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 it's time for our weekly visit to Sherlock Holmes' famous colleague, our good friend, Dr. Watson. Good evening, Dr. Watson. Good evening, Mr. Bell. Sit down and make yourself comfortable.
I'm glad to see you.
It's always good to see you, Dr. Watson. And judging from the confusion of papers on your desk and the open dispatch box, I deduce that you have a story for us.
Absolutely correct, Mr. Bell. I can see that your powers of observation are improving through association with me.
I've been looking forward eagerly to this story. The Adventure of the Submerged Nobleman, I believe you called it.
Extremely odd title. But a most accurate one, my dear chap, as you will see. But first, I know that you're anxious for a word with our listeners.
Yes, Dr. Watson, I am. I'd like to tell our listeners about a modern trend in hair grooming that's in such great demand today among men who value their appearance. It's called cremel hair tonic. Cremel keeps hair handsomely groomed from morning until night, just the way you combed it in the morning. This is because cremel 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 perfectly groomed with an attractive, healthy-looking luster. Yet Kreml never leaves the hair looking or feeling greasy or sticky. Kreml always looks and feels so clean on both hair and scalp. A nationwide favorite among America's top flight executives and most successful men.
Be sure to try it. K-R-E-M-L, Kreml Hair Tonic. Now, Dr. Watson, you have my complete attention for the adventure of the submerged nobleman. The floor is yours.
Well, that strange affair took place many years ago. Holmes and I had been spending several days at the seaside resort of Brighton late in July, but not for pleasure, as you might think. We had been concerning ourselves with a most peculiar crime, and only that morning had successfully concluded the affair of the politician, the lighthouse, and the train cormorant. With a few hours to waste before returning to Baker Street, I persuaded Holmes to join me, much against his will, for a stroll along the front by the sea. You must admit, Holmes, that the first sea breezes are most delightful after the way that we've been cooped up these last few days. I find them more so, Watson, if they were not quite so heavily laden with the odors of cheap peppermint and the sound of even cheaper music.
Oh, come, come, my dear fellow.
England's playground, you know. That's all very well, Watson, but I do wish the members of the younger generation wouldn't select my feet to play on. Look over there, Holmes.
Down on that pier. Sailing boats for hire. Oh, we've several hours. Now, I'll wager that I haven't forgotten my boyhood skill with a small boat.
What about it? Well, at least the sea has the advantage of being comparatively uncrowded. Lead on, Watson.
I must congratulate you, Watson, on your skillful handling of our craft. You reveal a talent I didn't know you possessed.
I haven't done it for years. I don't seem to have lost the knack, though, do I? How far are we from shore? About two miles, I suppose. The wind's rising, too. I think we'd better put about. Now, watch your head, Holmes.
I say, Watson, that boat over there a few hundred yards off, isn't it behaving rather oddly?
Certainly is. Probably some weekend trippers who never sailed a boat before. The silly fools don't look out, they'll... They're signaling us.
See that woman waving? She looks frantic. She's pointing a stern.
Hold hard, Holmes. We run up to them in this pack. But I'm afraid it'll be wet going...
There are two women, Watson.
One of them's standing up. Silly fool. She's liable to have the boat over if she isn't careful.
