Sherlock Holmes

Is there one thing wrong with it?

You usually go broke before you win.

Look, take my advice.

Don't gamble.

You can't beat the laws of chance.

Next week, Mr. Bartell, I'm going to tell you of a strange adventure that Sherlock Holmes and I had when we were in Stratford-on-Avon many years ago.

It concerns an actor, a mysterious boating accident...

and several dead butterflies.

Sounds good, Doctor.

I'll see you then.

Oh, fine, but now, now, don't forget next week we're going to broadcast our program from the Paramount Theater in Hollywood for the Victory Loan Drive.

So if any of our friends are going to be in Hollywood, we'd love to see them there.

Just buy a Victory Bond at any store or bank on Hollywood Boulevard, and in return, you will be given your ticket of admission.

Better hurry up, though, before all the seats are gone.

Let's really buy lots of those Victory Bonds.

Let's finish the job.

Why do you shoo me away, Mr. Eccles?

Because that is a web, sir, that I do not wish you to fly into.

Why not?

Because of he that nestles in its center.
