Cremel Hair Tonic and Cremel Shampoo present the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson and Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes. Now, once again, it's time to keep our weekly appointment with that incomparable host and storyteller, Dr. Watson. I'm sure he's expecting us.
Of course I am, Mr. Bell. So come in, draw up your usual chair, and make yourself comfortable. Ah, that's it.
Thank you, Dr. Watson. What story are you planning to tell us tonight?
Quite an exciting one, I think. The only relic I have of it is this rather mildewed piece of paper. I came across it just before you arrived as I was going over my notes on the case.
Look, this doesn't look very exciting. It's a hotel bill, and all it says is board and lodging for one week, 28 shillings and sixpence. Then there's an extra item, one pint of ale not paid for, five pence.
And yet that extra pint of ale was ordered at the very moment when Sherlock Holmes and I entered into one of the weirdest experiences we ever had. I call it the adventure of the Sally Martins.
Before you begin the story, Dr. Watson, do you mind if I... Have a word with our listeners? Of course not, Mr. Bell. Men, if you want a successful, prosperous appearance, don't give your hair that cheap, greasy, plastered-down look. Many products advertise that they don't leave the hair looking or feeling greasy.
How does Sherlock Holmes begin the adventure of Sally Martin?
But let's make this test. Run your hand over your hair. Does your hair feel greasy or sticky? Now look at your hand. Is there a greasy film on it? If there is, then you certainly are not using Cremel hair tonic. Because Cremel positively never leaves the hair looking or feeling greasy, sticky, or dirty. Cremel contains a very special hair grooming ingredient found in no other hair tonic. It makes dry, unruly hair stay in place longer. Gives it such a nice, healthy-looking luster, too. When you use Kreml, you can run your hand over your hair and no grease comes off. Notice, too, how delightfully clean your hair feels. And just see if the ladies don't like that natural, well-groomed look which Kreml always gives.
Try it, men. K-R-E-M-L. Kreml Hair Tonic. Now, Dr. Watson, how about the adventure of the Sally Market?
Well, the story began many years ago in the tiny fishing village of Kingsgate on the Kentish Coast. At my insistence, Sherlock Holmes had agreed to take a much-needed holiday, and we were staying for a few days at a small seaside inn known as the Silver Dolphin. The adventure began, I remember, on a foggy, bitterly cold evening. Holmes and I, after a hearty dinner, were seated in the public bar of the inn talking to a garrulous old sailor. Little did we think that even in that peaceful village, dark tragedy was stalking us. tragedy that very soon was to be brought to our attention. Here you are, Albert. Another pint.
Thank you kindly, sir. Yes, you're very good, Elstead.
What an amazing disaster. That's the fifth. I can't think where he puts it. I see no mystery there, Watson. Go on with your story, Albert. You just reached the point where the shark had turned on you.
Well, gentlemen, I act on the rail and dives into that raging sea. Pulls out me knife.
Oh, really? Where did you get the knife?
I thought you said that you'd lost your clothes in the hurricane. Stepped to me middle, I was. But I always kept a barry knife stuck in me belt. Oh, really? How uncomfortable. Well, I see the white belly of the shark turning at me.
I let him have it.
A rip here, a slash there. Oh, there was blood all over the place. Never saw such a mess. Uh... Storytelling's very dry work, gentlemen. I'll order you another pint, Albert. Thank you. Can't be, sir.
Watson, look who's just come in. It's our old friend Sergeant Dobson, isn't it? Yes, and judging by his expression, the local representative of the law has serious business on his mind. Good evening, Sergeant. Good evening, Mr. Holmes.
