Sherlock Holmes - Great Gandolf

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me! Who cares? Big retailers are making a record profit!

That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill!

See, things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll, and this bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic payments coalition.

Hey, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the Newsroom.

If you enjoy journalism that tricks into my old panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown, Lunatic in the Newsroom is for you.

It's news like you've never heard before. The only newsroom with a panic button, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show spirals completely out of control.

It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable. Lunatic in the Newsroom, listen today.

This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be transmitted to our men and women overseas by shortwave, and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.

Three wine brings you...

That's a last bone and Nigel Bruce, and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Petri family, the family that took time to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to Dr. Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend that master detective Sherlock Holmes.

And I'd like to tell you about something Dr. Watson shared with me the other night, some Petri California Sherry.

Do you ever have a glass of Petri Sherry before dinner? Well, that's a swell time for it because the Petri Sherry is the best beginning a good meal ever had.

What a wine. You don't have to serve it in fancy wine glasses either, not Petri Sherry. That wine would taste wonderful if you drank it out of a water glass.

You can just taste those sunriphon grapes. And incidentally, if you like your Sherry dry, you know, not sweet, then just do what I do, as for Petri Pale Dry Sherry.

It's a good idea to always have a bottle of Petri Sherry in the house because it's just the thing to serve when company catches you unprepared.

And believe me, you can serve that Petri Sherry proudly because it's the fact that the name Petri is the promised name and the history of American wines.

And now let's visit with our good friend, Dr. Watson. I know he's expecting.

Good evening. Good evening, Mr. Bartell.

Good evening, Dr.. Oh, you have the old black tinned dispatch box out again.

Yes, my boy. I've just been refreshing my memory on one or two points in connection tonight. Storner, draw a picture.

Thank you. That's it. That's it. The tobacco's in the jar beside you.

Thanks, Dr.. You know, I'm particularly excited about hearing your story tonight.

Last week, you told us that Sherlock Holmes' brother, Microsoft Holmes, took part in the adventure.

That's quite right, Mr. Bartell. I didn't even know Mr. Holmes had a brother. I wish you'd tell me something about it.

Well, Microsoft was seven years older than Sherlock, but the difference between them was amazing.

While Holmes was lean and consumed with a burning energy, his elder brother was fat and blazey.

And yet Holmes has often told me that Microsoft was his superior in part of observation and deduction.

Well, now that you've thoroughly wedded my appetite, Dr. How's about it?

Very well, my boy. I suppose this story really began in Microsoft Holmes' room at the Foreign Office in London.

Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did hold a position of considerable importance.

In fact, you may remember that on more than one occasion, Holmes has said,

Microsoft is the British government, but to get back to my story.

It's on a June morning in 1912, just for the First World War.

But a young man in the Foreign Office named Guy Troubles stood talking to Microsoft Holmes,

who sat stalled in an armchair before him,

speak resting on another chair, his cup hands cradling his ample scum.

Mr. Holmes?

Mr. Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep, have you, sir?

No, Travis, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you to get to the point.

Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track for most elusive female spy.

Do you mean how exhausting?

She's dangerous, sir. Very dangerous. She's not only a collective information,

but a sort of central clearinghouse of military secrets as well.

You seem to be a little young, Travis, to be on such a case.

I asked the assignment, sir.

Why? Female spies aren't as glamorous as they sound, you know?

No one knows that better than I do, sir.

You see, my brother got mixed up with this girl two years ago.

Who's cashier from his regiment, and who did suicide?

I'm sorry, Travis.

Tell me what you found out about her.

You say you'll be on her track?

I've traced her to a number of seaside towns,

but she keeps slipping through my fingers.

Have you a list of the towns?

Yes, sir. Here you are.

No, no, no, you read him to me.

Well, I first got on a track at Torquey.

From there, I followed a wamous,

former sportsman, Wagner, Worthing, Ho, Brighton, and...

I trust you drew the obvious conclusion.

I think I did, sir. Several of those towns are naval bases.

No, no, no. The list you've just read me

is to recognize theatrical circuit.

Oh, I never thought of that.

The simplest way to track down your spy

is to find whether she was appearing in either a playover at yet.

In all of the towns on the dates covered by your inquiries.

Yes, Mr. Holmes, I'll do that at once, and I'll report back to you.

Very well, if you must.

Close the door quietly, won't you? I'm confoundingly sleepy.

Mr. Holmes? Mr. Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you, sir?

Oh, it's you, travelers. Well, what did you find out?

A great deal, sir.

The only theatrical show that was appearing at all of those towns

was a magician's act called The Great Gandalfel.

I trust you went and saw the performance.

Yes, sir. Last night at Hastings.

And? The magician's assistant was a girl

who looked exactly like the one I saw my brother with two years ago.

Did you go backstage and talk to her?

Yes, sir. But it's a funny thing.

For those she looked exactly like the other girl, I swear she's the same one.

This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere

when she told me she'd never heard of my brother.

That's the danger of putting you young fellows on the cases this kind.

A beautiful woman and a good actress can fool you nine times out of ten.

What's your next move, travelers?

Well, sir, I was hoping perhaps, perhaps you might come down with and see the act.

It's playing at Eastbourne tomorrow. It's not very far, sir.

Stir my twenty stone.

These are comforts of my office and club to track us by.

No, my boy.

However, your mention of Eastbourne gives me an idea.

Yes, sir.

My young brother Sherlock is living on a B-Farm

a few miles outside Eastbourne.

He might help you.

He's a great detective, isn't he, sir?

I have never regarded him as one.

Though I will admit that for a man with such a shocking excess of physical energy,

he possesses a relatively superior mind.

Yes, yes, go and ask Sherlock.

Thank you, sir.

I will.

Tell him that if he can solve the case,

I'll do it for him and without keeping London.

And so Mr. Holmes, I did as your brother suggested and came down here to Eastbourne

to tell you about the king.

I quite understand, Mr. Struggler.

Interesting, sir.

It is too, my boy.

I'm certainly glad that I happen to be staying down here with you, Holmes.

You will handle the case, of course.

I'm undecided, old fellow.

The problem presents some interesting possibilities and yet my life here among the bees

has taken off pleasant and soothing pattern.

Oh, I hate to disturb you.

Oh, come, come, come, come, Holmes.

Be good for you to get away from your wicked bees for a few days.

I forgot to tell you, Mr. Holmes.

As I left your brother, he told me that if you couldn't solve the case,

he'd do it for you without leaving London.

Dear old microft, he meant that was a challenge.

Hand me the paper, will you watch some?

Yeah.

Thanks, old chap.

Well, what are you looking for?

A museum guide.

Ah, it is.

Devin Traffiata Esbon, twice night-giverad is 6.30 and nine.

The great Gandalfo, king of magic.

You mean for coming to the theatre with me tonight, Mr. Holmes?

Certainly.

I can't allow my cross-challenge to go unanswered and I'm sure that Dr. Watson will accompany us

when I tell him Miss Sissy Kitana is also appearing on the bill singing.

An old favorite of his.

There was I, a waiting at the church.

A waiting at the church.

A waiting at the church.

My mum, he left me in the mud.

Oh, no, we did all of the stuff to me.

Oh, my God, he said he wrote it down.

He is a better known city.

He's one hero.

He's gone.

Yes, it works.

He's been here today.

My wife was left me.

That's the most entertaining woman for the Kitana.

And that's good looking too.

Why, why, why, why, why?

The great Gandalfo is next, Mr. Holmes.

Yes, I'm just telling the program.

He's not exactly modest in his claims.

The great Gandalfo, the world's staggering illusionist.

Presenting the ceiling cabinet mystery assisted by Miss Florvin Lasur.

Oh, do you have me?

How very flog it.

I must say I love this old musical flavor.

I remember going to the Paris city a few years ago to a perfectly charming girl.

A war like this made her look like a white rabbit.

That dress did look like they were coming, I must say.

I said my car around the stage.

There was some flowers, of course.

That's why I'm amazed by it.

That's a big story, I'll follow.

But I'm afraid we'll have to finish later because it's going up.

There he is.

That's the great Gandalfo.

Oh, Jones, it's just a very attractive illusion.

Listen.

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to be here before you tonight.

I may say that the ceiling cabinet mystery that I am about to present has it detained and

complexed off a dozen of the crowned things of her, a together with their queen.

Come, don't talk so much.

Get on with the check.

And I may say I'm hoping that you ladies and gentlemen will give me the same courtesy.

And the same courtesy and attention that was given me by the royalty I have just met.

Now, before I present my illusion, I should like to ask for two volunteers from the audience

who will come up here beside the other stage so that I may be watching.

And two volunteers, please.

Wait for us here, Mr. Travis.

Very well, Mr. Holmes.

Come on, Watson.

Do you mean that we're going up on the stage?

Yes, it's a wonderful opportunity.

Do I see two gentlemen rising splendid?

Two gentlemen are coming up from the audience.

Two gentlemen that I have first seen before.

Watch the set, please.

That's it.

Over the foot might stand onto the stage.

That's right.

And now, sir, have you ever seen me before?

Never.

And you, sir?

Don't be afraid to speak up, sir.

No, I have.

Mr. Stewart, please see that the gentlemen are seated.

I thank you.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to watch me closely.

You will observe that there is a wooden cabinet on the stage.

There is also another cabinet of the same shape and size hanging high above me,

which you can...

Oh, oh, see, a glass of water, please, Mr. Stewart.

Oh, go on.

What the fuck is it?

What did you say, sir?

You heard you ain't got flour.

We will dispense with the glass of water.

Now, my assistant, Miss Florene the Sir,

will step into this cabinet on the stage.

I want you to, gentlemen, to watch it very closely.

Mr. Stewart is now lying inside the cabinet.

Is she nuts?

Yes, she is.

Very well.

I close the lid.

So, I lock it with these bolts.

And now, I ask one of you gentlemen to attach this padlock to the box.

Will you blind me?

Very well.

I thank you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, before your eyes, you have seen Mr. Stewart enter a cabinet on this stage.

A cabinet that has been broken and cancelled.

You can still see the duplicate cabinet hanging above me by an attachment of wires and poles.

I now count a one, a two, a three, and fire this revolver as a cabinet above me.

If you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we will lower the ceiling cabinet to the stage.

You will notice that this cabinet is also bolted and padlock.

I will ask one of you two gentlemen to unbolt it.

I thank you, sir.

And to this gentleman, I shall end the key of the padlock.

And kindly unlock it, sir.

I thank you.

And now, if you will both raise the lid of the cabinet.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, it's Florine La Tour.

I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I thank you.

Well, why did we have to leave home?

I was having a wonderful time.

I thought it would affect the whole way where I come up with this work to be done.

Mr. Holmes, if you want to go backstage, I'll introduce you to Mr. Sir.

Oh, it's a splendid idea.

Before we do that, Mr. Travers, there's one important fact I want to know.

What is it, sir?

I presume you will have a dossier of the available facts concerning the spy.

Yes, sir. Everything that we've been able to find out.

Among red evidence, do you buy any chance, heavily?

Yes, sir.

I do.

Spend it.

Then let's go at once for the nearest police station and compare the fingerprints on this glass with those in your possession.

Where did you get that glass home?

You remember that Mr. Sir, before she entered that cabinet on the stage, handed Guam Delpho a glass of water.

You mean that for glass?

Why, oh, should I be carrying a drinking glass with me, old chap?

Very neat, Mr. Holmes.

And right under the nose of a magician, too.

Well, I'm not exactly inept at the practice of a leisure domain myself, Mr. Travers.

Come on.

Let's have a talk with that local fingerprint expert, shall we?

Mr. Holmes, the fingerprint on this glass who brought me out up the same as the one shown in this record.

Yes, sir.

Oh, absolutely, sir.

Just as I thought, I'm much obliged to you.

Always glad to help the gentleman make you, Mr. Holmes.

Thank you, and good night. Come on, Travers.

What's on?

I wish you'd explain what you're up to, Holmes.

So do I, sir. I'm completely in the dark.

Surely it's obvious.

The only way Guam Delpho's trick could be done by using twingos less identically, of course.

One in the cabinet on the stage and the other in the cabinet hanging from the ceiling.

I don't know whether you've noticed it, Watson.

That there were small holes drilled around the base of the box undoubtedly to enable its

ultimate breathe.

By George, of course.

That would explain why the girl I spoke to didn't seem to know me.

Or my brother when I spoke to him.

Exactly.

And in any case, how better could a spy hide herself from a role where her employer, a magician

must by the very nature of his trick and deny her existence?

The question is, which girl is the spy?

This fingerprint test has given us the answer.

You mean it isn't the girl on the stage who wants to assist Guam Delpho?

It certainly is not over long.

Your spy will be in the cabinet suspended.

I about the stage of the departure theater at nine o'clock this evening.

But this time we will watch the performance from the audience.

Now, watch me closely, ladies and gentlemen.

There is no deception.

One, a two, a three.

And now, if you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we will untie the ropes and lower the ceiling cabinet to the stage.

Holmes, we must never get away.

I'm ready, old chap.

I'll keep your eyes skinned.

You may have a surprise for us.

And I will now ask one of you two gentlemen to unbolt the cabinet.

I thank you, sir.

And now, if this gentleman will take the key and unlock the padlock, I thank you, sir.

And now, if you will both raise the lid of the cabinet, I thank you.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is Miss Florey in love, sir.

Miss the sewer, step out, please.

Miss the sewer.

Come on, Watson. Just get about the stage. Make sure Holmes.

What happens, sir?

Miss the sewer. She's been injured.

I'm a doctor. Let me look at her.

I'm afraid she's beyond the help of Dr. Watson.

Look at that bullet wound in my head. She's been murdered.

We'll hear the rest of Dr. Watson's story in just a few seconds, so I'm just going to make a very quick suggestion.

If you like good food, who doesn't?

You'll find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by a good glass of petri wine.

And petri makes wonderful meal-time wines.

If you like a red wine, you know, to go with any meat or meat dish, you really like petri California burgundy.

And if you prefer a white wine to go with chicken or fish, you couldn't ask for a better one than petri California's turn.

Remember those two wines, huh?

Petri burgundy and petri so turn.

They're petri wines, so you know they're good.

And now back to Dr. Watson and tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure, the Greg Gandalfon.

What happened next doctor?

You just got to the part where you and Sherlock Holmes on the stage of a bloodvill theater were examining the dead body of one of the great Gandalfos assistant.

That's right, but as you can imagine the excitement was intense.

The local police were soon at the theater and the officer in charge is certain sergeant puff.

So you can take a very great personal dislike to Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, they great Sherlock Holmes comes out of retirement to teach our police force out to end the case.

I'm not trying to teach the police anything.

You follow your own line of investigation and I'll follow mine.

And suppose when I say I don't want private detectives poking their nose into a police investigation.

Then my good man, I shall report your conduct to the local chief of police and obtain the necessary permission.

No need to get up at here about it Mr. Holmes, but too many cooks spoil the broth.

I can extremely profound remark second.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I've worked to do.

And so have I. And we'll see who gets to the bottom of this first.

I'm going to conductor the decimal.

Holmes, I'm worried about the dead girl's twin sister.

I've been looking for her everywhere and no one seems to see her since the tragedy occurred.

Not for anybody else, Jeff.

You would hardly expect her to reveal the secret of the cabinet tricked by exposing the fact that the dead girl had a twin.

I never thought that.

But you saw there on the stage when the trick started.

It seems to me that she is in great danger.

She is in very great danger.

I don't worry.

I've taken the precaution of having her guarded.

Oh, oh.

I'll explain that to you later.

In the meantime, we have to work fast.

It appears that Sergeant Buf is out to try and show me up by solving the case first.

That makes the second challenge I've received today.

Mr. Holmes, and how are you getting along?

Friendly thanks, and you?

I'm beaten.

I don't mind admitting it.

I thought at first the one man it couldn't be was gunned off of because he was on the stage all the time.

But then it seemed to me that he might have fired a live bullet when he shot at the box on the ceiling.

The angle from the stage wouldn't turn side of the bullet hole in the bottom of the box, Sergeant.

That shot must have been fired from the audience below.

Mr. Holmes, you know who did it, don't you?

Yes, Sergeant, I do.

I wish you'd tell me, Mr. Holmes.

It should be obvious, Sergeant.

What's new with Jan and the cops, please tell the Sergeant your findings.

And you're lying on a back in the box.

There was a small hole in the forehead and a large one in the neighbor's neck.

Exactly.

And since the point of entrance of a bullet is smaller than the point of exit,

it proves that you must have been shot lying in the box from above.

Once the box was in position over the audience, she could have been shot only if I'm below.

For the girl had already been killed when the box was placed into the ceiling.

Right, Joe, yes.

And only one person to come here.

Only two.

How do you figure that out, Mr. Holmes?

The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity as the great Gandalfo himself.

Of course she had.

Now I see why you were having her watch, Mr. Holmes.

If you'll excuse me, Jan, Zo, Zo.

I'm beginning to think it's a good thing you're on this case after all.

That's very generous of you, Sergeant.

And now, perhaps if you would do me the favor of keeping an eye on Mr. Gandalfo yourself?

Of course I will, sir.

Were we doing home?

To the jolly fisherman hotel to call up this last sewer.

How do you know she's there?

I just received a message from young clarrers.

He followed her on my instructions as she left the theatre.

Come on, old man.

There's no time to be lost.

Ah, very well, Tarrers.

Mr. Lasto, it's still here, I trust.

Yes, Mr. Holmes, she's up in her room.

I wonder if you'd mind asking her to come down and see me.

I'm sure that we can talk privately in the lounge over there.

But, you are, Mr. Holmes. I'll go and get her.

What are you going to say to Mr. Sir Holmes?

That depends on her attitude, old chap.

Come on, let's go into the lounge, are we?

It's a lucky thing that you had her fired.

It wasn't obvious for caution, Watson.

You see, I realised from the very nature of a cabinet trick that Mr. Lasto would have to leave the theatre

after escaping through the trap door below the cabinet that was on the stage.

Before her twin sister descended from the cabinet that was suspended from the ceiling.

Then she doesn't know that her sister has been murdered, huh?

If she is innocent, she doesn't.

And if she is innocent, then we all know that our murderer is gunned out for old.

Fish comes.

I have told Mr. Sir that you want to talk to her privately, Mr. Holmes.

You can select who you want to talk about Mr. Holmes. I have nothing to say.

But you shouldn't have a code of honor, you know.

I quite appreciate that fact, Mr. Lasto. I want you to sit down.

What do you want with me?

I have news for you.

News of your twin sister.

My...

I haven't got a twin sister.

My friend knows exactly how the cabinet trick is done, my dear.

Yes, you might as well tell the truth, Mr. Sir.

Well, all right, then, so I have a twin sister. What of it?

No crime in that is there. What are you getting at?

I want you to believe that I'm here to help my dear.

You're going to need help and courage.

What are you getting at? Come on, tell me.

I'm starting to be the bearer of the news.

Mr. Lasto, your sister is dead.

Yes! I don't believe it.

I'm afraid it's true. She was murdered.

You're lying. This is a trick.

You're trying to make me give myself away.

I'm trying to give it the truth. Your sister was found shot through the head

when the cabinet was lowered to the state tonight.

I feel no believe it.

Why should my friend lie dear?

How was your sister the last time you saw her for the commencement of the act?

No, different from any other time.

It was responsible for suspending her entry into the cabinet.

Gandalfa? Or me?

She used to go into it before the performance when the stage was dark and deserted.

Did you help her enter the box tonight?

No. Gandalfa did.

You knew of course that your sister's activity.

What do you mean?

That she was engaged in espionage.

That's not true.

Very well, Mr. Soren.

I won't be honest with me. I'm afraid I'll have to tell you over to the police.

I think you'll find their methods are a little more crude than mine though.

The police?

Oh no. Don't go to that, Mr. Holmes.

All right, I'll tell you everything.

Gandalfa's got me so frightened of him.

I was lying to you.

I knew that my sister was working for him.

I tried to stop her, but she loved money.

I think Gandalfa gave up plenty of that.

They had a route for the show tonight.

She knew you were on the stage at the first performance, Mr. Holmes.

Gandalfault spotted you too.

Because she was frightened.

Said she knew you'd catch her and she wanted to run away.

Gandalfault told her that she had to appear tonight.

She was still arguing about it when they left the dressing room.

The dirty swine killed him because he was afraid she'd given away.

And now he'll kill me too.

The great Gandalfault will be beyond the help of magic before this night is over.

Yes, he'll be behind bars.

He belongs.

Yes, sir.

And stay here with Mr. Sir Pallion.

We'll be back later at the moment.

There is unfinished business awaiting us at the Japanese shop theater.

Well, Mr. Holmes, I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Gandalfault safely in prison thanks to you.

And now you tell me you don't want an upset in the case.

On my dear sergeant.

I really have beef on me, you know.

In any case, I want to retore your face and try the detectives.

The next time you meet one, I'm sure you won't be so unprinted, shall I say?

I'm humble, sir.

I'm very humble.

And I thank you very kindly for all you've done.

Oh, and by the way, Mr. Holmes, this telegram arrived for you to see it.

While you were away, and here you are, sir.

Oh, thank you, Sergeant Pallion.

No, sir, it's me that should be thanking you, sir.

Who on earth knew that you was the third of tonight?

I don't think we'll find out.

What does it say, Holmes?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

It's from my brother, Michael.

Michael?

What's he going to say?

Really, it's quite humiliating.

That's all he's saying.

He wouldn't have tuning in.

But never did leave his arm, sir, in London.

Listen to this.

Have just checked on Gang Dolfo's repertoire of magic tricks.

You will find spy in box suspended from seeding of theater, elementary, a.

My dish, a lot.

What a show.

Holmes, he really is amazing, isn't he?

He is also a prophet, old chap.

Prophet?

How do you mean?

Well, he indicates the handwriting on the wall.

I'm fast, my prime.

I'm too old for a lift detection.

It's back to me, B-farm, old fellow.

It's back to me, B-s.

Doctor, that was a swell story.

I bet it was an interesting case to work on.

Yes, it certainly was.

I've always had a friendship for the theater, you know?

But you really mean, Doctor, is.

You always had an eye for a pretty girl.

Mr. Boutu, will you blunt for us?

Why not?

I must admit, I like to look at a pretty girl myself.

You, Mr. Boutu?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I've always had a friendship for the theater, you know?

But you really mean, Doctor, is.

You always had an eye for a pretty girl.

Mr. Boutu?

You, Mr. Boutu?

Why shouldn't I like to look at a pretty girl?

Oh, go right ahead and look, my dear father.

Go right ahead.

You just sort of surprised me a bit, that's all.

I never thought you'd give a moment's consideration

to anything but Petri Wynne.

Now you're really pulling my life.

I must admit, I did talk a lot about Petri Wynne,

but after all, Doctor, it's worth talking about.

What are the Wynne as such tradition?

Such a story behind it.

Petri Wynne is made by a family, the Petri family.

They've owned and run their own business ever since its inception,

back in the 1800s.

The Petri family's been making good wine for generations,

and they've been handing on down in the family

from father to son, from father to son,

the fine-eyed of turning luscious sun-ripen grapes

into fragrant, delicious wine.

And that sure adds up to a lot of experience.

You can just bet your last dollar that,

no matter what kind of wine you want,

when you ask for a Petri wine, you're asking for good wine

because Petri took time to bring you good wine.

Well, Doctor Houghby, giving us a clue

to next week's Sherlock Holmes adventure.

Well, no.

Next week, Mr. Butler,

till you're a most unusual story that took place

about a small steamship as it plowed through the stormy seas

of the Indian Ocean.

I call the adventure bitter by moonlight.

Oh, but before I say goodnight, ladies and gentlemen,

remember that on Thursday, October the 27th,

the nation will observe Navy Day,

which is your opportunity to thank for fleet

for its magnificent contribution towards victory.

Don't forget, will you?

Tonight, Sherlock Holmes adventure is written by Dennis Greene

and Anthony Boucher, and was suggested by an incident

in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, The Second Stand.

Mr. Rathbone appears through the courtesy of Metro Goldwood Mayor

The Petri wine company of San Francisco, California,

invites you to tune in again next week,

same time, same station.

This is Harry Bytell, saying goodnight for the Petri family.

This is the mutual broadcaster.
