Sherlock Holmes - Great Gandolf

<v Speaker 1>This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
<v Speaker 1>and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
<v Speaker 1>Radio Service.
<v Speaker 2>Petree Wine brings you nas A Lathborne and.
<v Speaker 1>Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The
<v Speaker 1>Petrie family, the family that took time to bring you
<v Speaker 1>good wine. Invites you to listen to doctor Watson tell
<v Speaker 1>us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
<v Speaker 1>that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And I'd like to tell
<v Speaker 1>you about something doctor Watson shared with me the other night.
<v Speaker 1>Some Petrie California's sherry. Do you ever have a glass
<v Speaker 1>of Petrie sherry before dinner? That's a swell time for it,
<v Speaker 1>because the Petrie sherry is the beginning a good meal
<v Speaker 1>ever had?
<v Speaker 3>What a wine?
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to serve it in fancy wine glasses either,
<v Speaker 1>not Petrie sherry. That wine would taste wonderful if you
<v Speaker 1>drank it out of a water glass.
<v Speaker 2>It can just taste those sun ripe and grapes.
<v Speaker 1>And incidentally, if you like your sherry dry, you know,
<v Speaker 1>not sweet, then just do what I do. Ask for
<v Speaker 1>Petrie pale dry sherry. It's a good idea to always
<v Speaker 1>have a bottle of Petrie sherry in the house because
<v Speaker 1>it's just the thing to serve when company catches you unprepared.
<v Speaker 1>And believe me, you can serve that Petrie sherry proudly
<v Speaker 1>because it's the fact that the name Petrie is the
<v Speaker 1>proudest name and the history of American wis And now
<v Speaker 1>let's visit with our good friend, doctor Watson. I always expecting.
<v Speaker 4>Good evening, mister Boman. Doctor. Oh you have the.
<v Speaker 2>Old black ten dispatch box out again.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, my boy, I've just been refreshing my memory on
<v Speaker 5>one or two points in Connections tonight, storing it draw
<v Speaker 5>for you. Thanks the Tobacco's and the job beside you.
<v Speaker 1>Thanks doctor. You know I'm particularly excited about hearing your
<v Speaker 1>story tonight. Last week you told us that Sherlock holmes
<v Speaker 1>brother Micraft Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Took part in the advantage. That's quite right, mister Bartell.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know mister Holmes had a brother. I
<v Speaker 1>wish you'd tell me something about it.
<v Speaker 5>Well, Microft was seven years older than Charlotte, but the
<v Speaker 5>difference between them was amazing, while Holmes was lean and
<v Speaker 5>consumed with a burning energy.
<v Speaker 4>His older brother was fat and lazy, and he at
<v Speaker 4>Holmes has.
<v Speaker 5>Often told me that Microft was his superior in paths
<v Speaker 5>of observation and deduction.
<v Speaker 1>Well, now you've thoroughly weted my appetite, doctor, how's about it?
<v Speaker 5>Very well, my boy, I suppose this story really began
<v Speaker 5>in Microft Holmes's room at the Foreign Office in London.
<v Speaker 5>Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did
<v Speaker 5>hold a position of considerable importance. In fact, you may
<v Speaker 5>remember that on more than one occasion Holmes has said Microft.
<v Speaker 4>Is the British government. But do to get back to
<v Speaker 4>my story.
<v Speaker 5>So on a June morning in nineteen hundred and twelve,
<v Speaker 5>just for the First World War, but a young man
<v Speaker 5>in the Foreign Office named Guy I Travers stood talking
<v Speaker 5>to Mycroft Homes, who SATs pauled in an armchair before him,
<v Speaker 5>his feet resting on another chair, his cup hands cradling
<v Speaker 5>is ample stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Holmes, I said, mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep,
<v Speaker 2>have you, sir?
<v Speaker 6>No, Travelers, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you
<v Speaker 6>to get to the point.
<v Speaker 2>Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track
<v Speaker 2>for most of loosive female spy.
<v Speaker 4>Dear me, how exhausting.
<v Speaker 2>She's dangerous, sir, very dangerous. She did not have the
<v Speaker 2>e collector of information, but a sort of central clearing
<v Speaker 2>house of military secrets as well.
<v Speaker 7>You seem to be a little young, Travers, to be
<v Speaker 7>on such a case.
<v Speaker 2>I asked the assignment, sir, why female's eyes aren't as
<v Speaker 2>glamorous as they sound. You know, no one knows that
<v Speaker 2>better than I do, Sir. You see, my brother got
<v Speaker 2>mixed up with this girl two years ago who was
<v Speaker 2>cashier from his regiment and committed suicide.
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry, Travers. Tell me what you found out about her.
<v Speaker 6>You say you've been on her track.
<v Speaker 2>I've traced her to a number of seaside towns, but
<v Speaker 2>she keeps slipping through my fingers.
<v Speaker 8>Have you a list of the towns?
<v Speaker 7>Yes, sir, here you are no, no, no, you read them
<v Speaker 7>to me.
<v Speaker 5>Well.
<v Speaker 2>I first got on a track at Tortee. From there
<v Speaker 2>I pulled it Awaymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Wagner, Worthing, Hove, Brighton,
<v Speaker 2>and I.
<v Speaker 7>Trust you through the obvious conclusion.
<v Speaker 2>I think I did, sir, Several of those towns are
<v Speaker 2>naval basis.
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no.
<v Speaker 6>The list you just read me is to recognize theatrical circuit.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I never thought of that.
<v Speaker 6>The simplest way to track down your spy is to
<v Speaker 6>find whether she was appearing in either a play or
<v Speaker 6>variety act in all of the towns on the dates
<v Speaker 6>covered by your inquiries.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Holmes, I'll do that at once, and i'll
<v Speaker 2>report back to you.
<v Speaker 7>Oh very well, if you must close the.
<v Speaker 4>Door quietly, won't you?
<v Speaker 3>I'm confoundedly sleepy, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you? Sir?
<v Speaker 5>Oh?
<v Speaker 7>It's you travels well? What did you find out? A
<v Speaker 7>great deal?
<v Speaker 4>Sir?
<v Speaker 2>The only theatrical shoulder was appearing at all of those
<v Speaker 2>towns was a magician's act called the Great Gandolfo.
<v Speaker 7>I trust you went and saw the performance.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, last night at Hastings. And the magician's assistant
<v Speaker 2>was a girl who looked exactly like the one I
<v Speaker 2>saw my brother with two years ago.
<v Speaker 7>Did you go backstage and talk to her?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, what's a funny thing for? Though she looked
<v Speaker 2>exactly like the other girl, I swear she isn't the
<v Speaker 2>same one. This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere when
<v Speaker 2>she told me she had never heard of my brother.
<v Speaker 6>Hmm, that's the danger of putting you, young fellows on
<v Speaker 6>a case of this kind. A beautiful woman and a
<v Speaker 6>good actress can fool you nine times out of ten.
<v Speaker 7>What's your next move?
<v Speaker 4>Travels well, sir?
<v Speaker 2>I was hoping preps. Perhaps you might come down with him, Ciliac,
<v Speaker 2>it's playing at Eastbourne tomorrow. It's not very fast.
<v Speaker 6>Stir my twenties dove leave, leave the comfort of my
<v Speaker 6>office and club to.
<v Speaker 9>Track a spy.
<v Speaker 4>No, my boy.
<v Speaker 7>However, your mention of Eastbourne gives me an idea.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, my young brother, Sherlock is living.
<v Speaker 6>On a bee farm a few miles outside Eastbourne.
<v Speaker 7>He might help you.
<v Speaker 2>He's a great detective, isn't he?
<v Speaker 3>Sir?
<v Speaker 2>I have never.
<v Speaker 6>Regarded him as well, So I will admit that for
<v Speaker 6>the man was such a shock excess of physical energy,
<v Speaker 6>he possesses a relatively superior mind.
<v Speaker 10>Yes, yes, go and ask Sherlock thank you, sir. I
<v Speaker 10>will tell him the dis If he.
<v Speaker 6>Can solve the case, I'll do it for him, and
<v Speaker 6>without leaving London.
<v Speaker 2>And so mister Holmes. I did it your brother suggested,
<v Speaker 2>and came down here to Eastbourne to tell you about
<v Speaker 2>the King.
<v Speaker 8>I quite understand mis travels.
<v Speaker 5>The interesting story is too, my boy. I'm certainly glad
<v Speaker 5>that I happened to be staying down here with you.
<v Speaker 4>Holmes. You will handle the case, of course.
<v Speaker 10>I'm undecided, old fellow. The problem presents some interesting possibilities.
<v Speaker 10>And get my life here among the bees has taken
<v Speaker 10>a pleasant and soothing pattern. Oh I hateed to.
<v Speaker 4>Still come, Come, come homes. It would be good for
<v Speaker 4>you to get away from your wretched bees for a
<v Speaker 4>few days.
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to tell you, mister Holmes, as I left
<v Speaker 2>your brother he told me that if you couldn't solve
<v Speaker 2>the case, he'd do it for you without leaving London.
<v Speaker 10>Dear Old Micraft. He meant that the challenge handing the paper?
<v Speaker 10>Will you Watson?
<v Speaker 4>Thanks? O jaf.
<v Speaker 8>What are you looking for, amusing guide?
<v Speaker 6>Ah?
<v Speaker 10>It is Devonshire Theater, Eastbourne, twice nightly variety is six
<v Speaker 10>thirty and nine The Great Gamdolfo, King of Magic.
<v Speaker 2>Will we come to the theater with me tonight?
<v Speaker 10>Mister Holmes, certainly I can't allow my cross challenge to
<v Speaker 10>go unanswered. And I'm sure the doctor Watson will accompany
<v Speaker 10>us when I tell him. Miss Sissy Gitana is also
<v Speaker 10>appearing on the bill, singing an old favorite of his.
<v Speaker 10>There was I a white Jean at the church, White
<v Speaker 10>Jean atte the church, Oh, white jean at the church.
<v Speaker 10>All sent me all he said me round here is
<v Speaker 10>the very is what he around.
<v Speaker 4>You can't get it work to marry him today?
<v Speaker 11>My what we send.
<v Speaker 5>That's the most entertaining woman. Forty Gaitana and that's good.
<v Speaker 5>Look into Cliff.
<v Speaker 2>The Great Gandolfo is next, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 8>Yes, I'm just telling the program.
<v Speaker 2>Ha ha.
<v Speaker 8>He's not exactly modest in his claims.
<v Speaker 10>The Great Gandolfo the world Staggering Illusionist, presenting the Seating
<v Speaker 10>Cabinet Mystery, assisted by Missus Florvin lassul gm me how
<v Speaker 10>very Florid.
<v Speaker 5>I must say, I love this old music hall flavor.
<v Speaker 5>I remember going to the Palace here a few years ago.
<v Speaker 5>It's the perfectly charming girl, who are white? Chris made
<v Speaker 5>it look like a little white rabbit. That Chris did
<v Speaker 5>look quite people coming, I would say, I said my
<v Speaker 5>card around the stage.
<v Speaker 4>There was some flowers. Of course, that's my mains massive.
<v Speaker 8>Sorry, old fellow, that I'm not paid. You'll have to
<v Speaker 8>finish the leader. The curtain's coming out.
<v Speaker 2>There, he is, that's the great Gandolfo by Jones.
<v Speaker 4>Listen for the attractive, isn't you?
<v Speaker 8>Listen, ladies and gentlemen.
<v Speaker 12>It gives me great pleasure to be here before you tonight.
<v Speaker 12>I may say that the seiling cabinet mystery that I
<v Speaker 12>am about to present has entertained and perplexed half a
<v Speaker 12>dozen of the crown wings over it together with their Queen.
<v Speaker 7>Come don't ask them, get on with the.
<v Speaker 12>Text, And I may say, I'm hoping that you, ladies
<v Speaker 12>and gentlemen will give me the same courtesy of attention
<v Speaker 12>that was given me by the Royalty.
<v Speaker 8>I have just meant.
<v Speaker 7>Now, before I present.
<v Speaker 12>My illusion, I should like to ask for two volunteers
<v Speaker 12>from the audience who will come on here beside the
<v Speaker 12>other stage, so that I may be watching two volunteers.
<v Speaker 10>Please wait for mister Travers very well, mister Helms, come
<v Speaker 10>on watch them me that we're going up on the
<v Speaker 10>stage years.
<v Speaker 8>Into a wonderful opportunity.

<v Speaker 12>are coming up from the audience.
<v Speaker 4>Two gentlemen that I have ever seen before.
<v Speaker 12>Watch the simple that's it over the footlight, then onto
<v Speaker 12>the stage.
<v Speaker 8>That's right.
<v Speaker 7>And now, sir, have you ever seen me before?
<v Speaker 4>Never?
<v Speaker 2>And you, sir, don't be afraid to speak up.
<v Speaker 12>Sir, mister Sewer, please see that.
<v Speaker 4>The gentlemen are seated.
<v Speaker 2>I thank you.
<v Speaker 12>Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to watch me closely.
<v Speaker 2>You will observe that there is a wooden cabinet on
<v Speaker 2>the stage.
<v Speaker 12>There is also another cabinet of the same shape and
<v Speaker 12>size hanging eye above me, which you can.
<v Speaker 4>Pull or see a glass of water. Please, mister Sewer,
<v Speaker 4>I'll go on put a.
<v Speaker 7>What did you say, sir?
<v Speaker 4>You you ain't got floor here.
<v Speaker 7>We will dispense with the glass of water.
<v Speaker 12>Now, my assistant, Miss Florine le Sur will step into
<v Speaker 12>this cabinet on the stage.
<v Speaker 7>I want you to, gentlemen to watch very closely.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Sewer is now lying in side the cabinet.
<v Speaker 8>Is she nuts?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, very well.
<v Speaker 7>I close the list so I lock it with these bombs.
<v Speaker 7>And now I.
<v Speaker 12>Ask one of you, juentlemen to attach this padlock to
<v Speaker 12>the box you, sir, will you oblige me very will?
<v Speaker 7>I thank you?
<v Speaker 8>And now, ladies and judglement, before your eyes.
<v Speaker 12>You have seen mister Sewer enter a cabinet on this stage,
<v Speaker 12>a cabinet that has been bogged and cadrols. You can
<v Speaker 12>still see the duplicate cabinet and above me.
<v Speaker 8>By an attachment of wires and pulleys.
<v Speaker 7>I now count a one, A two, A three, and
<v Speaker 7>fire this revolver and the cabinet above me.
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, if you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we.
<v Speaker 2>Will lower the singling cabinet to the safe. You will
<v Speaker 2>notice that this is also vaulted and pad I will
<v Speaker 2>ask one of you two gentlemen to unbolted.
<v Speaker 4>I thank you, sir.
<v Speaker 7>And to this gentleman, are s your and the key
<v Speaker 7>of the paddock currently unlock it?
<v Speaker 1>Sir?
<v Speaker 7>I thank you, and now if you will both praised
<v Speaker 7>the leader of the cabinets, any ladies and gentlemen, is
<v Speaker 7>it Florine latour?
<v Speaker 4>Why did we have to leave homes?
<v Speaker 8>Was having a wonder who dies away? About something that
<v Speaker 8>was work to be done?
<v Speaker 2>Mister Holmes, if you want to go backstage, I'll introduce
<v Speaker 2>you to listener, sir, to spell.
<v Speaker 10>Before we do that, mister Travis, there's one important fact
<v Speaker 10>I want to know.
<v Speaker 3>What is it?
<v Speaker 2>Sir?
<v Speaker 8>I presume you'll have a.
<v Speaker 10>Dossier of the available facts concerning the spy.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, everything that we've been able to find out.
<v Speaker 8>I'm evidence. Do you buy any chance to have any
<v Speaker 8>pinkerprint records? Yes, sir, I do spend it.
<v Speaker 10>Then let's go at once to the nearest police station
<v Speaker 10>and compare the finer prints on this glass with those
<v Speaker 10>in your possession.
<v Speaker 4>Where did you get that glass home?
<v Speaker 10>You remember that miss less sewer before she entered that
<v Speaker 10>cabinet on the stage handed gamped off for a glass
<v Speaker 10>of water?
<v Speaker 4>You mean that for glass?
<v Speaker 8>Why else should I be carrying a drinking glass with me?
<v Speaker 8>Or chappen very.
<v Speaker 2>Neat, mister Holmes, and right under the nose of a
<v Speaker 2>magician too.
<v Speaker 10>Well, I'm not exactly ineptate the practice of a leisure
<v Speaker 10>domain myself, mister Travers.
<v Speaker 8>Will come on, let's have a talk with.
<v Speaker 13>That local fingerprint expert joby, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 10>A fingerprints on this glass you brought me out up
<v Speaker 10>the same as the one shown in this record?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Positive?
<v Speaker 8>Oh, absolutely send us as I thought.
<v Speaker 10>I'm much obliged to you, always glad to have a
<v Speaker 10>gentleman Mike you, mister Jones, thank you and good night.
<v Speaker 8>Come on travers Watson.
<v Speaker 2>So we should explain what you're up to home, So
<v Speaker 2>do I, sir, I'm completely in the dark.
<v Speaker 10>Surely it's obvious the only way Gandalfo's trick could be
<v Speaker 10>done by using twin girls dressed identically, of course, one
<v Speaker 10>in the cabinet on the stage and the other in
<v Speaker 10>the cabinet hanging from the ceiling.
<v Speaker 8>I don't know whether you noticed it, Wasson, but there.
<v Speaker 10>Were small holes drilled around the base of the box,
<v Speaker 10>undoubtedly to enable its occupant to breathe.
<v Speaker 2>By George, of course, that would explain why the girl
<v Speaker 2>I spoke to you didn't seem to know me or
<v Speaker 2>my brother when I spoke of him.
<v Speaker 8>M m exactly.
<v Speaker 10>And in any case, how better could a spy hide
<v Speaker 10>herself from a row where her employer, a magician, must,
<v Speaker 10>by the very nature of her trick and deny her existence.
<v Speaker 10>The question is which girl is the spy? This finger
<v Speaker 10>printess has given us the answer.
<v Speaker 5>You mean, it isn't a girl on the stage who
<v Speaker 5>one persisted Gandalfo.
<v Speaker 8>It certainly is not all well on.
<v Speaker 10>Your spy will be in the cabinet suspended about the
<v Speaker 10>stage at the Definshop Theater.
<v Speaker 8>At nine o'clock this evening.
<v Speaker 10>But this time we will watch the performance from the audience.
<v Speaker 12>Now watch me closely, ladies and gentlemen, there is no
<v Speaker 12>deception one A.
<v Speaker 8>Two A three.
<v Speaker 2>And now if you two.
<v Speaker 12>Gentlemen will currently help me, we will untie the ropes
<v Speaker 12>and lower the ceiling cabinet to the stage homes.
<v Speaker 4>We must never get away.
<v Speaker 10>Goody o jab keep your eyes skin. You're gonna have
<v Speaker 10>us prized for us.
<v Speaker 12>And I will now ask one of you, too, gentlemen,
<v Speaker 12>to unbolt the cabinet.
<v Speaker 7>I thank you, sir.
<v Speaker 12>And now if this gentleman will take the key and
<v Speaker 12>unlock the padlock, I thank you sir. And now if
<v Speaker 12>you will both raise the lid of the cabinet, I
<v Speaker 12>thank you.
<v Speaker 2>Any ladies and gentlemen, is missus Florie Lasser.
<v Speaker 7>Mister Sewer step out, please, mister Sewer.
<v Speaker 9>Come on watch just get him on the stage, bans
<v Speaker 9>your home. That's what happens here.
<v Speaker 4>You just missed the store.
<v Speaker 7>She's been injured.
<v Speaker 4>I'm a doctor. Let me look at.
<v Speaker 10>Her, and I'm afraid she's beyond the help of doctors Watson.
<v Speaker 8>Look at that bullet wound in my head. She's been murdered.
<v Speaker 1>We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
<v Speaker 1>a few seconds, So I'm just gonna make a very
<v Speaker 1>quick suggestion. If you like good food, who doesn't, You'll
<v Speaker 1>find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by
<v Speaker 1>a good glass of Petree wine.
<v Speaker 2>And Petrie makes wonderful meal time wines.
<v Speaker 1>If you like a red wine, you know, to go
<v Speaker 1>with any meat or meat dish, you really like Petrie
<v Speaker 1>California Burgundy. And if you prefer a white wine to
<v Speaker 1>go with chicken or fish, you couldn't ask for a
<v Speaker 1>better one than Petrie California's Turn. Remember those two wines, huh,
<v Speaker 1>Patry Burgundy and Petrie so Turned. They're Petrie wines, so
<v Speaker 1>you know they're good. And now back to doctor Watson
<v Speaker 1>and tonight's new Showrock Holmes Adventure, A Great Gandolpho.
<v Speaker 2>What happened next?
<v Speaker 5>Doctor?
<v Speaker 1>You just got to the part where you and Sherwock
<v Speaker 1>Holmes on the stage of a vaudeville theater were examining
<v Speaker 1>the dead body of one of the Great Gandolfo's assistants.
<v Speaker 5>You can imagine the excitements and tense the local police
<v Speaker 5>as soon as the theater and the obsten in charge
<v Speaker 5>of certain sergeant Buff see you take a very great
<v Speaker 5>personal slike to show up home.
<v Speaker 10>The great Sherlock Holmes comes out of retirement to teach
<v Speaker 10>our police force how to end the case started buff
<v Speaker 10>You're being ridiculous. I'm not trying to teach the police anything.
<v Speaker 10>You follow your own line of investigation and I'll follow mine.
<v Speaker 10>And supposing I say I don't want private detectives poking
<v Speaker 10>their nose into a police investigation, my good man, I
<v Speaker 10>shall report your conduct to the local chief of police
<v Speaker 10>and obtain the necessary permissioner.
<v Speaker 8>No need to get up to you about it, mister Owenes.
<v Speaker 10>But too many cooks spoil the bras you.
<v Speaker 8>Know of an extremely profound remark science.
<v Speaker 10>And now, if you will excuse me, I've work to do,
<v Speaker 10>and so have I and we'll see who gets to
<v Speaker 10>the bottom of this. First, I'm going to condolen post room.
<v Speaker 4>I'm worry about the dead girls. To insist he be
<v Speaker 4>looking for everywhere, no one seems to see her since
<v Speaker 4>the tragedy.
<v Speaker 10>Occurs, My dear Jaf, you would hardly expect her to
<v Speaker 10>reveal the secret of the cabinet trick by exposing the.
<v Speaker 8>Fact that the dead girl had a twin.
<v Speaker 5>But we saw there on the stage when the trick started.
<v Speaker 5>Seems to me that she is in great danger.
<v Speaker 10>She is in very great danger. I don't worry. I've
<v Speaker 10>taken the precaution of having her guarded. Oh, I'll explain
<v Speaker 10>that to you later. In the meantime, we have to
<v Speaker 10>work fast. It appears that Sergeant buff is out to
<v Speaker 10>try and show me up by solving the case first.
<v Speaker 10>That makes the second challenge I perceived today. Well, mister
<v Speaker 10>Elms and how are you getting alarm rended? Bit? Thanks
<v Speaker 10>and you beaten. I don't mind admitting it, I thort
<v Speaker 10>at first. One man it couldn't be was Gondarful because
<v Speaker 10>he was on the stage all the time. But then
<v Speaker 10>it seemed to me that he might have fired a
<v Speaker 10>live bullet when he shot at the box on the ceiling.
<v Speaker 5>The angle from the stage wouldn't go inside of a
<v Speaker 5>bullet hole in the bottom of the box.
<v Speaker 4>Sergeant, that shot must have been fired from the audience below.
<v Speaker 10>Uh, mister Orange, you know who did it, don't you? Yes,
<v Speaker 10>Sergeant I do. I wish you'd tell me, mister Olmes,
<v Speaker 10>it should be obvious. Sergeant, what can you examine the corpse?
<v Speaker 10>Please tell the sergeant your findings.
<v Speaker 5>The girl was lying on her back in the box.
<v Speaker 5>There was a small hole in the forehead and a
<v Speaker 5>large one in the nape.
<v Speaker 4>Of her neck.
<v Speaker 8>Exactly.
<v Speaker 10>And since the point of entrance of a bullet is
<v Speaker 10>smaller than the point of exits, it proves that you
<v Speaker 10>must have been shot lying in the box from above
<v Speaker 10>once the box was in position over the audience, and
<v Speaker 10>she could have been shot only from below, or.
<v Speaker 8>The girl had already been killed when the box was
<v Speaker 8>hoisted to the ceiling.
<v Speaker 4>Jo.
<v Speaker 8>Yes, and only one person produmber, only two? How do
<v Speaker 8>you figure that out?
<v Speaker 10>Mister und The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity
<v Speaker 10>as the Great Gandolfo himself.
<v Speaker 4>Of course he had.
<v Speaker 10>Now I see why you were having a watched, mister Es.
<v Speaker 10>If you'll excuse me, James Joser and begin to think
<v Speaker 10>it's a good thing you're on this case after that's
<v Speaker 10>very generous.
<v Speaker 4>A you started.
<v Speaker 10>And now perhaps if you will do me the favor
<v Speaker 10>of keeping an eye on mister Gandolfo yourself.
<v Speaker 8>Of course I will, Sir.
<v Speaker 10>Where are we going home to the Jolly Fisherman Hotel
<v Speaker 10>to call on miss lasour?
<v Speaker 4>How do you know she's here?
<v Speaker 10>I just received a message from young Travers. He followed
<v Speaker 10>her on my instructions as she left the theater. Come on,
<v Speaker 10>old there's no time to be lost.
<v Speaker 8>Ah, there you are, Trevor. Is Miss Lastsur is still here?
<v Speaker 2>I trust yes, mister Holmes, he's up in her room.
<v Speaker 10>I wonder if you'd mind asking her to come down
<v Speaker 10>and see me. I'm sure that we can talk privately
<v Speaker 10>in lounge over there, But.
<v Speaker 2>You are, mister Holmes, I'll go and get her.
<v Speaker 4>What are you going to say to mister sir Holmes?
<v Speaker 10>That depends on her attitude, Old Chap, come on, let's
<v Speaker 10>go into the lounge.
<v Speaker 4>Joey, it's the lucky thing that you heard her followed.
<v Speaker 10>It was an obvious precaution, Watson. You see, I realized
<v Speaker 10>from the very nature of the cabinet trick that miss
<v Speaker 10>Las Sir would have to leave the theater after escaping
<v Speaker 10>through the trap door below the cabinet. That was on
<v Speaker 10>the stage before her twin sister descended from the cabinet
<v Speaker 10>that was suspended from the ceiling. And she doesn't know
<v Speaker 10>her sister has been murdered her if she is innocent,
<v Speaker 10>she doesn't. And if she is innocent, then we'll know
<v Speaker 10>that our murderer is Gamdalfo.
<v Speaker 8>This comes up.
<v Speaker 2>I've told mister sure that you want to talk to
<v Speaker 2>a pride in, mister.
<v Speaker 11>Holmes, she didn't fact you want to talk about, mister Holmes,
<v Speaker 11>I had nothing to say.
<v Speaker 14>Magicians have a code of honor.
<v Speaker 8>You know I quite appreciate that fact, Miss La, Sir,
<v Speaker 8>won't you sit down?
<v Speaker 2>What do you want with me?
<v Speaker 8>I have news for you, news of your twin sister, myke.
<v Speaker 14>I haven't got her twin sister.
<v Speaker 4>My friend knows exactly how the cabinet trick is done,
<v Speaker 4>my young lily.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you might as well tell the truth, mister sir.
<v Speaker 14>Well, all right then, so I have a true sister.
<v Speaker 2>What of it?
<v Speaker 14>Nor prime in?
<v Speaker 1>That is there?
<v Speaker 14>What you're getting at?
<v Speaker 10>I want you to believe that I'm here to help
<v Speaker 10>my dear. You are going to need help and courage.
<v Speaker 14>What are you getting at?
<v Speaker 10>Come on, tell me, I'm started to be the bearer
<v Speaker 10>of the news. Miss Lasseur, your sister is.
<v Speaker 2>Dead dead humph, I don't believe it.
<v Speaker 8>I'm afraid it's true. She was murdered.
<v Speaker 14>You're lying.
<v Speaker 12>This is a trick.
<v Speaker 14>You're trying to make me give myself away.
<v Speaker 10>I'm trying to get up the truth. Your sister was
<v Speaker 10>found shot through the head when the cabinet was lowered
<v Speaker 10>to the state to night.
<v Speaker 14>H I still don't believe it.
<v Speaker 10>Why should my friend lie to How was your sister
<v Speaker 10>the last time you saw her for the convincement of
<v Speaker 10>the act?
<v Speaker 14>No different from any other time?
<v Speaker 10>It was responsible for superintending her entry into the cabinet
<v Speaker 10>gand lpher or me.
<v Speaker 14>She used to go into it before the performance, when
<v Speaker 14>the stage.
<v Speaker 2>Was dark and deserted.
<v Speaker 4>Did you help her enter the box to night? No?
<v Speaker 8>Dandalfho did you knew a cross of your sister's activities?
<v Speaker 4>Oh?
<v Speaker 10>Do you mean that she was engaged in espionage?
<v Speaker 14>That's not true.
<v Speaker 10>Very well, Miss for Suan won't be honest with me.
<v Speaker 10>I'm afraid I'll have to turn you over to the police.
<v Speaker 10>I think you'll find their methods are a little more
<v Speaker 10>crude than mine.
<v Speaker 4>All the police.
<v Speaker 14>Oh no, don't do do that, mister Roomes All I
<v Speaker 14>got tell you everything. Gundalfo got me so frightened of him.
<v Speaker 2>I was lying to you.
<v Speaker 11>I knew that my sister was working for him. I've
<v Speaker 11>tried to stop her, but she loved money and Gandolpho
<v Speaker 11>gave up plenty of that. They had a rowed for
<v Speaker 11>the show tonight. She knew you were on the stage
<v Speaker 11>at the first performance, mister Holmes. Gandolphod spotted you too
<v Speaker 11>because she was frightened, said she knew you'd catch and
<v Speaker 11>she wanted to run away.
<v Speaker 14>Gandalfal told her that she had to appear tonight, and
<v Speaker 14>they were still arguing about it when they left the
<v Speaker 14>dressing room. The dirtiest twine killed her because he was
<v Speaker 14>afraid to give him away and.
<v Speaker 10>Live till Vieto, my dear, the great Gundalfe will be
<v Speaker 10>beyond the help of magic before this night.
<v Speaker 4>Is Yes, you'll be behind bars he belongs fas.

<v Speaker 10>safely in prison thanks to you. And now he tells
<v Speaker 10>me you do want enough credit in the case, My
<v Speaker 10>dear sergeant, I'm really a bee farmer, you know. In
<v Speaker 10>any case, I want to retire your faith in private detectives.
<v Speaker 10>The next time you meet one, I'm sure you won't
<v Speaker 10>be so well so unpringdish, might I say? I'm mumble, sir,
<v Speaker 10>I'm very humble, and I thank you very kindly for
<v Speaker 10>all you've done. Oh and by the way, mister Elms,
<v Speaker 10>is this telegram arrived for you to the theater while
<v Speaker 10>you were away and here you are, sir?
<v Speaker 8>Oh, thank you Sargon brother. No, sir, it's me. They
<v Speaker 8>should be thanking you. Sir.
<v Speaker 4>Who on earth knew that you was the sirvit night?
<v Speaker 8>I soon find out.
<v Speaker 4>What does it say?
<v Speaker 8>It's from my brother microft Micraft.
<v Speaker 4>What's he going to say?
<v Speaker 10>Really, it's quite humiliating, that's all. He hadn't turned he
<v Speaker 10>wouldn't have to anytive never did leave his arm chair
<v Speaker 10>in London.
<v Speaker 8>Listen to this.
<v Speaker 10>I have just checked on Gandolfo's repertoire of magic tricks.
<v Speaker 10>You will find spy in box suspended from proceeding a
<v Speaker 10>theater elementary a.
<v Speaker 4>My dear Sharlocke, he really is amazing, as he.
<v Speaker 10>Is also a prophet. Old chair profit do you mean well?
<v Speaker 10>He indicates the handwriting on the wall. I'm past my
<v Speaker 10>prime and I'm too old for a list detection. It's
<v Speaker 10>back to me bee farm, old fellow, It's back to
<v Speaker 10>me besxactly. That was a swell story.
<v Speaker 4>I bet it was an interesting case to work one years.
<v Speaker 4>It certainly was. I've always had a fancip for the
<v Speaker 4>You know.
<v Speaker 1>What you really mean, doctor, is you always had an
<v Speaker 1>eye for a pretty girl. Blunt Fellows, Why not? I
<v Speaker 1>must admit I like to look at a pretty girl myself.
<v Speaker 1>You why shouldn't I like to look at a pretty girl?
<v Speaker 5>Oh, they're right ahead, and look by your father, go
<v Speaker 5>right ahead. You just sort of surprised me a bit,
<v Speaker 5>that's all. I never thought you gave a moment's consideration
<v Speaker 5>to anything but Petry wine.
<v Speaker 8>Now you're really pulling my leaf.
<v Speaker 1>You must admit I did talk a lot about petri wine,
<v Speaker 1>after all, doctor, it's worth talking about while the wine
<v Speaker 1>has such tradition, such a story behind it. Petrie wine
<v Speaker 1>is made by a family the Petrie family. They've owned
<v Speaker 1>and run their own business ever since its inceptions back
<v Speaker 1>in the eighteen hundreds. The Petrie family has been making
<v Speaker 1>good wine for generations, and they've been handing on down
<v Speaker 1>in the family from father to son, from father to son,
<v Speaker 1>the fine eye of turning luscious sun ripe and grapes
<v Speaker 1>into fragrant, delicious wine.
<v Speaker 2>And that sure adds up to a lot of experience.
<v Speaker 4>You can just bet your last.
<v Speaker 1>Dollar that no matter what kind of wine you want,
<v Speaker 1>when you ask for a Patrie wine, you're asking for
<v Speaker 1>good wine because Patrick took time to bring you good wine. Well,
<v Speaker 1>doctor hartbout giving us a cloone of next week Sharlock
<v Speaker 1>COM's adventure.
