  Speaker 1: that today just because a lot of people may skip
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the Sunday special immediately, so we'll talk about a lot
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of that on Monday. I will say with our Patreon campaign,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: our most immediate goal is to reach that eight hundred
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: dollars a month level. When we reach that, we'll up
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Radar Server, which is going to be important because starting
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: next month we'll be bringing you not one, but two
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: video theater episodes, an episode of Dragnet and an episode
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of something else. And of course next week Tuesday through Thursday,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about programs that will be
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: coming to you in the new season, and we have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: some that people have been requesting for a long time
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we're finally gonna get to. But now we turn to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: today's program featuring mister Orson welles in probably one of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: our first hour length episodes, The Immortal Sherlock Holmes, which
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: aired over the Mercury Radio Theater, and this is based
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: on the work of William Gillette, who is so often
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: lost in our discussion of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: as Orsonwell describes, Gillette was the playwright charged with adapting
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes to the stage by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and many of the things he wrote, particularly the elementary
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: My Dear Watson, became just as standard and just as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: key to the way that the character was viewed and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: portrayed as what was in the Arthur Conan Doyle stories.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And he even was the first actor to play Homes
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: over the radio. The most of that broadcast has been
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: lost at any rate. Orson Welles took up to bring
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one of Gillette's stage plays to the radio for the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Mercury Radio Theater. The original air date was September the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth of nineteen thirty eight, and the title is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: The Immortal Sherlock.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Holmes Bacor on the Air.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: A Columbia Broadcasting System takes pleasure in bringing you the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: twelfth in a series of weekly broadcasts featuring Austin Wells
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and the Mercury Theater on the air. Tonight, Broadways and
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Radio's most celebrated Piaco Producing Company brings to life the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: best loved character in.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Detective fiction, The Immortal Sherlock Holmes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: The play is Austenwald's own adaptation for radio of William
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Juneton during melodrama, based on the famous stories by s
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Arthur Conan Doyle.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Before the performance begins.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Here is a director of the Mercury Theater, the star
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and producer of these unique broadcasts.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Orson Welles good evening, Well tonight, it's back to Baker Street,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: back to that unlikely London of the nineteenth century, where
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: high adventure waits solo would seek it in a handsome
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: cab or under a gas lamp in an inverness keep.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: But tonight we paid tribute to the most wonderful member
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that most wonderful world, a gentleman.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Who never lived and who will never die.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: There are only a few of them, these permanent profiles,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: everlasting silhouettes, on the.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Edge of the world.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: There is first the little hunchback with.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: A slapstick, whose hooked nose is shaped like his cap.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: There is now and always will be the penguin footed
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: hobo in the derby, and the baggy pants, and the
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: small boy with a wooden head, and the long, rusty
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: knight on horseback, and the fat knight who could only procure.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: A charge on foot.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: There is also the tall gentleman with a hawk's face,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: and the underslung pipe, the fore and aft cap. We'd
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: know them anywhere and call them easily by name. Punch
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: and the Charlie's Chaplin and McCarthy, Keelty, Sir John and
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Sherlock Holmb's.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Now irrelevant as this may seem, we.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Of the Mercury Theater are very much occupied these days
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: with rehearsals for a revival of a fine old American
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: farce a lot of you will remember, if only for
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: its lovely title, which is too much Johnson. Its author
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: was William Gillette, which reminded us as it reminds you
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: of Sherlock Holmes. As everybody knows, that celebrated American inventor
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: of under acting lent his considerable gifts as a playwright
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: to the indestructible legend of the Conan Doyle Detective and
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: produced the play which is as much a part of
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: the Holmes literature as any of Sir Arthur's own romances.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And as nobody will ever forget, he gave his face
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: to him.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: For William Gillette was the aquiline and actual embodiment of
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Holmes himself. It is too little to say that William
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Gillette resembled Sherlock holmbs. Sherlock Holmes looks exactly like William Gillette,
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: sounds like him too.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Were afraid and hope.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Devoutly that the mercury, theater and the radio will take
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: none of the glamour from the beloved fable of Baker Street,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: from the pipe and the violin, and the hideous purple
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: dressing gown, from the needle, and the cigar on the window, ledge,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: and the dry final famous lines elimentary, My dear Watson,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: elementary the mere child's play of deduction.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: My name is Watson. I am a doctor.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: It was near eighteen eighty that Holmes and I were
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: introduced by our mutual acquaintance. At the time, we were
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: both looking for a lodging that would suit our moderate means.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: This we found on the second floor of a house
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: at two thirty one B Baker Street. And it was
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: during the years that we occupied these chambers together that
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Holmes established his unique international reputation as a consulting detective.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: During that time I was privileged to be his daily companions,
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: and I.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Have done my modest share in giving to the world
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and account of some of his most famous cases.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Most famous of these are the ones of which I
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: have written under the names of the specled band sign
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: of four.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Hound of the Baskervilles and the studying scarlet.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: They represent, However, only a minute fraction of the six
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: hundred and forty three cases Holmes successfully solved during the
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: years that we shared the lodgings in Baker Street. Other
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: cases I hope one day to give to the world
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: include the Tarlatan murders, the sudden death of Cardinal Tuscan,
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: the adventure of Ricolette of the club Foot and his
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: abominable wife, the case of Missus Farintoge, the Circus Bell,
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: and the case of the Royal.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Family of Scandinavia.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: Each illustrate in their own way the remarkable genius of
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: my friend Sherlock Holmes. Since my marriage three years ago,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Holmes has continued to occupy the Baiger Street lodgings by.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Himself, but here almost every afternoon, when.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: My work in the office is finished, I am in
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: the habit of calling on him.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: The sitting room as you go in is exactly as
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: it has been for the past thirteen years. The worm
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: bearskin rugs, the huge sofa covered with faded chintz, the
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: mantelpiece cuttered with miscellaneous objects, unanswered letters, and piles of
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: loose tobacco.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: On one side of the fireplace.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: In a deep arm chair, his pipe curling forth slow
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: wreaths of aquid tobacco, draped in his hideous purple dressing gowns,
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: said Sherlock Holmes, with his vile limb under his chin.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: What, my default, are you home? I'm delighted to see you,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: perfect lighted upon my word.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I am.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Observe that your wife has left, she has gone on
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: a visit.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But how did you know?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: How did I when I like that? How do I
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: know anything?
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: How do I know?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: You've been getting yourself very wet lately?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: That you an extremely careless serven girl, and you moved
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: your dressing table to go outside.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: The room holds if you had lived a few centuries ago,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: that have burned you alive. Such your confregation would have
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: saved me a great deal of trouble and expended on me. Now,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: how did you know?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: All that?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Too simple to talk about?
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Scratches and clumsy cuts, My dear fell on the other
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: side of your shoe there, just where.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: The firelight strikes it. Scratches cuts.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Somebody scraped the way crusted mutton did it badly, badly,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: scraped the shoe along with it as your wet foot,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: My dear Watson and you're careless, serven girl, all on one.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Shoe, face badly shaved the right side, always used to
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: be on the left.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Light must come to the other side. Couldn't very well
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: move your window, must move the dressing table.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: Of course.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: But how the deuce did you know my wife was away?
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Why the deuce is your second Westcot button?
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: Was?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: What the deuce is yesterday's button? Here doing in today's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: the pearl?
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: And why the deuced you were the expression of a
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: moth of the elementary matter for elementary the child player
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: of deduction. I'm only doing it for your amusement before
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: we pass on to more serious matters, or what is it?
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: Novel?
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Once in, my dear fellow, an enthusiasm which is prompted
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: du to chronicle, And if you will excuse my saying
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: so somewhat to embellish my little adventures, you occasionally seem
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: fit to introduce a certain element of romance which struck
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: me as being just a trifle out of place, something
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: like working in elopement into the fifth proposition of euclid.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I merely refer to this in case you should see
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: fit at some future time to chronicle the case on
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: which I am about to embark the strange case of
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Professor Robert Moriarty.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Moriarty, I don't remember ever having heard of the fellow. No,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: what's and you haven't. There's precisely this quality.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Of invisibility that makes of Professor Moriarty the Napoleon of crime,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: sitting motionless like an ugly, venomous spider in the center
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: of his web. But that web having a thousand radiations,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: and the spider knowing every quiver.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Of every one of them.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: And within forty eight hours I'll have the line has
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: drawn so tightly around him that he can't move, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: arrest him in his entire gang dangerous.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: My dear Fellah's perfectly delightful.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: My whole life is spent in a series of frantic
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: endeavors to escape from the dreary commonplaces of.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Existence for a brief period.
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: I escape.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: You congratulate me. The day before yesterday I received.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: In this room the visit of a certain foreign nobleman,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: was recently inherited a very considerable title, and who was
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: about to be married. Seems that this title gentleman was
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: so indiscreet as to fall in love with a young
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: English lady by the name of Faulkner socially his inferior,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: and to make her a promise of marriage. Later, at
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: his family's insistence, the things broken off, and the young
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: lady died shortly after a broken heart, leaving behind a sister,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: also considerable evidence in the form of letters, photographs, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: jewelry with inscriptions.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: These the sister kept. These, together with the sister, are
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: now being held in a house in Saint John's.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Wood by a pair of black manes hell Us who
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: go with the name of Chetwood. So far as you've seen,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: my dear, what's in a fairly ordinary case of blackmail?
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Hard it worth my attention? Last night on my inspection
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: a certain element revealed itself, which renders the case far
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: more important than I had expected. And that element was
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Professor Moriarte.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Come in by the name of Foreman.
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: Yes, mister.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Greening, Foreman. What's the misinspector Foreman did before yesterday? He
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: occupies the position.

  Speaker 5: Of butler under the name of Judson, in the home
• 13:39

  Speaker 12: They took this man Bassick into the library. I gotta

  Speaker 12: look at him from the outside, and there he was
• 14:06
  Speaker 12: opening up the safe where they've been keeping a letter.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Go on in the end.
• 14:09
  Speaker 12: When they got the safe open, it was empty. The
• 14:12
  Speaker 12: letter's be gone. That seems like the fork. No girl
• 14:14

• 14:18

  Speaker 4: drawing room.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, when I knock over a chair in the drawing room,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: you will overturn a lamp in the kitchen, scatter smoke balls,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: and give an alarm of fire.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: All other instructions remain unchanged. Any good sir, hurry foreman.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a home.

• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I beg your pardon, mister Holmes, but it's quite useless.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Really, Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: Yes, miss Faulkner, is I regret to say quite an
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: INFI she is unable to see anyone her health is
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: so poor.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Has it ever occurred to you, mister Chedword, that she
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: might be confined to the house too much?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: How does that concern you?
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: Ye?
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Doesn't simply make the suggestion. I might like to think
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: it over. It's you about his name, Judson? Though very well, Judson,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: go on, take my card up, very good? This is
• 16:15

• 16:32
  Speaker 8: manner in which you gain information from the most trifling details.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Now I dare say, in this brief moment or two,
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: you've discovered any number of things about me, nothing.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Of consequence, Miss Chadwan, I hardly more than ask myself
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: why he was so distressed to see me at this
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: particular moment, And what there can possibly be about the
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: safe in the lower part of that desk to cause
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: you such painful anxiety.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Very good, very good.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Indeed, if those things were only true now, I'd be
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: wonderfully impressed. It would be absolutely able me. Judson, a
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: message for you, mister, you'll excuse me. I trust it's

  Speaker 8: Miss Faulkner to come down to the drawing room, say
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: that mister Holmes is waiting to see her.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Quite remarkable upon my soul.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: May I ask, if it's not an impertinent question, what
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: message you sent up that could so have aroused Miss
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: Faulkner's desire to come down nearly?
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Is that she wasn't down here in five minutes I'd
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: go up.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: And unless I'm great mistaken, I hear the young lady
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: on the stairs, which case she has a minute and
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: a half de spare.

  Speaker 4: I thank you very much, indeed for concerning to see me,
• 18:02

  Speaker 5: trouble of making such a very rapid change of dress.
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: Yes, I did harry a trifle.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I can say.
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: Mister Holmes is quite living after his reputation, isn't He said,

  Speaker 2: pell I'm quite sure it was Ronnville.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: Well, I tell you it did not bring your butler?
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Is right, mister Chatworthy? Bell did ring? Or do you know?
• 18:34

  Speaker 4: I said, the real Miss Faulkner. Judson, Yes, sir, Oh
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: what right have you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: To ring for servants and give orders in my house?
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: What right have you to prevent my cards from reaching
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: their destination? How does it happen that you and this
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: woman are resorting to trickery and deceit to prevent me
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: from seeing Alice Faulkner through some trifling oversight? Judson, neither
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: of the cards I handed to him has been delivered.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Kindly see that this error does not occur again.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: My orders, you have orders. I can't say you were
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: told not to deliver my card?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: What business is it of yours?
• 19:13
  Speaker 15: I'd like to know.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I shall satisfy your curiosity on that point in a
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: very short time, mister Chetwood.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Yes, And you'll find out in a very short time
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: that it isn't safe to meddle with me. It wouldn't
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: be any trouble at all for me to throw you
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: out into the.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Street, and possibly enough that trouble would swiftly follow such
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: an experiment on yours.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That's a lucky thing for you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not armed. Yes, well, miss Faukner comes down, you
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: go and arm yourself.
• 19:35

• 19:39
  Speaker 4: remain where you are till the lady I came here
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: to see his enter this room. What makes you so
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: sure of that? Because you would prefer to avoid.

  Speaker 5: An investigation of your suspicious conduct. Mister James lerab that
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: is the name under which you are known to Scotland Yard.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I believe mister Chetwood, this lady, here's your wife, Steve Judson.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: You will either deliver that card Miss Faukner at once
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: or sleep in the police tonight.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: That's a more consequence to me WHI should do.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Take up a card. It makes no difference to me.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: A short time since Verabille, you displayed an acute anxiety
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: to leave the room. Pray, do not let me detain
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: you or your wife any longer. Take you to prefer
• 20:18

  Speaker 4: of a man's fingers? Does that mean nothing? Also?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Because to me that I should like to have an
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: explanation of this. Possibly you can furnish one, mister Larabi.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: It seems to have occurred in your own house.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: You's better understand that it doesn't help me for you
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: or anyone else to interfere with my business.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: That is your business. Here's that much. At least, pray
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: be seated. I don't know who you are, mister Holmes,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: why you were here?
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: I shall be very glad indeed to explain my business
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: is this I've been consulted as the possibility of obtaining
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: from you certain letters addressed to your sister, which is
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: supposed to be in your position.
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: I cannot give up my sister's home.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: There are other things revenge believe there is good night,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: But my dearness, oh, I'm so sorry. How clumsy is
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: me to turn over this chair.
• 21:42
  Speaker 15: The kitchen, it's cut off, the table and everything down
• 21:44
  Speaker 15: that blazing.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Don't allow yourself as funer. There is no fire. The
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: smoke was all arranged for her.
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: Arranged.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: What does it mean, mister home business?
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Means that I wanted a packet of letters, Miss Fokker,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: that by following your eyes just now when you thought
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: there was a fire, I discovered that you had hidden
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: them in the upholstery of this chair, quite elementary as
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: you see. And now that they are in my possession,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: there seems to be no reason.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: For me to remain any longer in this house. Good Night,
• 22:21

  Speaker 5: possibly change your mind and let me have them of
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: your own free will.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I dispose you could. I will therefore return them to
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: you and er Oh as our friends the ladder. They're
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: returning from the fire.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Now, I suppose we're going to you walk out of
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a house.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: On the contrary, you're going to see me return them
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to their rightful owner. Mispatner. Here are your letters?
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Should you ever change your mind and be so generous
• 23:08

• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the one who wrote them.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: You have my address.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Any event, rest assured there will be no more cruelty

  Speaker 5: that your faintest cry of distress will be heard.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: If that cry is.

  Speaker 5: Heard, it will be very unfortunate for those who are responsible.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: As for you, mister Larabie, and you, Madame, I beg you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: To understand that you continue your persecution of that young

  Speaker 2: Here, it's nice, good evening at.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: The home, Ah, mister Larabey. Already I certainly thought, after
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: all this driving about the cross cab, you threw me
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: something new, seen it before you miss the home? What
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: a time or two? How they come to think of it?
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: And iabbed a friend of yours in this place while
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: he was trying to drop himself out of the window.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: He had Calvi and the cracksman where you certainly never
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: heard of him? After? Sure, then race of Caniff has
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: used these luxurious chambers and spring of eighty nine, one
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: of them hitting that cupboard. We put him out of
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: the heels. Quite interesting.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: But times have changed since then, so they have.
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: But then it was only cracksman counted his pickpockets and
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: petty swinders, verious kind.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: But no, no, well, between you.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: And me, mister Lallabey, we've heard some not altogether agreeable rumors,
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: rumors of some Brittish shady work that's far from here,
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: murder to a very peculiar kind. I've always had a suspicion.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: That's it. My surmise was correct. It is this is
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: what this room is caught sealed.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: What does that fight us.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Nothing to us, mister Larabey, nothing to us, but it.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: Might signify a good deal to some poor devil who's
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: been caught and guessed in this trap.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: If it's nothing to us, suppose we leave it alone
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: and get the business. My time is limiting.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: Of course, I should have realized that these reflections could
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: not possibly have appeal to you.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Well, is the garment ms?
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Thanks, good regard? Is mister Larabet genuine hana you like it?
• 46:45
  Speaker 10: No?
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: It is the little packet of letters which is the
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: object of this meeting. I haven't opened it yet, but
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: Miss Faulkner tells me everything is there.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: I suppose, mister Larraby, that is Miss Faultner knows nothing
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: about this affair.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: We omit her name from the discussion. What do you mean?
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Who told you she doesn't know?
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: You did?
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Every look, tone, gesture, everything you've said and done since
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: I've been in this room is informed that Miss Warkner
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: has never consented to this transaction. It is a little
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: speculation of your own. Oh, I suppose you think you
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: can read me like a poh no, no, like a timmer. Well,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: let it pass. How much will you give one thousand pounds?
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I couldn't take it. What do you ask five thousand?
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: I couldn't give it?
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I've been offered four.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Thousand, little Why didn't you take it?
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Because I intended to get more?
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Oh that's too bad.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: They offered four thousands. They will give five.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: They won't give anything?
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: They've turned the case over to me.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Will you give three pounds?
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: Mister Larabis? Strange as it may.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Appear, my time is limited as well as yours. I
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: have brought with me the sum of one thousand pounds,
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: which is all that I wish to pay. If it's
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: your desire to sell at this figure, kind of surppraise
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: me the fact at once.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: If not met me to wish you a very good evening,
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: well you can have.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: It's a small amounts to haggle over. Give me the money.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I thought you said you'd only brought just a thousand.
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: I did this?
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: You brought a fly for more?
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: Quite so? Didn't say I hadn't brought anymore.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: You can do your little fix when it comes to it,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: can't you.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: It depends on who I'm dealing with.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: You give me that money, come on hand it over.

  Speaker 10: I've got you.
• 48:13

  Speaker 4: But this little slip will get you in for robbery.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: What are your views about being able to get away

  Speaker 2: from here, your son?
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I do not anticipate any particular difficult robbery. Eh.

  Speaker 5: you he's.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: Come, sir? Well, the house across the street. He was
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: in there watching these windows.

  Speaker 14: He must have seen something, but he'd just come out.
• 55:05
  Speaker 14: There was a cab waiting in front of this house, sir,
• 55:07
  Speaker 14: and he's climbed up and changed places with the driver.

  Speaker 4: Get out again, quick, Billy, and keep your eye on him. Yes,

• 55:29
  Speaker 4: wanted to camp the doctor a short time ago. It's
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: been waiting, I believe. I think it has been so
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: good as to tell the driver to come in here
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: and get a release. He comes. Tell him that's the one, right,
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: dear Watson. It sounds like these You should tell you
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: a man never to take the first cab that comes
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: on Core, nor yet the second. The third may be safe.
• 55:51
  Speaker 16: But hold why.
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: This bag?
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: I want take him down? All right?

  Speaker 5: Goodbye Watson by Watson, O fellow, Wait a minute, driver

  Speaker 5: pretty heavy.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: I have a friend. Let me help you, the Watson.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: I'll write you from Budapest. But here driver might not
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: be straps of any well, that's right, I hold the driver.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: You pull the strap. Two little things in this bag
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: that I wouldn't like to lose.
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: And it's just as well to make quite sure, is
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: it not, Professor Moriarty, by means of a simple pair
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: of handcuffs.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: This is the end I ventured the dream that it
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: might be. You're quite sure the police will be able
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: to hold me, Professor Moriarty, I'm quite sure of nothing.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: Take him away from them.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: And so my dear Watson ends the strange case of
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: Miss Alice Faukner. What all the letters? They will return
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: to their rightful owner over an hour ago. I suspected
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: from the start that Miss Faulkner was really a nice girl.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: At huh, yeah, what is it? I was just reflecting
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: my idea, Watson. With Moriarty out of the way, London.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: From the point of view of the criminal expert, it's
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: likely to become a singularly uninteresting city. One morning paper
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: of veritable willed Innes subordom.
• 57:40
  Speaker 14: Been waiting for an hour, says she's got to see yourself,
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: Keith and Murder.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: She says she's from.
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: Which I deduced that she is a lady of over
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: forty one and less than forty five, of a strange,
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: dark beauty and considerable social eminence.
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: That she has lived for some years in the Near East.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: That she's now wearing a large blood ruby on the
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: second thing of her left hand.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Holmes, how do you know these things?
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: It's amazing?
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: Elementary and Ida Watson elementary the Child's play of Deduction.

  Speaker 19: to the great Detectives of Old Time Radio with Adam
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 19: Graham and now let's get back into the show.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. There's so much to love about this production.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: I particularly loved Orson Wells absolutely stirring introduction to the piece.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: He had such a way where he could be so
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: very eloquent, and the writing of these introductions just absolutely impeccable,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: and I like how they blended in elements of so
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: many different stories into this episode, and so William Julie
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: took so many ideas about homes from things like the
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: scandal in Bohemia and the Final Problem, and really this
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: is a potent combination for a pretty entertaining hour of radio.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: If there was one thing that was lost, I understand
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: why this didn't end with Holmes over the rock and
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Bock falls, but the way Moriarty was captured didn't necessarily
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: scream this is the great arch villain. But at any rate,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: still a very good performance and a very nice play,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: and the first of three that we're going to bring
