Sherlock Holmes Radio The Great Gandolfo Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Tom Conway · Meine Liebe zu Hörspielen

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now let's visit with our good friend, doctor Watson.
• 0:02
  I'm always expecting.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Us good evening, mister Bartel Amy.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Doctor, oh you have the old black ten dispatch box
• 0:12
  out again.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, my boy, I've just been refreshing my memory on
• 0:15
  one or two points in connections tonight story. Draw a perchair.
• 0:19
  Thanks the tobacco's and the jar beside you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks doctor. You know I'm particularly excited about hearing your
• 0:27
  story tonight. Last week you told us that Sherlock holmes
• 0:30
  brother Microft Holmes.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Took part in the advantage.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: That's quite right, mister bartell.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know mister Holmes had a brother. I
• 0:37
  wish you'd tell me something about it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Well, Microft was seven years older than Charlotte, but the
• 0:41
  difference between them was amazing. While Holmes was lean and
• 0:44
  consumed with a burning energy, his elder brother was fat
• 0:48
  and lazy. And yet Holmes has often told me that
• 0:52
  Microft was his superior in passive observation and deduction.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Well, now that you've thoroughly whited my appetite, doctor, how's
• 0:59
  about it?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Very well, my boy, I suppose this story really began
• 1:03
  in Microft Holmes's room at the Foreign Office in London.
• 1:07
  Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did
• 1:10
  hold a position of considerable importance. In fact, you may
• 1:13
  remember that on more than one occasion Holmes has said
• 1:16
  Micraft is the British government. But do get back to
• 1:20
  my story. So on a June morning in nineteen hundred
• 1:24
  and twelve, just for the First World War, but the
• 1:26
  young man in the Foreign Office named Guy Travers stood
• 1:29
  talking to Microft Holmes, who sat sprawled in an armchair
• 1:33
  before him, his feet resting on another chair, his cupped
• 1:37
  hands cradling his ample scup.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, I say, mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep,
• 1:44
  have you, sir?
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: No, travelers, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you
• 1:47
  to get to the point.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track
• 1:50
  of a most elusive female spy. Dear me, how exhausting.
• 1:54
  She's dangerous, sir, very dangerous. She's not only a collective
• 1:57
  of information, but a sort of central clearinghouse of military seak.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: It's as well you seem to be a little young, Travis,
• 2:02
  to be on such a case.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I asked for the assignment, sir.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Why female spies aren't as glamorous as they sound.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: You know, no one knows that better than I do, sir.
• 2:10
  You see, my brother got mixed up with this girl
• 2:12
  two years ago who was cashier from his regiment and
• 2:15
  committed suicide.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Travis.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Tell me what you found out about her. You say
• 2:20
  you've beat on her track.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I have traced her to a number of seaside towns,
• 2:23
  but she keeps slipping through my fingers.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Have you a list of the towns?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, here you are no, no, no, you read
• 2:29
  them to me.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I first got on a track at Torquay. From there
• 2:33
  I trailed a Weymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Wagner, Worthing Hove, Brighton,
• 2:36
  and I.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Trust you drew the obvious.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Conclusion I think I did, sir. Several of those towns
• 2:41
  are naval basis.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, The list you just read me is
• 2:45
  a recognized theatrical circuit.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, I never thought of that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: The simplest way to track down your spy is to
• 2:51
  find whether she was appearing in either a play or
• 2:53
  variety act in all of the towns on the dates
• 2:56
  covered by your inquiries.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, I'll do that at once and then
• 2:59
  I'll report back to you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Oh very well, if you must close the door quietly.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Won't you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: I'm confoundedly sleepy, mister Holmes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you?
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: Sir?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Oh it's you, travelers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Well, how did you find out.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: A great deal? Sir? The only theatrical show that was
• 3:25
  appearing at all of those towns was a magician's act
• 3:27
  called the Great Gandolpho.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I trust you went and saw the performance.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, last night at Hastings, and the magician's assistant
• 3:34
  was a girl who looked exactly like the one I
• 3:36
  saw my brother with two years ago.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Did you go backstage and talk to her?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. But it's a funny thing. For though she
• 3:42
  looked exactly like the other girl, I swear she's in
• 3:45
  the same one. This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere
• 3:48
  when she told me she had never heard of my brother.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: That's the danger of putting you, young fellows on.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: A case of this kind.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: A beautiful woman and a good actress can fool you
• 3:56
  nine times out of ten.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: What's your next move, travelers.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Well, sir, I was hoping preps. Perhaps you might come
• 4:02
  down with me and see the act it's playing at
• 4:04
  Eastbourne tomorrow. It's not very faster, stir.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: My twenty stone, leave the comforts of my office and
• 4:10
  club to track a spy. No, my boy, However, your
• 4:14
  mention of Eastbourne gives me an idea. Yes, sir, my
• 4:17
  young brother Sherlock is living on a bee farm a
• 4:20
  few miles outside Eastbourne.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: He might help you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: He's a great detective, isn't he, Sir?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I have never regarded him as one, though I will
• 4:27
  admit that for a man with such a shocking excess
• 4:29
  of physical energy, he possesses a relatively superior mind.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, go and ask Sherlock thank you, sir.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: I will tell him that if he can't solve the case,
• 4:39
  I'll do it for him.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: And without leaving London. And so, mister Holmes, I did
• 4:52
  at your brother suggested, and came down here to Eastbourne
• 4:54
  to tell you about the King.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I quite understand, mister Travels the interesting story it is too,
• 4:58
  my boy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I'm certainly glad sad that I happen to be staying
• 5:01
  down here with your homes. You will handle the case, of.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Course, I'm undecided, old fellow. The problem presents some interesting
• 5:07
  possibilities and get my life here among the bees has
• 5:10
  taken on a pleasant and soothing pattern. Oh I hate
• 5:13
  this step.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Come, come, come, homes. It would be good for you
• 5:16
  to get away from your wretched bees for a few days.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I forgot to tell you, mister Holmes, as I left
• 5:21
  your brother he told me that if you couldn't solve
• 5:23
  the case, he'd do it for you without leaving.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: London, Dear Old Micraft. He meant that as a challenge.
• 5:29
  Hand me the paper, will you, Watson? Thanks, o' chap.
• 5:34
  What are you looking for, amusing guide? Ah? Here it
• 5:37
  is Devonshire Theater, Eastbawn, twice nightive variety is six thirty
• 5:42
  and nine The Great Gandolfo, King of Magic.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: You mean you'll come to the theater with me tonight,
• 5:46
  mister Holmes.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Certainly I can't allow my Craft's challenge to go unanswered.
• 5:50
  And I'm sure that doctor Watson will accompany us when
• 5:52
  I tell him. Miss Sissy Gitana is also appearing on
• 5:56
  the bill, singing an old favorite of his. There was
• 6:01
  I a white tin at the church, White tin at
• 6:04
  the church, Oh white at the church.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Lord, that we did all certain me all at once.
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: He sent me round the note. Here's a very note.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: If this is what he wrote, we can't get away
• 6:21
  to marry you today.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: My one wrote land.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: That's the most entertaining woman, Fritzy Gaitana, and that's good
• 6:37
  looking too.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: The greats next mister Howes.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm just studying the program.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Haha.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: He's not exactly modest in his claims. Is he the
• 6:48
  great Gandolfo the world staggering illusionist presenting the Ceiling Cabinet Mystery,
• 6:53
  assisted by miss Floren Lassur Dear me, I'm very florid.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I must say I love this old music hall flavor.
• 7:04
  I remember going to the palace here a few years ago,
• 7:06
  and she a perfectly charming girl who wore a white dress.
• 7:09
  Made it look like a little white rabbit. That dress
• 7:12
  did look rightly becoming. I must say I sent my
• 7:15
  card around the stage door with some flowers, of course, but.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: My maid's messa, sorry, old fellow that I'm afraid you
• 7:19
  will have to finish. The later is going out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: There, he is. That's the great end offer by Joe.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: This assistants very attractive, isn't you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Listen, ladies and gentlemen.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: It gives me great pleasure to be here before you tonight.
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: I may say that the sailing cabinet mystery that I
• 7:39
  am about to present has entertained and perplexed half a
• 7:43
  dozen of the crowned kings of Europe together with their queen.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Come, don't talk the much, get on with the check,
• 7:51
  and I.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: May say, and I'm hoping that you ladies and gentlemen
• 7:54
  will give me the same courtesy and attention that was
• 7:57
  given me by the royalty I have just mentioned. Now,
• 8:01
  before I present my illusion, I should like to ask
• 8:04
  for two volunteers from the audience who will come over.
• 8:07
  Here has tightly on the stage, so that I may
• 8:09
  be watching two volunteers.

• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You mean that we're going up on the stage.

• 8:19
  Speaker 10: Do I see two gentlemen rising splendid, Two gentlemen are
• 8:24
  coming up from the audience, Two gentlemen that I have
• 8:27
  never seen before. Watch the step please, that's it, over
• 8:31
  the footlights and on to the stage.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: And now, sir, have you ever seen me before?
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: Never?
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: And you, sir, don't be afraid to speak up, sir, I,
• 8:46
  Miss Less, please see that the gentlemen are seated. I
• 8:49
  think now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to watch
• 8:53
  me closely.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: You will observe that there is a wooden cabinet on
• 8:56
  the stage.
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: There is also another cabinet of the same shape size
• 9:00
  hanging high above me, which you can pull.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: All see a glass of water, please, mister Sewer, I'll
• 9:07

  Speaker 10: Now, my assistant, Miss Florine Lesur will step into this

  cabinet on the stage. I want you two gentlemen to

  watch very closely. Miss the Sewer is now lying inside.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: The cabinet, is she not?
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Yes, very well. I close the lid, so I lock
• 9:38
  it with these bombs. And now I ask.

• 9:47

  Speaker 10: Yeah, if you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we

  Speaker 3: Thank you, lad.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Why did we have to leave home having a one
• 11:14
  who does?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Sorry to beg you allway about some of this work
• 11:16
  to be done.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, if you want to go backstage, I'll introduce
• 11:19
  you to miss La sir.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, before we do that, mister Travis, there's one important
• 11:22
  fact I want to know. What is it?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Sir?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I presume you have a dossier of the available facts
• 11:26
  concerning the spy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, everything that we've been able to find out.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Among the evidence. Do you buy any chance have any
• 11:32
  finer print records?
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I do spend it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Then let's go it once to the nearest police station
• 11:36
  and compare the finer prints on this glass with those
• 11:39
  in your possession.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Where did you get that glass home?
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: You remember that miss La Seur before she entered that
• 11:43
  cabinet on the stage handed gandal for a glass of water.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You mean that for glass?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Why else should I be carrying a drinking glass with me?
• 11:49
  Old Chappin.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Very neat, mister Holmes, and right under the nose of
• 11:52
  a magician too.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not exactly inept at the practice of a
• 11:55
  leisure domain myself, mister Travers. Will come on, let's have
• 11:58
  a talk with that local finger and expert job, mister Holmes.
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: A fingerprints on this glass you brought me are not
• 12:13
  the same as the one.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Shown in this record?
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeare positive?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, sir, Just as I thought. I'm much obliged to you.
• 12:19
  Always glad to have a gentleman like you, mister Jane,
• 12:21
  Thank you and good night. Come on, Travers Watson.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: We should explain what you're up to home, So do.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I, sir. I'm completely in the dark.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Surely it's obvious. The only way Gandalfo's pick could be
• 12:32
  done is by using twin girls dressed identically, of course,
• 12:36
  one in the cabinet on the stage and the other
• 12:38
  in the cabinet hanging from the ceiling. I don't know
• 12:40
  whether you've noticed it, Watson, that there were some small
• 12:43
  holes drilled around the base of the box, undoubtedly to
• 12:46
  enable its occupant to breathe by George.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Of course, that would explain why the girl I spoke
• 12:51
  to didn't seem to know me or my brother when
• 12:53
  I spoke of.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Him exactly, And in any case, how bad I could
• 12:57
  a spy hide herself from a role where her employer,
• 13:00
  a magician, must, by the very nature of her trick
• 13:02
  and deny her existence. The question is which girl is
• 13:06
  the spy? This fingerprint test has given us the answer.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You mean, it isn't the girl on the stage, the
• 13:11
  one who assisted Gandalfo.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: It certainly is not all for your spy will be
• 13:15
  in the cabinet, suspend it high above the stage of
• 13:17
  the Defenshure Theater at nine o'clock this evening, But this
• 13:19
  time we will watch the performance from the audience.
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: Now watch me closely, ladies and gentlemen, there is no
• 13:36
  deception one A two.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: A three.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: And now if.
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: You two gentlemen will currently help me, we will untie
• 13:46
  the ropes and lower the sailing cabinet to the stage.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Homes. We must never get away.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, old jab to keep your eyes skined. You
• 13:55
  may have a surprise for us.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: Will now ask one of you, too, gentlemen, to unbolt
• 14:03
  the cabinet.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I thank you, sir.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: And now if this.
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: Gentleman will take the key and unlock the padlock, I
• 14:11
  thank you, sir. And now if you will both raise
• 14:16
  the lid of the cabinet, I thank you. And he here,
• 14:21
  ladies and gentlemen, is miss Florine Lassur.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: Mister Sawer.
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Step out, please, mister Sawer, drink the come on.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Watching, Just get up on.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: The stage right your home.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: What happens?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: It's mister La Sawer. She's been injured.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I'm a doctor.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Let me look at her.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid she's beyond the health of doctors. Watson. Look
• 14:50
  at that bullet wound in my head. She has been murdered.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of Dr Watson's story in just
• 15:03
  a few seconds. So I'm just gonna make a very
• 15:05
  quick suggestion. If you like good food, who doesn't, you'll
• 15:10
  find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by
• 15:12
  a good glass of Petree wine. And Petrie makes wonderful
• 15:16
  meal time wines. If you like a red wine, you know,
• 15:19
  to go with any meat or meat dish, you really
• 15:21
  like Petrie California Burgundy. And if you prefer a white
• 15:25
  wine to go with chicken or fish, you couldn't ask
• 15:27
  for a better one than Petrie California So Turned. Remember
• 15:31
  those two wines, huh, Petri Burgundy and Petree So Turned.
• 15:35
  They're Petrie wines, so you know they're good. And now
• 15:47
  back to Doctor Watson and tonight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure,
• 15:50
  The Great Gundolpho.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: What happened next? Doctor?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You just got to the part where you and Sherlock Holmes,
• 15:56
  on the stage of a vaudeville theater were examining the
• 15:59
  dead body of one of the Great Gandolfo's assistant boy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: As you can imagine, the excitement was intense. The local
• 16:05
  police was soon at the theater, and the obstinate charge
• 16:08
  of certain Sergeant Buff Can you take a very great
• 16:11
  personal dislike to show up home.
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: The great Sherlock Holmes comes out of retirement to teach
• 16:18
  our police for us how to handle.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: The case such Buffia being ridiculous. I'm not trying to
• 16:22
  teach the police anything. You follow your own line of investigation,
• 16:25
  and I'll follow mine.
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: And supposing I say I don't want private detectives poke
• 16:29
  on their nose into a.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Police and lesident, then my good man, I shall report
• 16:32
  your conduct to the local chief of police and obtain
• 16:35
  the necessary permissioner.
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: No need to get up with you about it, mister Owenes.
• 16:38
  But too many cooks spoil lebros.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: You know of an extremely profound remark, Sergeant, And now,
• 16:43
  if you'll excuse me, I've work.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: To do, and so have I and we'll see who
• 16:46
  gets to the bottom of this. First, I'm going to
• 16:48
  condolve those lesson room homes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I'm worried about the dead girl's trinsister be looking for everywhere.
• 16:53
  No one seems to see her since the tragedy.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: My dear Chap, you would hardly expect her to reveal
• 16:58
  the secret of the cabinet tricked my expose the fact
• 17:00
  that the dead girl had a twin.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I never thought of that, but he saw there on
• 17:05
  the stage when the trick started. Seems to me that
• 17:08
  she's in great danger.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: She is in very great danger. Don't worry. I had
• 17:13
  taken the precaution of having her guarded. Oh, I'll explain
• 17:15
  that to you later. In the meantime, we have to
• 17:17
  work class. It appears that Sergeant buff is out to
• 17:19
  try and show me up by solving the case first.
• 17:22
  That makes the second challenge I perceived today. Well, mister Arms,
• 17:37
  and how are you getting the last brended?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: With?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Thanks? Don't you beaten? I don't mind admitting it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: I thought at first the one man it couldn't be
• 17:44
  was Gondalful because he was on the stage all the time.
• 17:47
  But then it seemed to me that he might have
• 17:49
  fired a live bullet when he shot at the box.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: On the ceiling.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The angle from the stage wouldn't turn side of the
• 17:54
  bullet hole in the bottom of the box. Sergeant, that
• 17:56
  shot must have been fired from the audience below.
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: Mister Elms, you know who did it, don't you?
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, Sergeant I do. I wish you'd tell me, mister Olmes,
• 18:06
  it should be obvious. Sergeant, what's the new examine the corps?
• 18:09
  Please tell the sergeant, you're finding some.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Girls lying on her back in the box. There was
• 18:13
  a small hole in the forehead and a large one
• 18:14
  in the nape.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Of her neck, exactly. And since the point of entrance
• 18:18
  of a bullet is smaller than the point of exit,
• 18:21
  it proves that you must have been shot lying in
• 18:23
  the box from above. Once the box was in position
• 18:26
  over the audience. She could have been shot only from below. Therefore,
• 18:31
  the girl had already been killed when the box was
• 18:33
  hoisted to the ceiling. Jew.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, and only one person could have.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Done that, only two. How do you figure that out?
• 18:40
  Mister Arms, The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity
• 18:42
  as the Great Gandolfo himself, of course he had.
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: Now I see why you were having or watched, mister Elmes.
• 18:48
  If you'll excuse me saying so, sir, and begin to
• 18:51
  think it's a good thing you're on this case after Oh.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: That's very generous of you, sergeant. And now perhaps if
• 18:56
  you will do me the favor of keeping an eye
• 18:58
  on mister Gandolpho yourself, of course I will, sir. Where
• 19:01
  are we going home to the Jolly Fisherman Hotel to
• 19:03
  call on miss Lassur how do you know she's there?
• 19:05
  I just received a message from young Travers. He followed
• 19:08
  her on my instructions as she left the theater. Come on,
• 19:10
  old Chap, there's no time to be lost. Ah, there
• 19:23
  are tralors. Missus Lasur is still here, I trust.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, he's up in her room.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I wonder if you'd mind asking her to come down
• 19:29
  and see me. I'm sure that we can talk privately
• 19:31
  in the lounge over there.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Right you are, mister Holmes, I'll go and get her.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: What are you going to say to mister sir Holmes?
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: That depends on her attitude, Old Chap, come on, let's
• 19:39
  go into the lounge. Joy the lucky thing that you
• 19:42
  had her followed. It was an obvious precaution, Watson news here.
• 19:45
  I realized from the very nature of the cabinet trick
• 19:47
  that miss las Cur would have to leave the theater
• 19:50
  after escaping through the trap door below the cabinet that
• 19:53
  was on the stage before her twin sister descended from
• 19:56
  the cabinet that was suspended from the ceiling.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: And she doesn't older sister has been murdered.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Huh. If she is innocent, she doesn't. And if she
• 20:04
  is innocent, then we'll know that our murderer is gamdalfol
• 20:08
  it comes.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I've told mister Saw that you want to talk to
• 20:11
  her privately, mister Helms.
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: If it's the act you want to talk about, mister Olmes,
• 20:14
  I've nothing to say.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: Magicians have a code of honor.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I quite appreciate that fact, Miss Ler sir,
• 20:19
  won't you sit down?
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: What do you want with me?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I have news for you, news of your twin sister.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: Mike, I haven't got a twin sister.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: My friend knows exactly how the cabinet trick is done.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: My dear young Linyth, Yes, you might as well tell
• 20:32
  the truth, missles sir.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: Well, all right then, so I have a twin sister.
• 20:36
  What of it? No crime in that?
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Is there?
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: What you're getting at?
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I want you to believe that I'm here to help you.
• 20:41
  My dear, you are going to need help and courage.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: What are you getting at?
• 20:47
  Speaker 12: Come on?
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Tell me? I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
• 20:51
  Miss Lassur your sister is dead dead huh.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: I don't believe it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid it's true. She was murdered.
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: You're lying. This is a trick you're trying to make
• 21:04
  me give myself away.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to give it the truth. Your sister was
• 21:07
  found shot through the head when the cabinet was lowered
• 21:10
  to the stage to night.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I still don't believe it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Why should my friend lie to you?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: How was your sister the last time you saw her
• 21:17
  for the convincement of the act?
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: No different from any other time?
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Was responsible for superintending her entry into the cabinet, Gandolpho
• 21:25
  or me?
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: She used to go into it before the performance, when
• 21:27
  the stage was dark and deserted.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Did you help her enter the box to night?
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: No, Gandolpho.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Did you knew, of course, of your sister's activities. How
• 21:37
  do you mean that she was engaged in espionage?
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: That's not true.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Very well, mister san If you won't be honest with me,
• 21:44
  I'm afraid I'll have to tell you whever to the police.
• 21:46
  I think you'll find their methods are a little more
• 21:48
  crude than mine.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: All the police.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: Oh no, don't do do that, mister rolmes All. I
• 21:55
  got to tell you everything.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: Gandolphe's got me so frightened of him.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: I was lying to you. I knew that my sister
• 22:01
  was working for him.
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: I tried to stop her, but she loved money, and
• 22:05
  Gandolpho gave up plenty of that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: They had a row before the show tonight. She knew
• 22:10
  you were on the stage at the first performance, mister Holmes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: Gandolfhold spotted you too because she was frightened, said she
• 22:15
  knew you'd catch and she.
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: Wanted to run away.
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: Dandolphod told her that she had to appear tonight, and
• 22:20
  they were still arguing about when they left the dressing room.
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: The dirty swine killed her because he was afraid.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You give him away now you till Rachel.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: My dear, the great Gundalfo will be beyond the help
• 22:30
  of magic before this night, desire.

• 23:03
  I'm really a bee farmer, you know. In any case,
• 23:05
  I want to restore your faith in private detectives. The

• 23:46
  chair in London. Listen to this. Have just checked on
