Creme hair tonic and creme shampoo present the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Starring Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson and Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes.
Now for our weekly visit to the famous chronicler of Sherlock Holmes, our good friend Dr. Watts. Well, Doctor Watson, how are you this evening?
Oh, in the best of spirits, Mr.
Bell. Thank you. And you? Never better, thank you. And am I correct in deducing that that fated old newspaper lying upon your desk has something to do with the story you're going to tell us tonight?
Indeed, Mr. Bill. Here you are. London Times of September the fourth, nineteen hundred and three. Take a look at this.
Hmm. Judge's summing up to jury interrupted. Sensational solution by Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Yes, I think that you will find it equally sensational, Mr. Bell. It's one of Holmes's most dramatic cases, but uh First you want a word with our listeners. Go ahead, we'll Well I light up my pipe.
Thank you, Dr. Watson. Men, in summer when you go without your hat, does your hair get dry, wild, and unruly looking? After a swim, does it feel sticky and stringy? Then remember, Cremel Hair Tonic keeps dry, wild, sun-baked hair looking perfectly groomed throughout the hottest, stickiest day. As if your barber had just combed it. You see, Kremel contains a special combination of hair grooming ingredients which is found in no other hair tonic. This wonderful, natural-looking hairdressing has just enough light oil to keep hair neatly groomed with an attractive, healthy-looking luster. Yet Kremmel never leaves the hair looking or feeling greasy or sticky. Kremmel always looks and feels so clean on both hair and scalp.
It leaves the scalp feeling so cool, so refreshed and alive. Be sure to try it, men. K R E M L Creme Hair Ton. Now that I see you've got your pipe drawing to your satisfaction, Doctor Watson, how about the story you promised?
Well Well, Holmes and I just returned from a long anticipated holiday in Scotland.
Mrs Hudson greeted us with the news that a lady was at that moment awaiting us in our room. And as we open the door?
Oh, Mr. Holmes, at last, thank heaven. I beg of You must save him. He didn't do it. I know he didn't. And they'll hang him. They'll hang him. No one in the world but you can help him now.
Now, my dear madam, you must control yourself. I can't possibly help you until I know your problem.
Well, you You must excuse me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, my dear. You you drink this, it'll it'll make you feel better.
Oh thank you. I've been waiting for you, Mr. Holmes, praying for your return for days. You left no forwarding address.
I know. Doctor Watson and I had promised ourselves a real holiday.
I'm Edith Fermont. Evidently that name means nothing to you. You haven't seen the newspapers?
How does Dr. Watson describe the mysterious case that brings Holmes to London?
No, not for four weeks, thank him. Compose yourself, madam, and tell us what has brought you here. And remember that we know nothing beyond the obvious facts that you are in great distress and uh from your apparel recently widowed.
Well I I shall try to give you a clear account, Mr Holmes. You're my one remaining hope. Some ten years ago I married Augustus Fairmont. A marriage which, I frankly admit, was forwarded more by my parents than by any wishes of mine. I was then only eighteen. Augustus was more than twenty years older than I. He was a diamond importer, and a very successful one. Our marriage was Perhaps not an ideally happy one. But for ten years I I did my best to be a good wife to Augustine. Now, now, now, my dear.
Just just Please continue, Mrs. Beamont.
About A year ago, my husband took into partnership with him. A young man of thirty two. Charles Rothday. During the ensuing months Charles and I fell in love, Mr. Holmes. But I assure you that both my self respect And Charles's high sense of honour kept us from anything more than a declaration of that love. Oh, I beg you to believe that I'm telling you the entire truth.
