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. Well, it's Monday evening again and time for the weekly visit with our good friend and host, Dr. Watson. I'm sure he's expecting us, so let's join him, shall we? Good evening, Dr. Watson.
Ah, there you are, Mr. Bell. Drop your usual churn and settle down.
That's it. Thanks, Dr. Watson. And now, how about tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure?
I think it'll intrigue you, Mr. Bell, for in it, Sherlock Holmes once again crossed swords with his most famous opponent, the man whom Holmes referred to as the Napoleon of Crime. The redoubtable Professor Moriarty.
And who came off best on this occasion?
Supposing you let me tell the story from the beginning, my boy, and then you can decide the matter for yourself.
Right, Dr. Watson. But before you get too far into the story tonight, perhaps I might... Have a word with our listeners?
Of course, Mr. Bowen. While you're doing that, I'll get the pipe lighted.
So many men today who use only water to keep their hair in place find that after the water dries... Those stubborn hairs and cowlicks get out of place, and their hair never looks neatly groomed or attractive. Yet these men are reluctant to plaster their hair down with a heavy, greasy hairdressing. And who can blame them? That's why I urge you to try Cremel hair tonic. This highly specialized hair tonic has just enough light oil to keep hair handsomely groomed all day long. Every hair in place. Cremel gives hair a rich, healthy-looking luster, too. Yet it never leaves hair looking or feeling greasy or sticky. This is because Cremel contains a special combination of hair grooming ingredients which is found in no other hair tonic.
After you apply Cremel, just run your hand over your hair. Notice how delightfully clean your hair feels. Notice how no greasy film comes off on your hand or headband. And how the ladies admire that natural, well-groomed look which Cremel always gives. Yes, Cremel gives your hair a handsome, clean-cut appearance. As if your barber had just combed it. And it helps keep it that way all day long. K-R-E-M-L, Kreml Hair Tonic. Now, Dr. Watson, how about the case of the Harley Street murders?
Well, Mr. Bell, that story began on a December evening at the turn of the century. I had occasion to visit a certain doctor that night, I remember. And after an early dinner in Baker Street, I was able to persuade Sherlock Holmes to walk with me on my mission to nearby Harley Street. Holmes was never very keen on indulging in exercise for its own sake, and as we tramped through the frosty streets, his noticeably bad humor made me realize that I might have been wiser to have left him at home amid the material comforts of our flat. Finally, he turned to there. We should have taken a handsome cab, Watson. Why, Holmes? Not more than a ten-minute walk? A cab would have taken three. The remaining seven minutes might have been more profitably employed at home.
Rubbish. A brisk walk after dinner is good for the body to aid the digestion. My digestion is as uncomplicated as that of a horse. I've never been able to understand the hearty Englishman who believes that a resounding plunge into ice-cold water or running round Hyde Park on a rainy day in an attenuated pair of shorts are the obvious ways of inducing glowing health and a happy digestion. Personally, I think such asinine behavior is merely conducive to double pneumonia. Then why did you come with her? Because you said you were going to call on Dr. Ingleby. You're familiar with the name? Oh, yes. Then perhaps you'd be rather startled to learn that Dr. Ingleby is a woman. No, Watson. I was well aware of the fact.
Oh, you were?
How do you know?
How does Dr. Watson set the scene for the Harley Street murders and introduce Moriarty?
Because I read an article of hers in the current medical bulletin.
