Sherlock Holmes - Mazarin Stone

From New York, the makers of footer craft floats for men, and 1036 leading retail stores

from coast to coast.

Like the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan

Doyle.

Sherlock Holmes is portrayed by John Stanley, Dr. Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the

dramatizations are by Edith Meiser.

Well, here we are again in Dr. Watson's study.

We find him seated in the large armchair in front of a fling fire.

Good evening, Mr. Harry.

Good evening, Dr. Watson.

Now, don't get up.

You're very comfortable right where you are.

And from the rightness of your cheeks, I'd say you've had a good day off in the country

somewhere.

That's where you're wrong, Mr. Harry.

I've been doing museums most of the day, and it's very tired and good.

I should think so.

But where did you collect the kindergarten, Doctor?

There was a piece of nephews of mine.

I was helping along with that education, you know.

It's a custom in my family that the uncles must take the nephews' museum visiting once

year.

I remember as a boy being dragged to miles of our galleries.

But, Doctor, weren't you ever taken to the British Museum?

Oh, yes, and to Madame Tussauds.

But the part of London was my favorite.

The bedroom took me there was quite a fancier, efficient stones.

He explained the history of every jewel in the crown's collection.

That must have been an education in itself.

They say every famous champion's a trail of bloodshed and high adventure across the pages

of history.

And, by the way, isn't your story tonight about a famous jewel?

Oh, yes.

That is what I'd be so strongly of my boy who'd visits to the tower.

The famous Mazarin Stone, I'm great to tell you about, had a history that would make your

hair curl.

And, me, I didn't think when I saw it as a boy that could ever hold that great yellow

beauty in my own hand.

Fritz, got it.

Did you, Doctor?

Oh, before I tell you that, Mr. Haddish.

Suppose I give you a few moments to say a few words about our sponsor's most estimable

product.

Thank you, Doctor Watson.

As you've put it, sir, it is indeed an estimable product.

So, Asteen, may I say that, beginning in 1948, over 1,000 leading stories from coast to coast

are clipper craft dealers.

To be exact, there are 1036 such distinguished establishments.

Those leading stories across the country are, of course, the key to the amazing value so

unique to clipper craft codes.

The 1036 leading stories are part of the famous clipper craft plan.

In this plan, their buying power is concentrated to affect tremendous savings in manufacturing

and distribution costs, savings which are old doors.

That's why truly fine clipper craft suits are only $40 and $45.

Why clipper craft top coats and over coats are only $40.

And sport jackets only $26.50.

Clipper craft values are truly out of this world.

Compare them with clothes selling for many dollars more.

And, now, Doctor Watson, let's get back to the story of the Master in Stone.

Yes, there, let me see where was I.

Oh, yes, I've been married some years and have resumed my practice when one snowy winter

afternoon, one of my calls took me a neighborhood of Baker Street.

I couldn't resist the temptation to drop in and find out for myself what my colleagues

fellow Holmes were up to.

And I stood there in a falling snow waiting for someone to ask for the bell.

I danced up at the window of his tree and there I saw the thin nose and satanine

features of the great detective.

He was apparently deeply engrossed in a book.

Eventually, the door was opened and there stood Mr. Hudson.

Well, this my soul is if this isn't the doctor.

Good day to you, sir.

It's a pleasure seeing you again.

Why, Mrs. Hudson, you're looking beautiful as ever.

You don't change at all.

Not you, sir.

You're in your blani.

And how is the good man himself?

Him.

He's in bed asleep, I think.

But I just saw him through the window.

So, that fool you too.

That's not him.

What do you mean?

Just you be going upstairs and find out for yourself.

I'm not the one to be given secrets away.

These are all Mr. Holmes secrets.

So, he's asleep in the middle of the afternoon, eh?

Yes, sir.

I suppose that means a case.

Yes, sir. He's hard at it now.

And he's getting thinner and thinner.

When will it be pleased to die in Mr. Holmes that I'll ask him?

Seven thirty the day after tomorrow, he'll say.

You know his way when he's on a case.

He'll decide, seem to remember.

He's a follower in someone.

Don't say.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yesterday, he was out dressed like a workman.

Looking for a job.

Today, he was an old woman.

Fair took me in, he did.

And Lord knows I ought to be in his way by now.

You're still his old woman's unbellied,

inning up against the sofa in his study.

Do you mean?

And what is this case all about?

Well, I don't mind telling you, sir.

But mind you, don't let it go any further.

Cross my heart, Mrs. Hudson.

Very well, then.

The case of the Crown Diamond.

What?

The hundred thousand pound burger?

Yes, sir.

And Mr. Holmes is getting it back for him.

Why, would you believe it?

Yesterday, we had the Prime Minister and the House Secretary

sitting on Mr. Holmes' sofa, both at the same time.

Why?

Hope it stood up into the strain.

And how did the homes behave,

to such famous persons on scouts?

Him?

He was very nice to them and put them right at their ease.

Windy?

Yes, sir.

Then there was old Lord Kant from here.

Oh, you know what that means?

Yes, sir.

Stephen, if I do say so.

I can get along with the Prime Minister

and I'm nothing against the Home Secretary.

He seems an obliging sort of man

with a civil tongue in his hands.

But I can't buy his lordship.

Oh, for fellow.

Yes, sir.

And neither can Mr. Holmes.

You see, he don't believe in Mr. Holmes.

And he's a gates employing him.

He's rather, he failed.

Does Holmes know that, do you think?

Yes.

Holmes knows whatever there is to know.

Oh, absolutely.

But I say perhaps I am better not waging.

I wish you were, sir.

He's not had a bite to eat since yesterday noon.

And therefore he has sandwiched with a glass of milk.

And I don't dare speak to him about it.

You know what he likes, sir, when he's busy on a case.

You're correct.

Well, suppose I go up and beard the light in his den, eh?

Holmes.

I say Holmes, are you awake?

Hmm.

He must be asleep.

Well, I'll go in anyway.

Hmm.

Same old place and the same old litter.

Scientific charts, chemicals, biolin.

Hypes, pickers, or Italy, pickle day.

Oh, oh, oh.

There's the old for himself snoozing in the armchair

if done to the window.

I thought I saw him from the street.

He just go over and tweak in here.

What's him come away from that window?

What?

Good gracious.

Holmes, you gave me a star.

I'm away from that window if you value me a lot.

Well, very well.

Well.

But I say Holmes, this is all very confusing.

Here I see you sitting in your armchair

and suddenly you pop out of the, eh, from your bedroom door.

Since when have you been twins?

Yes, it is, Robert, a startling like Mrs. Kniff.

Like Mrs. Kniff?

Yes, it's a waxed leaf job there.

I'm expecting to get a bullet

through its beautiful head at any moment.

Did you mind drawing the blinds

without exposing yourself?

All right.

It's better?

Now I can come into the room.

Yes, but why all this hoax pocus?

I'm being watched from a window across the street

by a gentleman with an unprecedented, efficient air gun.

Yes, watching you come at a critical moment.

Yes, sir, I gather.

How far am I justified in allowing you to share this danger

with me, I wonder?

Danger?

What kind of danger?

Sudden death.

I'm expecting something this evening.

Expecting what?

To be murdered, Watson.

He heard joking.

Even my limited sense of humor could produce a better joke than that.

Perhaps you'd better go while there's still time.

My dear Holmes, you couldn't get me out of here now

at the point of a revolver.

Good.

But sit down, sit down.

May as well be comfortable in the meantime.

How about a pipe and a glass of brandy?

They have to take the place of food these days.

That's why I'm not eating.

The facilities become refined when you starve.

Oh, but rubbish.

What's your digestion gains in the way blunt supplies

so much lost the brain?

Present, I'm all brain.

But this danger, Holmes.

His name is Sirius, that I write down.

Count MacGretto Sirius.

One, three, six, more side gardens, northwest.

What's that garden?

No, it's not.

Yes.

Good.

You are with my love and a parting blessing

in case the murder is successful.

Look, share Holmes.

I'm in all this.

I've nothing to do for a day or two.

You all have morals.

Don't prove Watson.

Now you've added fiving to your other vices.

You bear every sign of the busy medical man.

Oh, to blaze his with death.

I think...

Can't you have this fellow arrested?

Yes, I can.

That's why he's determined to kill me.

Well, then why don't you?

Because I don't know where he's hidden

the confounded diamond.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Hudson told me.

The missing crown jewel.

I've cast my neck Watson and got my fish.

About the use of catching them

at the jewels that do my fingers.

And is this count Sirius one of your so-called fish?

Yes.

The shark.

The other is Sam Burton.

Whatta.

He's the count's tool.

Sam's not a shark.

He's a great bullheaded gutter.

Come in, come in.

Oh, S Hudson, what is it?

Attentive and downstairs.

See you, sir.

Here's his car.

Count McGrennos Sirius.

Oh, well.

Sirius, the old shark is grasping the metal, eh?

Uh, that metaphor is a trifle mixed.

Show him up, Mrs. Hudson, what I ring.

If I'm not in the room, show him up all the same.

Yes.

Man of nerve, Watson.

Hmm.

Possibly you've heard of his reputation as a big game hunter.

What a triumphant ending who is sporting record

if he succeeds in adding meat to his bag.

This is proof that he feels my breath uncomfortably hot on his neck.

Look, why not send for the police?

Not yet.

Not quite yet.

Let's take a glance out of the window, Watson.

Let's see if anyone's hanging about it.

Yes.

All right.

There's one rough looking fellow near the bar.

That proofs Sam.

They fool the fatuous.

I hate up here.

Oh, this is serious.

I insist on staying with you.

But you'll be in the way.

In his way?

No, in mine.

Well, I'm not great much.

Very well.

We'll compromise.

You shall stay in the bedroom within call in case I need you.

Yes, but for long it's essential that this room be empty when the count enters it.

He's come for his own purpose, but he may stay for mine.

Hurry.

I think I hear his seven upstairs.

Oh, he's not in here, sir.

But what's your step in?

I'm sure to be back in a moment.

Many thanks.

And now you'll probably stay.

So then?

So, this is his den there.

His buckles and his papers and all the rest of his hopeless books.

Softly, serious, softly.

There's Old Lulcher himself asleep in his chair.

One lucky, so he is.

One tap from my gold-headed cave.

Don't break it, come.

Don't break it.

Hold.

You, quite.

I trust you were expecting someone else.

I see you've been barging my wax figure.

Pretty little things, isn't it?

Have any of you made it?

He's almost as good at wax works as your friend's carbon days and air guns.

Air guns?

What do you mean?

First, to a hat and stick on the side table.

Thank you.

No.

Can I take a seat?

Perhaps you'd like to put your revolver on the table too.

No, you prefer to sit high?

Very well.

This visit is most popular.

I want a few minutes chat with you.

Good.

I too wish to have some words with you.

May I ask why all these personal attentions?

Because you annoy me.

You'll put your creatures on my track with my creatures.

I assure you, never.

Not since I've had them followed.

I took a player that gave my friend.

Yesterday there was a sporting old gentleman.

Today it was an elderly woman.

You flatter me, Count.

Old Bernard and Dawson said that forty was hand.

But in my case, for the law of day, stayed at last.

And now you praise my persuasions.

Dear me, it was you.

You yourself?

Quite.

There's the old ladies umbrella.

You were gracious enough to hand-deck to me when we collided in the minorids this morning.

If I'd only known, I would never have seen this humble home again there.

Well, we all have our neglected opportunities.

You admit you have done there.

Why?

Who used to shoot lions in Ontario?

Well.

But why?

Why?

Are you smart?

The excitement?

The danger?

And no doubt to free the country from the pests, detect it?

Well, those are my reasons.

And I'm not sure.

You'll get it.

I'll show you.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

This is a novel is necessary.

When I shall save from your point of view it's quite essential, absolutly.

In short, there's only one thing I do not know.

And what is the missing fact, if I may inc-

Where is the crown diamond hidden?

It will do me.

So that's it.

Suppose I don't know.

The crown plant makes you obvious.

The absolute complete class.

I can see it's a very back of your mind really!

Well, then of course you'll see where the diamond is.

You know that, admit it.

I've been prof-ing for cum cum.

I admit it, I'm with nothing or come, come, be reasonable.

If not your pet, pet, pet, pet, pet.

Have you talked to me about love?

You see there's no book?

Surely.

You know what I keep in it?

No, I don't pretend to be a mind reader.

This book is you.

Yes, you, every move with your filthy, dangerous life.

You know, homes are a limit for my patience to hear.

All of it, the real fact in the death of Mrs. Harold

left you the blind at a stake, fabrication,

the complete light history of Mrs. Middie Wollanda.

You can't prove anything.

And 20 more.

Here's the robbery and the train to look to the Riviera

on February 13, 1892.

The forged check on the Cridilione.

No, you're wrong there.

Then I'm right about the others.

Now they come.

You're a cop there.

The other fellow has all the trumps.

Time to throw in your hand.

What connection is all this with the theft of the crown?

Your patience?

My dear fellow, patience.

I have the cabinet who took you to White Hall.

The one who drove you away.

I had the commissioner who saw you near the case.

That proves nothing.

I have I.K. Sanders.

I.K.

Yes, I.K. Sanders, who refused to cut it up for you.

I.K. has pieced.

I.K.

Oh.

White Hall, I get it.

If my act is the hand I play from.

Only one card is missing.

The easy time.

You'll never get it.

No.

Sit down.

You're going to be locked up for 20 years, you and Sam.

Perhaps longer.

What good will the diamond be to threaten?

None in the world.

Now we don't put you and we don't want Sam.

We want the diamond.

Give it up when as far as we're concerned, you are free.

If you behave yourself in the future.

My commission is to get the stone.

Not you.

And if I refuse, then it will be you.

And not the stone.

I think it might be as well to have your friend Sam

at this conference, he's waking outside on the street.

First you tap on the window in motion to come up.

Oh, Mrs. Hudson will let you let him in.

She's quite used to my receiving curious characters.

Very well.

He's correct.

Now what are you going to do?

I have a shock and a grudge in my neck.

Now I'm throwing it.

And up they come together.

You will never die in your bed homes.

Does it matter very much?

So you're stinging your crystal, my friend.

You wouldn't dare use it even if I gave you time to draw.

Might be the age of others.

Better stick to air guns.

Listen.

And at the very footstep of your friend Mr. Mutton.

Come in, Sam.

Come in.

Rather dull waiting the street, isn't it?

What's up, Governor?

It's all up, Sam.

Put it in the nutshell.

What's his code to either do?

Be funny.

I'm not in a funny mode, myself.

No, I expect not.

And I can promise you the tool for you.

Eat less tumour since the evening progresses.

Now the kiss, Sylvia.

So I can't waste time.

I'm going to bed room.

I shall play on my violin for five minutes.

At the end of that time, I shall return to your decision.

Do we take you?

What do we get the stone?

Now, where did I put my violin?

I have said this.

Five minutes, remember.

Flip or craft has a great reputation for fine quality.

That's what you go by when you choose your first flip or craft suit.

And once you've worn flip or craft, you learn how marvelously it stands up to hardware.

Very comfortable, you feel in it.

The long wear comes from fine materials and precision workmanship.

Your comfort comes from excellent fit, resulting from skill designing.

What will have made you is how so much as possible for so very little.

Remember, flip or craft suits are only $40 and $45.

Flip or craft top coats and over coats are only $40 and sport jackets only $26.50.

These are modest prices indeed for clothes, obviously, worth much more.

The great flip or craft plan, concentrating the buying power of $1036,

leading store across the nation, makes these remarkable.

In your own local independent store, the store you can trust.

Something expensive folds and inexpensive low paces at the nation's finest independent stores

is the great big idea behind the flip or craft plan.

That's why men who know insist on flip or craft folds.

So be sure to visit the Clipper Craft store in your city.

These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to add their names to flip a craft

in your suit, top coat and over coat.

In Manhattan, John Wannermaker men's stores, Broadway at 8th and 67 Liberty Street,

Sack's 34th, Broadway at 34th, in Brooklyn, Abraham and Strauss,

in two at New Jersey Boulevard men's shop, Kris Gignor,

and in Jamaica, the B&B clothes shop, 164.08, Jamaica Avenue.

Now let's return to 221B Baker Street,

where Count Silvia and his henchmen Sam are discussing the dilemma

while Sherlock Holmes, violin, can still be heard in the next room.

I do play pretty, don't I?

Oh, shut up, Sam.

Here, this is me that he knows about Stone.

He knows too much about it.

I'm not sure he doesn't know everything.

Good, Lord.

Ikey Sanders is split.

Oh, he has, has he?

Oh, I'll do my thing, but I see if I can.

Don't help us not know.

To make a bummer in there, I'll come out.

He's a leery coat.

What if he's listening?

How can it be with a violin sweeping like this?

There he is, sitting right in that chair.

It's only a dummy.

Yeah, hey, hey.

Well, strike me mad at his sword, ain't it?

It was a living spin, a bit tricky.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, shut up, you're wasting our time.

There isn't any too much.

He can jail us over the stone, and do she care?

But you'll let us go if we tell him where the stone is.

Why?

Give up 100,000 quid.

It's one of the other.

He's in there a lot.

Listen to him.

He's a bummed and ready.

Too noisy.

And never get away.

Besides, it's likely the police have whatever evidence he's collected.

What was that?

I was born, I heard something over there in the window.

I sat in the street now, slightly.

I'll look here, cabinet, you cut the brains.

If sluggish nobody's up to you.

Yes.

I fooled better friends of me.

The stone here in my secret pocket.

I could get out of England tonight,

cut it into four pieces of Amsterdam before Sunday.

You know nothing about that, Cedar.

But that false bottom line.

We must chance it as it is.

It's not a moment to lose.

That's for Holmes.

Full water rest to see if he can get the stone.

We'll clean on the wrong track.

And before he discovers it is wrong,

it'll be in Holland.

And we'll be out of the country.

Sounds good to me.

A one-year day carry.

We'll be safer.

Let's have a look at it.

See you out there, huh?

Well, I sat in Maddie.

I think I'm going to snatch it off you.

Now, look here, Mr. Arm getting federal.

We'll give it some time.

We can't afford it for all.

Right here.

Come over here to the window.

Out of the line of that keyhole.

Now there.

Hold it to the lake.

It is a beauty, no.

Thank you, gentlemen.

I'm not at home.

I thought you said he was a gentleman.

There.

He's not very suffering of you, come.

Are you scoundrel?

You feet tempered?

Temper?

No violent gentleman.

Please.

Consider the furniture.

These are waiting below.

But how deduced it is a second door

of my bedroom behind that window curtain.

I thought the gate was up where you heard me

to space the man.

You.

Come on.

I believe you're the devil himself.

You better meet him.

Ah, but here are our friends from Scott and Yacht.

Take him away, boys.

Yes, sir.

But I say, I bet I'm swimming.

Petally still playing.

Why don't you, Sam?

Remarkable invention.

The gramophone.

Let's play.

Car now.

I know.

I know.

Let's it.

All right, Watson, you can swap that machine.

Hi.

Hi, Shay Holmes.

I've lost at least five pounds in the last half hour.

It had been official to your waistline.

Oh, the coming disgustingly plum.

Look at this.

Wait, it's the crown game.

Hello, what's up now?

Come in, come in.

Oh, Mrs. Hanson.

Lord, can't bring me up here.

What again?

No, do you ever let us alone?

Well, show him up.

He's up to begging your help.

Well, I must say, Holmes, you have also

many people in your household.

I ran into a group of ruffians as I was coming to the door.

Oh, that must be in the fellows from Scott and Yacht.

It's rather warm in here.

May I take your October coat?

Fight, come.

Fight, come.

Oh, the more I have known, take this day.

Doctor Watson will assure you that these sudden changes of temperature are most insidious.

Show hands off my coat and hand to keep it warm.

Very well.

I gave to see how your self-appointment of top is getting on.

It's difficult.

Very difficult.

Yes, I suspect you have found it so.

Every man has limitations.

Yes, I've been greatly progressed.

No doubt.

Especially on one point.

But perhaps you can help me.

You're blabbering my advice rather late in the day.

Still, I'm ready to give you the benefit of my opinions.

You understand we conduct this frame of case against the actual theme.

Once you have caught quite the real question is,

how shall we proceed against the receiver?

What would you regard as the final evidence against the receiver?

Are they actual possession of the stone, of course?

You would arrest him on that?

I certainly.

In that case, my dear Lord Cantolier,

I shall be under the pin for necessity of advising your arrest.

Oh, forget your self, Mr. Holmes.

I have no time for such childish jokes.

I may take with pleasure that I have never had any belief in your powers good evening.

One moment.

Actually, to make up for the buzzer in stone will be even more serious

to be found in a temporary possession order.

Oh, it is an intolerable.

Let me pass immediately.

Just put your hand to the right hand pocket of your overcoat.

What do you mean?

Do as I ask.

Well, I...

However.

I say, what's this?

It seems to be the measure in stone.

Where shames are, where shame?

Well, well, well.

It's my soul.

How on Sunday?

Well, I'll be...

Undoubtedly.

However, I really must apologize.

I never could resist dramatic situation.

I took the liberty of strutting the stone at your pocket at the beginning of our interview.

Well, well, well.

To say, and the will that is building it madly,

we are greatly indebted to you, sir.

In spite of your somewhat perversive sense of humour,

and I certainly will draw any reflection I may have made in your amazing profession apart,

how could you live detailed and wait?

I trust your pleasure in relaying you with our successful being,

some small attunement for my practical error.

Oh, yes, it will, sir.

It will indeed.

I can hardly wait to get the good word around.

The good day, Mr. Holmes.

Good day, Lord Kentrowmeer.

What soon will you show his launch about?

With pleasure.

And tell Mrs. Hudson I should be obliged to keep send up dinner for two as soon as possible.

One next story, Dr. Watson, and what a perfect climax.

Mr. Holmes always had an eye for the dramatic,

which remains the next week's story.

Did you say the next week's story is going to be particularly dramatic, Dr?

I didn't say it, Mr. Harris, because you interrupted me,

but I was going to.

Yes, next week I'm going to tell you how the five-year-old racehorse blazing a star suddenly dropped dead of old age,

and how my may youthful past in the game of rugby saved Holmes and myself

from a diabolical plot of our arch enemy, Professor Mariati.

The makers of pure craft clothes, and 1036 leading stores from coast to coast,
