,
you see these ten hundred thirty six stores concentrate their
(02:25):
buying power, affecting tremendous savings the year round.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
In manufacturing and distribution, costs. These savings are all yours,
and it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mighty nice thing to be able to outfit yourself with
values so exceptional at your own local independence store where
you get real service and friendly personal tension. Clippercraft suits
are only forty and forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats
and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Only twenty six to fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Seeing is believing to convince yourself beyond the shadow of
a doubt. Simply compare clippercraft with clothes selling for many
dollars more And after return to that icy wind on
the Morris, Doc Watson.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
When, as a matter of fact, mister Harris, that's not
where this adventure had its inception. It was a brisk
all day rather early in the century. After could deal arguments.
I had persuaded Holmes to accompany me on a constitutional
through Kensington Gardens our listeners doubtless, No, Holmes was never
a man who took exercises if he could avoid it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Lethargic sorted fellow. He doctor Watts were necessarily needless to say.
When we returned to Baker.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Street somewhere around five I was the one who was
popping like a grampus, while Holmes downed up the steps
as easily as a greyhound. Were met at the front
door by Missus Hudson, the Shepherdine and general fact tutum
of our bachelor domain.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Ah, Missus Hudson, what's up?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
It's way past your tea time.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Mister Holmes, Oh the places with team Adam. Give us
an early supper.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
What's more, a gentleman was dear white It upstairs half
an hour he stamping up and down on my ceilings.
I thought the chandelier would come loose.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Sounds like a client day Watson. Well, we could do
with a case hose. The exchequer is getting a bit low.
Bother the exchequer. Oh he's sake, Oh, relaxed, we're home,
you know.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Instead, it'd be best if it's a case. See that
he pays. Looks like he had money.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes, yes, missus Hudson's correct. Darley visitor undoubtedly had money.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He got away. But what made you think the blighter
was acquent to? Can't you smell it? He smoked the
very best tobacco. The matter he came to consultants about
must have been earli he's left his pipe here on the.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Table, a nice brier with a longish stem of what
the tobacco is funding for amber. Yes, he must have
been thoroughly disturbed to leave behind a piping value so highly.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh boy dash, how can you possibly know how he
values his sick pie and the benry.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My dear Watson elementary. The pipe has been twice mended,
once in the wooden stand and once in the amber,
each time with a silver band costing more than the
pipe originally. What's more, he's been here before because, having
run out of his own mixture, he's helped himself to
a pipe for from the Persian slipper on the mantelpiece.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
No casuals Craine, you would know that's where I keep
my tobacco. But but here's a step up stairs. Come in,
Come in, confounded man. Why don't you stay at home?
Way of a long hose? It's colonel Rough. I'm viercely,
my dear Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Or bring our visitor a chair and a slight sedative,
some sort of Saint brandy and soda. I don't need
a brandy, Yes I do, confounded, a double brandy. But
don't tell me you've had another disaster on the boors
at King's Pyland.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Will you have that, mister Holmes. But this time is
not man that's been murdered. It's a horse worse, much worse.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Let me tell you there are many men equal of
Blazing Star.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Good Lord, Blazing Star. Isn't that your entry for the
Wessex Cup, Sir? It was dofter Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was ha Blazing Star. Watson was reading me an
item about it just the other day. I believe he's
the son of the famous Silver Blaze.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Out of lady luck.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You were able to rescue his side before me, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
He's time to in the Wessex Cup. What a race, that, Holmes.
But it's too late to do anything for poor Blazing Star.
By the rod, Harry, I mean to catch up with
the scum of the killer. And when I do, war
was contented. There's a special reservation in the last hell
for any man who miss tree.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Dnimiles quite but tell me exactly what happened at King's Pilon,
Colonel Ross, you.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Remember ned Hunter, mister Holmes. He was in charge of
the stable at the time Silver Blaze was adopted. Yes,
fine fellow, reliable and trustworthy.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
It's been promoted to the post of trainer since Uras
saw him, but he still sleeps in.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
The stable, doesn't does anyone else to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Blazing Star, like his sire of Forton, was the favorite
for the West Cup. I believe that's right, mister Holmes.
So Ned was being extra particular. None of those stable
boys were allowed to go near the horse. Ned groomed
and exercise him himself. No one else laid a hand
on the work. Can't take too many precautions with a winner, Holmes.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Donned rock Watson Well.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Yesterday afternoon I went down to the stables myself to
watch Blazing Star workouts.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Haha.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I wish you could have seen him.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The sunshine glint on his chestnut coat like a fiery streck.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
He was coming down the stretch. Never went better in
his life.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Well, I went into supper and cleared a place off
the mantel, the same place we kept the Whissex camp
when Silver Plays went it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of
the just. But along about two o'clock in the morning,
I was awakened by Ned Hunter. As I lift the lamp,
I could see.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
His face white as a sheet, and his hands shook
as though he had.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
The possy.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Day Dad, what's up?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
What's the matter? Man? It's the star, sir. He's took bad.
I better go for the vets. Good Lord, what happened?
He seemed in great shape this afternoon. I can't explain it, sir,
unless it was that cat upset him. You know how
he always hated cat, A white cat. We don't keep
any cats. Well, black cat it was, sir.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Can't say I've ever seen it before, but when I
was taking in his bunk of carrots, I always gives
him before I touched him in for the night. A
black cat goes out of nowhere and slips into the
store between the lakes. Well, sir, you know how the
Star is about cats. He started stamping and winning like
he was possessed. Hey, you to me, no, I'll we
(08:13):
get this cat out here before she's killed.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Oh, easy, star, You.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
See that cat came out of here like a bad out,
bell blazing like the devil himself.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And hell, hell, she's waked the star on the flag.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
She's drawn blood, easy boy, easy, Hey, Tommy, bring the ointment.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
The stars hurt?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Well, mister Holmes, did hunters down the scratch and tried
to quiet the horse, but Star was restless. Wrong about midnight,
theyd noticed his breathing was getting heavy and labored, and
he put up quite a sweat. They had rubbed him
down again, but he kept getting worse instead of better.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
So I went for the bit.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
He's a new man in the district and supposed to
know all is to know about animals, and I brought.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Him back with me. Ned looked like he'd seen a coached.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Ned. This is mister peoples new veterany sarcheon. He'll bring
this Star around for us. I'm afraid the stars past
helps her. I've never seen the lake just seemed to
collapse him from my eyes. His bets sort of sad,
and his niece gave way. Pretty soon. He couldn't stand
up no more. He's lying in there on the straw pretty.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
He had gone, dah, you better take mister Peebles right in.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Ned, yes, sir, this way, said, can't found it if
anything happens to that horse.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
He was so fit this afternoon. Oh it's quiet around here.
If I could just hear the old boy breathing.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Three o'clock where these roes that blasted cat came from
brah rubbish. No one dies for can't scratch and then
the cats around him a year certainly on the black cats.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Well, mister Feebles, how is he?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
What's the verdict?
Speaker 11 (10:17):
I'm sorry, Colonel ross He's cancer died very quietly of
old age.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Say the bet pronounced Blazing Star dead of old age,
Colonel Rossa, that's impossible at homes to with this cup
is a race for five year old ex Actually.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Basing Star w five year old last month. Yet when
I when did.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
To look at his body, is it lay there in
this tall I'd have sworn he was the oldest horse
I'd ever seen.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Temples caved in, coat dry and grayish hip bones protruding.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You don't think anyone could have switched horses while dead
hunter came to inform you the horse was taken sick.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
No, mister Holmes, I know racing star anywhere. The star
on the forehead, he'd interrot it from his father.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
The white of four foot in a long scar has
left hide leg where he'd cut himself, and a bit
of wire.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Where As a two year ago that horse was star
full five years ago last month, he couldn't have died
of old age. Fantastic in the cabs, toys and quite
many people. Of course, will Propit by his death had
the bit of the strangers. In the neighborhood of King's Pilum.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
These last few weeks, Cone Rosser, there has been a
band of wandering Gypsies camping on the moors.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Of course, gypsies have many curious and little gnome poisons.
They'd be quite apt to keep a black cat.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Once more, and his claws had been dipped in some
obscure venom they.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Possibly Watson, possibly toy Culross.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
What's become of your erstwhile neighbor and rival, Lord Blackwater,
who owned the Britain stables Sat Braggar.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Haven't seen him since the Fair of silver Blace. He
was ruled off the turf off that town. Foster sell
his horses serves him jollywill ride. Maypleton has been unoccupied
until recently. Fart a month ago, I understand, was leased
to a professor in Egypt.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Just I believe these a recluse.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Spends most of his time in laboratory, fixed up for
himself in the old study. Mary Baxter, our maid sister
kings hous Fen, says to a queer sort of a
chap works behind locked doors all night and sleeps all day.
Unhealthy sort of life, Hey, homes, Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
There are several factors around King's Pylon that don't sound
healthy to me. Cone Once I suggest that Watson and
I take the morning train for Exeter to investigate the situation.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I hoped you'd say that, mister Holmes, I've told him
not to dispose of Star's body until you arrive.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Spending. I suppose you want me to take mere revolver, Hey, Holmes,
your revolver.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And that little black satul that contains your medical kit.
This sum as I'm very much mistaken as the kids
in which we should be prepared for anything. Well, Watson,
now that you've finished farough examination of the cadama, what's
your verdict?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
That was right? Hose? The horse obviously a holy But
I tell you that it's impossible racing Star was only
a little over five years old. Ned here will bear
me out.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
That's right, gentlemen, horse doesn't die of old eight and
five years.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Looks like Blazing Starring going to be the other one neither. Aw,
don't tell me another one of the horses has caught
the Meladay. It's not one of the horses. Sir, it's
the sheep. I noticed it when I went out to
the pedagraphter you left this morning, they stood there, all
addled together, shivering. Then gradually, all day long they kept
getting older and older. You could first see them do it.
(13:30):
Their eyes are roomy, and their voice is weak. And oh,
some of them can hardly keep on their feet, like
those sheep. We're young. Most of them are dropped in
this year's leaving season. What do you make of it,
Doctor Watson? Have you ever heard of old age being contagious?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There have been isolated cases, Colonel Ross, where young and
healthy individuals have developed a wasting way that Robert resembles
the appearance of age.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I hardly think it possible. Who's this running across the
moors in the sunset? Looks like a woman, a hair
flying loose, a shawl flapping in the wind. She's staggering
as if she would runk. It's Maddie, Colonel Ross. Her
that works over at Mapleton. She is not suffering from
the effects of alcohol. It's pipe that's upset her. It's sheer.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Terror comes cut Ross. Will you take me in this night?
I'm never going back. I'm never going back that again.
I knew he was even the minute dilaid eyes on
the man, and now I've seen him. The butcher hears.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Is of Google always Mattie.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
The Master him at least mapletons.
Speaker 12 (14:28):
It's so the house full of human statues, the lower
part man and the upper part beef.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Those would be the statues of the ancient Egyptian gods
Ra the hawk, and you miss the dog and bust
the cat against us.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
That's what he calls her, the blast that rides everywhere
with him on his shoulder.
Speaker 12 (14:43):
Sad eyes are alike him and the cats, both green,
and they both can look at you without even blinking.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Only his head moves through side to side while he
stays at you. I said, his head. It don't never
olds two. He's a ghoul, that's what it is. They've
been bringing him boxes for weeks now.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Six boxes, big like coffins a lot. He drives up
in the day of night, and they carry the.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Box into his study and he locks the door behind it.
The last anyone ever seen of them boxes or what's
in them.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Never seen them in traces when you go into Cleveland Study.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
I've never been allowed in.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
No one's ever been allowed in that study except the
man what brings the boxes, and then only for a
minute while he puts them down. Today the men come
with another big box. Only they brought it before it
was dark. The master fell in a rage when he
saw him bible.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
When they brought the box in and set it down
in the study. He was that worked up. There were
flex the foe on his lips.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You widiots, how often have I told you not to
come here by daylight? Our governor shurns your boat.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Down, and there's a store coming up, maybe partner of
the wrong way to drive back to Tome.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
We don't like them recurting the moors in the storm
at night. Oh you don't. Well, this is the last
time you need to come here. People who are for
me a pain in my orders, your pain get out.
You'll be going have a fear.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
He Oh, he's a terror with getting one of his rages.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Or you were here.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I I'm the housemaid.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I know what it is. He's gotten them boxes we
bring him.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Haven't a notion that room's always kept locked.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
He never so much as looks so killed. Oh, I'd
never do that. It's not right, maybe not, but I
better be interesting. Hey, come along theres wire we recording
the Moors. Heard at heart? All right?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Lit the lamp in there. It shows through the keyhole
he's taking the lid off the box. I can hear
the neighbors s creak. I would sort of like to
know what's in it. One peak wouldn't hurt. I guess, Hello, there's.
Speaker 12 (17:02):
Another box inside of the first one. It's got a
painted face and hands. Now he's taken that little too.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
There's something lying inside. It's got a face too and hands.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
All it's a woman, she said. It's a woman's body,
great Scott.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
A woman's body, then the man is a goal a
body natural worsh Unless I'm very much mistaken. He's much worse,
Colonel Ross. As for the body, I imagine it's been
dead a long long time.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yes, I think Watson and I will take a stroller
with a mapleton later this evening.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
I like to take a look at the contents of
that box myself. What a knight to go talking about
the Moor's homes. I'm soaked to the skin.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yes, the equinoxial reign seemed to be especially biggous this year.
I want some big second hardly say good Lord, what
was that that time?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Agin?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Just a member of a feline or cat family? I
was half wildly homes. It's unusual for a cat to
be out in this weather. Seems to be getting closer.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Hangled the Latin of them.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yes, there it is in that treat left, good Lord.
His eyes shine like fire. Maybe she's caught up that
and can't get down here, pussy.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
What's the full of him looking into that cat?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Why not?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Because one scratch from her claws and you would decline
and die of old age.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
You, Professor Riarty, you.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Look surprised to see me. Doctor Watson. I heard you
were expected at King's Pilon Homes, And when that stupid
serving girl runs screaming out of my house this evening,
I rather expected it wouldn't be long before you came
over to Mapleton to pay your respects to the Princess
hut Shepherd, Princess Hardchepnut. So that's who you have in
your latest money case.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Mariotte.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Yes, in the most perfect state of preservation, but of absolutely.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
No use to me.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Unfortunately, why not if she was still slender when she died,
the artisans who in bound her didn't.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
Need to age the body to prepare it for burial.
Age to body. Have you ever seen a fat mummy,
doctor Watson.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Come to finger it? Conseer I have.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
In ancient Egypt, it took upward of seventy days to
prepare the body for mummy.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Rare gums, resins and.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
Spices were used, and if the deceased was fat, a
fluid was injected which aged and shrived the body after death.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And it's your fary of Doc Mariotte, that that same
fluid extracted from those mummies, would, if injected into human beings,
produce premature old.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Age and death.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
For so far, mister Holmes, I have only experimented with animals,
but I believe the process has been sufficiently perfected so
that I may now indulge in a few human experiments.
How fortunate that you and doctor Watson should have decided
to drop in this evening. Not so fast, doctor Watson,
(20:12):
my servant act Bar has had you covered for some time.
Is an expert shot. I promise you bluff, pure bluff
of your soul. At Bar is rather dark. He doesn't
show up very well at night. But to proof to
you he is present, I shall have him destroy the
cat up there what it.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
It's no trouble at all. We came out here for
that purpose.
Speaker 11 (20:33):
Unfortunately, yesterday I spilled some of the liquid I'm experimenting
with and the cat walked in it. It's no longer
safe to have it at Lubich. You saw the results
when she scratched Colonel Ross's horse last night.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You see, I.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
Don't want to kill people. I should be satisfied just
to make them senile. Don't excite yourself, doctor Watson at
bar the cat.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Such a geez. I was rather fond of the beasts.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Now, gentlemen, if you will accompany me.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
When you're in your favorite clothing store these wedter days
and hear someone say how do they do it? He's
probably trying on a clipper Craft suit or overcoat. Because
in this era of higher prices, it's really startling to
see so much truly fine quality in clothes for such
a modest amount. For Clippercraft suits are only forty and
forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats are only forty dollars,
(21:41):
and sport jackets are only twenty six fifty. The fabrics
are really long wearing, style and fit is super because
Clippercraft clothes are expertly designed. Now you may ask how
all this is possible. Well, the answer is ill manufacturing,
genius and a plan. Famas Clippercraft Plan concentrates the buying
(22:02):
power of two hundred thirty six of the nation's finest
stores from coast to coast. Thus you get the amazing
advantages of the group buying at your own local independent store,
at the store you can trust. Selling expensive clothes at
inexpensive prices at the nation's finest independent stores is the great,
(22:22):
big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's why men who
know insist on Clippercraft clothes. So be sure to visit
the clipper Craft store in your city.
Speaker 13 (22:33):
These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
add their names to Clippercraft and your Suit, top code
and overcoat. In Manhattan, Sas thirty fourth Broadway at thirty
fourth John WANNAMECA Men's Stores Broadway at.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Eighth and sixty.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
Seven Liberty Street in Brooklyn, Abraham and Strauss in Newark.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
New Jersey Boulevard Men's Shop Cresby Newarck.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
And in Jamaica, the B and B Clothes Shop one
sixty four oh eight Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And now to return to doctor Watson and Sherlock Halls,
we find them in Moriarty's laboratory.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Sorry, I'm forced to have bar tie your hands to
the back of your chairs. Gentlemen at bar, if you
will remove doctor Watson's revolver from his right hand pocket,
that's it.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
No, no, no, you needn't take his satchel off his knees.
I know how lost a doctor feels without his little
black bag.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Very generous of you, Mariarty, not at all.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
That will be all Akbar. You may leave the room
and lock the door. And now for the lady hat
sheep nat. She's in the mummy chase here. I thought
you might enjoy the sight of a charming female while
I give you.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
The injection that will deprive you of your youth and vigor.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Now look sure you are Dodgerson.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
If by any chance, Professor Moriarty the mummy case in
which the and says ha chepknot was in Tombe, I believe.
Speaker 14 (24:02):
So she was removed from the tombs of the Royal
mummies at Dar el Pari by those famous grave robbers,
the brothers Abda Rasoul, whose exploits finally led the British
archeologist to the left bank of the Nile.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Opposite Konnek.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
What's how clever of you, mister Holmes, to be so
well informed on Egyptian mummies.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Holmes, no living or didn't you know?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
A Watson on the other hand, well, no, mental mastodon
has hidden possibilities that did you know, professor?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
He once played Rugby or Blackheath fascinating I am.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I gather from the fact that the mummy case has
the hands carved in relief, that it dates from the
seventh theban dynastic.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
You are absolutely correct, mister Holmes. Weight I will raise
the lid and permit you to see the lady herself.
Good Lord, she looked as if she had died yesterday. Yes,
doctor Watson, the mummies of Memphis are black, dry and brittle,
but those of Thieves are yellowish, flexible and so how
(25:00):
elastic that the flesh yields to the touch and the
limbs may be moved so without breaking.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah it Sis Remuel, I should have liked to be
present when they discovered the tombor dadel behind.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Imagine, Watson, there were thirty six mummies and twenty of
them kings and queens.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
Suppose we dispense with any further lectures on antiquity, Mister Holmes,
I think the substance I have here in this little
glass file may prove even more fascinating.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
This is the liquid I've.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
Distilled from five previous mummies, the ones who have been
shall we say, aged once all scratch with a pin
dipped in this fluid shulede. If my calculations are correct,
turn you both into old men. What would be the
object of that?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
He asked?
Speaker 11 (25:47):
The first place, it would render you no longer able
to interrupt my activities.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And in the second place, if my experiment is successful,
I flatter myself. I can change the course of history. Interesting.
Think what would happen if I were to make.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Certain mansenile the Kaiser, for instance, and that new American
president Roosevelt, mister Theodore Roosevelt. And as a man over
in France, Monsieur Cromon Saux, and the young man right
here in England his name is Winston Churchill.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
I think history might be quite different if he suddenly
became old and feeble minded. Let me see my tie
pin should do very nicely.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
There's a very interesting hypothesis, Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But that file is so small. I is that all
the fluid you have, which would suffice mister Holmes. I
should prick only the key man now, then I'll dip
in the pin so.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And Confindo, you've broken a fire and a bravo, Watson,
a perfectly plaised dropkick.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wondered a bit of the court you to use
your little back bag for a football.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Well it was an arrow squeak, doctor Watson, it was indeed,
mister Harrison. But even then you were still tired of
those chairs. Just how did you and Sherlock Holmes get
away from the professor? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
At that point, mister Harris, Colonel ross And and ned
Hunter broke in and rescued us. We left the Mother
Moore with instructions to come in and get us if
we didn't return in half an hour. Why did you
think Hose became so chatty about Egyptian history?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You don't mean he was stalling. What do you think,
mister Harris? What do you think? Well?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
What could I think? Doctor hellw Doctor Watson? How about
giving us a hit about next week's story?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yes, next week, I think I should tell in the
Case of the Lucky Shilly. In it, Holmes prevented the
death of a certain reckless nobleman and acquired the money
to pay for a much needed operation. It was done
with the not too honest racetrack device, which Hose called
the Trick of the Lucky Shitty.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The makers of Clippercraft Clothes and ten hundred and thirty
six leading stores from coast to coast have brought you
another in the new series of broadcasts featuring the world's
most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is produced and
directed by Basil Locren, with special music by Albert Berman.

Speaker 1 (28:43):

Speaker 4 (29:14):

a part
