Throughout
the early 1940's on American Radio, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce performed as
Holmes and Watson, respectively, in several series of canonical and original
Sherlock Holmes stories. When Rathbone finally departed the role before the
1947 season, Tom Conway played Sherlock Holmes opposite Nigel Bruce for one
season. After a change of networks, there were two more pairings: John Stanley
as Holmes and Alfred Shirley as Watson in 1947-1948 and John Stanley and Ian
Martin in 1948-1949. The stories were written by Edith Meiser, a self-confessed
Holmes addict. At first she used Arthur Conan Doylesâ original stories, but,
after the series outlived the original material, she created her own new stories.
These were so well written that she was warmly praised by Arthur Conan Doyleâs
widow and son. First broadcast date October 20, 1930. Last broadcast date
September 4, 1956.
