Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, how about the adventure of the genuine Guineria.
0:04
Speaker 2: Well, the British Ambassador of France and Human Assay and
0:07
invited Holmes and myself to a reception at the Embassy
0:10
in Palace in order to thank us both successfully concluding
0:14
the rather delicate affair of mister Edwards. The ball was
0:18
a blaze of light. A guest the dancing by Joe Holmes.
0:25
You ever seen anyone more attractive than our host's wife,
0:29
I must say? The lady asked, says, well, it's a
0:30
final sight of English students sometimes once in I ended
0:34
with directness of your mind? What do you mean when
0:37
you look at a beautiful woman you will see only beauty?
0:40
What on earth would you expect me to say? In
0:42
the case of Lady Ashley, my dear fellow, I notice
0:45
her elderly husband, her many the lamps, admirers, and I
0:48
think what a motive for murder? Oh really, Homes, I talked,
1:00
our guests of honor is enjoying himself very much. Indeed,
1:03
Lady Ahlen and mister Holmes. Dr Watson, may I introduce
1:07
a very dear friend, Monsieur Jacques Merryville, who has known
1:11
me more years than I can't remember.
1:14
Speaker 3: Yes, I think I.
1:15
Speaker 2: Can claim to be Lady Ashley's most devotic cavalier, having
1:19
first made her acquaintance when she was just over two
1:21
hours old. He wept bitterly the moment she show It's
1:25
what I've been trying to make up to him for
1:27
I've ever seen. During the time we're in Paris, mister Mediical,
1:30
I've been promising myself the pleasure the visit to your
1:33
famous music shock issued the honor Missie Hows. I've heard,
1:36
of course, that you play the violin merely as the
1:39
verious cemeter. Incidantly, I'm looking forward equally to hearing Monsieur
1:43
Drinkle play this evening Lady. Actually, I was unfortunately out
1:46
of London during the only recital he gave this season.
1:49
He's a great artist. Wes just come from one of
1:53
those little countries down the right hand corner of the map,
1:55
and I've always heard the follow bit of the bumber.
1:58
You will have an opportunity to judge at once. Watson,
2:01
our hostess approaching with a gentleman in question in tow
2:05
so you are deter Drenko has been asking to meet you,
2:08
Dear Rnker mister Holmes, docter on you, but if you'll
2:13
excuse me, I must see you our other gifts until
2:16
later comes doctor and doctor Watson, and I are looking
2:21
forward to hearing you playing, mister Drenko, I always enjoy
2:24
an appreciative audience. Tell me, mister Holmes, might I speak
2:29
to you alone for a moment. Come along, mataver you
2:32
promise me your opinion on that eighty three campaign. No,
2:35
it's a sum business. But well, mister Dancine, I said alone,
2:40
mister Holmes, I have no secrets from doctor Watson. Very well. Well,
2:44
it so happens that I find myself in a slight
2:48
to predictament. I thought that the all your experience, you
2:52
might advise me as a social favor. Mister Drencone Brandy,
2:57
if of course, you would like to come to see
2:59
at my hotel tomorrow and bring your violin to entertain
3:02
my guest, I thank your partner. Oh I understand, mister Holmes.
3:10
We professionals must each respect the other. Smiths, he investrator.
3:14
It would be preferable, so I told you what sort
3:17
of hell you were. Nevertheless, mister Holmes, I still ask
3:19
for your advice, and I will expect to tell the
3:22
customer fee. You see, I find myself a trifle involved
3:27
to only a harmless lolirtation, of course, but I did
3:30
write one or two in the street letters to one
3:32
of the girls at Maxims, and now the greedy little
3:36
thing threatens blackmail. Hardly an unusual situation, as you think
3:39
of for myself or my reputation. I do not care,
3:42
you understand. An artist is an artist. But there is
3:46
my wife the home. I must think of her naturally.
3:49
If you've heard travel lay, don't you man? So you
3:51
can see that there might be unpleasant results, if foodful.
3:55
But to Bruto of Maxims, you know we're not an
3:59
acquainted young person home from my rather brief acquaintance with her,
4:03
I think the matter made a settled rather simply. Ah well,
4:07
I should be happiest. Who will have the affair? Ladies
4:10
and gentlemen, may I have your attentions? Please the dear drender.
4:15
We're all very happy to welcome here this evening. You will
4:17
now give us the pleasure of his incomfortable music. You
4:34
are gentlemen of the said right here, Oh fad, I say,
4:41
oh you guys, that girl were just fast. So I'm
4:43
wearing just those little thing quite. I also noticed, Watson,
4:47
that backstage at Maxim seems to be one place where
4:50
you not only see, but also observe very closely. Oh,
4:58
I know, we know, good is.
5:01
Speaker 4: I have not expected to see you in that cute
5:03
sits is doctor Watson again so soon?
5:07
Speaker 2: But for at this time it is pleasure, not disneys
5:13
through rule. It was only because I thought the gentleman
5:16
we have agreed to refer to as mister Edwards was
5:18
at least as comfortable as you, that I persuaded the
5:21
French police not to prosecute you in that matter of
5:23
his mother's jewels. No, but with your homes that it
5:26
can't matter.
5:27
Speaker 4: We have settled it, have we none?
5:29
Speaker 2: The charge is still offending, mademoiselle, and that a word
5:32
from me could be followed up. Why should you? I
5:34
also happen to know that the mass Soviet Embassy is
5:37
most curious regarding the attraction which brings Prince Dannilo so
5:40
frequently to Paris. That also does not concern me at
5:43
the moment, assuming, of course, that you will return at
5:46
once all the letters that were written to you by
5:48
as your drinko, and that you cease from molesting him anymore.
5:52
Oh yeah, I see, well, is mit your homes? Since
5:56
you have putty to convencing me, I am rather tired
6:00
of listening to hisself when he played violin. Mister Drancon,
6:04
may have you let us back? Heah, thank you, mademoiselle,
6:08
I knew you were a sensible girl. Good night, and
6:16
now was annow for a good night's rest. And in
6:19
the morning we can report to mister Drinko the satisfactor
6:21
resolution of what was perhaps our sympest. But if you
6:24
charge him and set free homes, I still say that
6:26
that follows a bounder. Good morning. I think this said
6:44
Drinker is expecting us, mister Holmes and doctor Watson. What's
6:47
the number of his room? Please send the message to
6:50
the police. Oh missus, who's mister medical? What's the matter? Drinkle?
6:54
We run awow to see him? They killed himself? What
6:56
good have some miracle? Check us up to his.
6:58
Speaker 5: Room and the man's been dead for more than half
7:11
an hour?
7:13
Speaker 2: Past to an hour, sir, I see merivale. Would you
7:17
please ask that chap we passed the one who was
7:19
painting the hall to step in here for a moment.
7:21
But it's good curious, I wonder what could have been
7:25
Branco's motive in committing suicide. Here is a pensive A yes,
7:30
tell me have you been working there all morning? M
7:33
hm oh blow sue since a uk for over two hours?
7:38
In other words, and were you working constantly in sight
7:41
of this door?
7:41
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
7:43
Speaker 2: Mercieu.
7:44
Speaker 4: I heard the entryman in the air practicing the violin
7:47
foy while he stopped almost than hour.
7:50
Speaker 2: What's the time is as just about what I thought?
7:53
And you saw no one enter or leave this room
7:55
during the entire time?
7:56
Speaker 4: No one, oh, except five minutes ago. This gentleman went
8:01
into the room a few seconds later came running out,
8:05
calling both police.
8:07
Speaker 2: Thank you. Your statement has been very clear. You may
8:10
go now, but better not leave a hotel. No doubt
8:12
the police will want to question you. Yeah, they have
8:17
never add a shock in my life. Was at Holmes.
8:19
I came up to deliver a new violin the drink
8:21
or hit ordered and when I opened the floor and
8:24
show him lying there with his fixel twisted it up
8:26
in Yes, the common appearance of cyanide poisoning not very pretty,
8:31
unadmit you will note the characteristic odor of bitter almonds
8:34
wants to list indeed, and here's the empty bottle. Quite
8:37
the poison label on it removes any possibility of accidents.
8:40
Nobody could post have got out for the window to
8:42
share a drop of four stories the street. Look at
8:45
your homes. This stone piece of paper I found it
8:48
here at the desk. It's your suicide notice, evidently written
8:52
under the stress of considerable emotion. To judge from the writing, hmm,
8:56
it is intolerable. I utterly refuse to durre it any longer.
9:01
Signed behind drink It's is I'm writing, mister Hones, I
9:05
swear to it. Yes, unquestionably the perfect setting for suicide,
9:10
no doubt about it.
9:12
Speaker 4: Ah, where miss, pleasure to meet you again, even under
9:16
such an unfortunate circumstances.
9:18
Speaker 2: How are you inspected to see you again, my dear fellow,
9:20
than you do? Answer Watson, And I've been carrying on
9:22
for you until your arrival.
9:23
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you?
9:24
Speaker 2: And may I eat your brains to ask what reveler
9:30
Marigo here discovered the body only a few minutes ago
9:32
when he arrived to deliver violin. Drinker had ordered the painter,
9:36
you'll find out in the hall has had the room
9:38
under observation all morning, and will assure you that no
9:41
one else entered or left. It fellows up per you
9:43
well now before set the time of death pretty accurately.
9:47
Here's his suicide notes. Inspector in the praiser con said,
9:50
you would rather an open and shut table alway, dotty?
9:53
What's in a hard working office? Select make sense?
9:55
Speaker 4: Weakens yet sense of any mistake.
9:58
Speaker 2: Here's a volume the drink I was practicing on. Let
10:01
me see it. Watsn't odd, very odd? Indeed, you mean odd.
10:10
Speaker 4: That a drinko should be practicing the violine and you'll
10:13
just avoid it.
10:13
Speaker 2: He says, no, Inspector, that fact by itself would merely
10:16
bit singular. But listen to the violin on which he
10:19
was practicing. It sounds all rud to me.
10:25
Speaker 4: I confess that I find no mystery a man playing
10:28
is violine?
10:29
Speaker 2: Just avoid? If he says, perhaps, Inspector, you may then
10:32
be able to explain why a world famous violinist like
10:35
Drenko should do his practicing on a violin that is
10:38
most unmistakably out of tune. How should I know what
10:41
the man would do? Just this void I means to
10:43
be size suicide. This isn't suicide, Inspector. This is murder men.
11:03
Speaker 1: Once you get bald, there's nothing you can do about it.
11:06
Science tells us it's impossible to grow hair on bald heads.
11:10
Speaker 2: But you can make the most.
11:12
Speaker 1: Of the hair you've got, And let me tell you
11:15
there's nothing better than Cremmel hair tonic to do it.
11:18
Speaker 2: In the first place.
11:19
Speaker 1: Kremmeel does a marvelous job of hair grooming. It keeps
11:22
every lock neatly in place, yet never looks greasy or sticky.
11:26
Cremmel contains very special hair grooming ingredients, the like of
11:30
which have never been duplicated in any other hair tonic.
11:34
But Cremmel does lots more than just keep hair in place.
11:38
A massage with Kremmeel helps stimulate circulation of the blood
11:41
in the surface of a scalp. Your scalp feels so clean,
11:45
so alive, so invigorated. Remember, Kremwel actually helps condition the
11:50
hair in that it leaves of feeding.
11:51
Speaker 2: So much softer and more pliable.
11:54
Speaker 1: It also has a grand lubricating effect on a dry scalp. Still, remember, men,
11:59
make them most of the hair you've got. Use Cramel
12:03
hair tonic daily, k R E. M. L. Crammel hair Tonic,
12:13
and now doctor Watson. What happened in that hotel room
12:16
when shell Ot Holmes told them Spector Bernard that drank
12:18
all the violinists had been murdered and had not committed
12:21
to you at all.
12:22
Speaker 2: That's such a Bernard was a surprise. The matter of fact,
12:25
it seems to me that it was a bit fussing
12:28
here about this.
12:29
Speaker 4: But miss your Olds, you cannot find the face of
12:31
all the evidence.
12:32
Speaker 2: We see the daw as the.
12:33
Speaker 4: Bottle of poison. Clenty labels these suicide notes un questionably
12:37
in his own and writing, doctor Watson's medical evidence that
12:41
the man had been dead at least an hour, and
12:45
the final compilations of the man painting in the oil.
12:48
Who tells us that no one entered or left this
12:51
rule and say a few minutes ago, and against all
12:54
history troubles?
12:55
Speaker 2: What have you to offer a c Orlane that is
12:59
out of June. Nevertheless, inspectators, but trugt of the entire
13:03
case at homes, How can you tell what a follow
13:05
like Gunko would have done? I can assure you, Watson,
13:07
that he would have done almost anything in the world
13:10
except practice on this violin. No inspector, this was murder.
13:13
I'll take my reputation on him, and he's only your repetition,
13:16
Miss your ms that makes me editate at part. Give
13:19
me twenty four hours in which to establish how this
13:21
murder was done and who did it? Since he gives you,
13:23
ask me your own sway. Thank you, Come Watson, we
13:27
have some busy hours ahead of us. Good day, gentlemen,
13:33
were we often know. I'm such a hi British Embassies
13:36
the Embassy. While you evidently failed to notice during last
13:39
night's reception that Lady Ashley left us very abruptly the
13:42
moment Drenko joined our party. Her manners were inverted on rudeness,
13:46
and that's so unlikely to actually that. I feel that
13:48
an inquiry and that quarter made their interesting fruit. May
14:07
I ask mister Holmes a purpose behind this unexpected wizard
14:10
in just a moment, Sir Hubert, I'd like to have
14:12
Lady Ashley present, and I my maid said, you wanted
14:15
to say why, mister Holmes. Doctor Watson, I didn't know
14:19
you were here. I'm afraid our visit concerns a professional matter.
14:23
Lady Ashley. You see, Doctor Watson and I have just
14:26
come from the room of the late Monsieur Drinkle, the
14:30
late if you drink I don't understand Drinko has been murdered.
14:35
Lady Ashley Q got some matter since knowing that to face,
14:42
you just bring for your wife's maid you, miss, Yes,
14:44
I guess her. I must stay home. It brought the
14:47
news rather brutless. She took it with us nonsense, Watson.
14:52
What caused her to faint was relief. That was my object.
14:55
I have to find out what her reaction would be.
14:57
Speaker 1: Ill, Miss you neverly helped Lady Ashley act her.
15:00
Speaker 2: Room doesn't keep her quiet. Reason A couple of hot
15:04
tea will do no harm when she would consul And now, gentlemen,
15:10
it will excuse me. I am sorry, Sir Hubert, but
15:12
I must ask you to remain here with us for
15:14
a few moments, right. I don't understand, Sir Hubert. Lady
15:18
Ashley's reaction to the news of Drenko's death was a
15:20
good deal more pronounced than might be expected in the circumstances.
15:24
I haven't the faintest idea of what you're trying to insinuate.
15:26
I insinuate nothing. I merely state facts. Would you prefer
15:29
that I question her? Or will you tell me what
15:31
life behind all this?
15:33
Speaker 1: They well, mister Hilmes, that I should like to spur
15:37
my wife as much as possible.
15:38
Speaker 2: I only interested in any light that she might be
15:40
able to shed on the matter. Cynthia is a very
15:43
young and very beautiful woman. Before we were married, she had, well,
15:47
how should I put it there, fallen under the spell
15:49
of this man and drank her. But I have asked
15:52
her no questions. But I know that he continued to
15:54
have some strange hold over her. I had the impression
15:58
that she hated seeing him, and that he was forcing
16:00
his presence on her on those occasions when he came
16:03
as a guest in my house. I still don't believe
16:05
anyone killed the fellow, but if someone did, it sounds
16:07
like a good ridden. Unfortunately, Watson, we are not concerned
16:10
with the equities of the murder, but with its solutions.
16:13
Thank you, sir Hubert, you've been extremely helpful. Well, justice
16:16
must be done, mister Films. But if ever I wish
16:19
that your great powers might fail, it is now. I
16:21
have no hesitation whatsoever in saying that I am infinitely
16:24
grateful to the murder of that fine drinker.
16:27
Speaker 3: Oh the Holmes, Will you join me in a comtee?
16:45
Speaker 2: No to e. Thanks, I'm rather trusting to the inspiration
16:48
of music to assist me in resolving some of the
16:50
more puzzling features of this case. At least you can't
16:55
complain of a scarcely suspect. First of all, Sir Hubert
16:59
p Obviously after the lady ashid great cut home? What's
17:05
the matter the two house? No? But have you thought
17:08
of the possibility that food who might have killed drinker?
17:12
A purse? You might have been mad in love with?
17:14
The possibility had occurred to me, but I discarded it.
17:17
Oh discarded it? Hi, Jill, Look at this glass here
17:25
on the table. Its positive vibrating from that high note.
17:29
Not uncommon phenomenon, as you must know, certain objects vibrating
17:33
harmony with certain notes. That'sn't get your quote. We promised
17:39
to pay a visit to marry those shop. I think
17:41
this would be an ideal time to discharge that obligation.
17:45
Who ginger little place? I must say, found it eighteenth
18:03
treader one, This is I haven't wrshed the windows since,
18:06
but full of priceless treasures, as Marlowe said, infinite riches
18:10
in the little room. I say, where's Maryvale? I don't
18:13
like looks of that customer over there, while will that
18:16
pushy black beard and theatrical cloak. He looks like we're
18:19
a little pondering for us what you call him? Nahlist,
18:23
you must remember what's in the music appeals to oddly
18:25
assaulted people. Professor Mariachi, after all, knows no fear in
18:29
his interpretation of certain of the bark humans. Where is Holland,
18:33
doctor wat or is he says a gentleminity, It's no
18:39
wonder the fame of your sharp as world wide, mister Merrival,
18:42
I see you have some remarkable and remarkable instruments. You'll
18:44
say about you the first of a lifetime of devotion
18:47
to the violin. I must confess with your holds. It
18:51
detains me every time I say one of my treasures,
18:54
I can well believe it. And if you've made me
18:57
further progress to the solution of drinkers dead, I feel
19:00
safe in saying that my investigation has gleaned a few
19:03
personal facts, with it being discreet for me to askata
19:08
not at all. You yourself were present when I made
19:10
the curious discovery regarding Dranko's violin being out of tune,
19:14
and only a short time ago while I happened to
19:16
be playing my violin. Doctor Watson made a remark which
19:19
threw further light on the case, don't you Watson? Yes,
19:23
of course I don't know what's kind of a rival,
19:25
and you possess what she loans. But I'm sure you'll
19:28
appreciate one magnificent example that i'd like you to try.
19:31
If one is the equal lettery strade, i'd never see.
19:35
I am afraid it'll be far beyond the reach of
19:36
my person, right you at least or yourself the pleasure,
19:39
the great experience of playing here it is, isn't it beautiful? Exquisite?
19:47
If the tones as mellow as that barney, or what
19:49
it's cost, why don't you take it into my private
19:51
office in drive no one with this salk you, thank you.
19:56
I've never had the good fortune to chest at one
19:58
ear doctor, watching when missus Holmes is amusing himself. Perhaps
20:05
you'll be interested in some of these books we worses.
20:07
Is falser thing war to it than that there is
20:12
only one family in all Italy, doctor Watson, the possesses
20:15
the secret of making me a ball like this one.
20:17
It's all very fascinating, mister Marrow. Robert Holmes must have
20:20
made up his mind if you like said civil by
20:22
Now I know he wants to ask you some questions,
20:24
and I felt good. Heavens run design on a flaw.
20:32
You have to pay it, Harms. I'm afraid he's kid
20:35
quick docter watching over the belief and give you a
20:38
chance to find a bottle of Sinai by my side.
20:40
Oh no, Watson, stay here and listen to Merivale confess
20:43
how he murdered Drinko dur in life. No thanks to you.
20:47
I took the trouble to the sector violin you gave
20:49
me and then played one of the others here to
20:51
lure you in. He kill drunk over the suicide elementary,
20:54
My dear Watson, I would hesitate gest that it was
20:56
torn from the end of a letter to Merivale, referring
20:58
to an unsatisfactory instrument which was intolerable and which she
21:02
couldn't endure any one. Harms Man of Roux was nowhere
21:04
near Dranko when he died. Marivo had left a very
21:07
oddly constructed violin with Drinko, presumably last night, knowing that
21:10
it was Drinko's heavy to practice each morning from eight
21:13
till ten inside the violin. In place of a sound bar,
21:16
Marivo had put a thin glass vial containing cyanogen, the
21:20
lethal gas, which is identical in odor and effects with
21:22
the Sinai good. When Drinko reached the proper high note,
21:25
the extremely thin glass vow cracked under the impact of
21:28
the sympathetic vibrations, releasing the deadly fumes through the efoes
21:32
in the violin of violin that Marivo was delivering to Dranko.
21:34
When he discovered the cor precisely Watson, he nearly left
21:37
that one by the body, glinted the note, and carried
21:39
off the fatal weapon and all proof of the crime
21:42
in his now empty case. He made only one error.
21:45
He neglected to tune the violin. Gulst amazing homes listened
21:49
very patiently. Use rooms to your ingenious and utterly imaginary reconstructions.
21:53
I suppose you can punish himotives too. I'd preferred to
21:56
sparely the Ashley the audio merival, but I have no
21:59
doubt in that it was in you. She confided the
22:01
Drinko had been blackmailing her on the strength of the
22:04
earlier romance evict a man of murder. You need something
22:06
more than words. You need proof. You seem to be
22:09
overlooking this dissected violin on your desk with which you
22:12
attempted to murder me. I fancy that the sample of
22:15
your handiwork with the vile of gas a fixed therein
22:18
will offer ample proof, and you'll never send me to
22:20
the kitchen. I'll kill mass at first, but I'm going
22:22
to track your perver of a precisely what I have
22:25
sent her to drap it, then release the fumes. They
22:28
would put a speedy end. You are now you get
22:32
that arm. That's what helps a sonarous. I'm an inspector, Bernard.
22:39
As you noticed when you commented on his beard and
22:41
cloaked Watson, the inspector's fast in disguise are a trifle
22:44
flamboy your own.
22:47
Speaker 4: I must extend my thanks to you and the Abadi
22:49
suke not at all.
22:51
Speaker 2: Inspector. Your promptness in acting in response to my message
22:54
undoubtedly save Watson's life and mine. Thank you all o,
22:57
miss thank you very well. Have it your way, Inspector.
23:02
Now Mary Wells, come my last way, where I says,
23:10
rather too close a saved to suit me home? I say,
23:14
that's full of marvel. Is very ingenious quite you know, Watson.
23:20
I have one bit of regret concerning this case. Regret
23:23
I find that I have, despite all my protests, ended
23:26
by acting for Drinker without a fee. After all,
