Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Sherlock Holmes "Adventure Of A Christmas Bride" (12-21-47)
Throughout\nthe early 1940's on American Radio, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce performed as\nHolmes and Watson, respectively, in several series of canonical and original\nSherlock Holmes stories. When Rathbone finally departed the role before the\n1947 season, Tom Conway played Sherlock Holmes opposite Nigel Bruce for one\nseason. After a change of networks, there were two more pairings: John Stanley\nas Holmes and Alfred Shirley as Watson in 1947-1948 and John Stanley and Ian\nMartin in 1948-1949. The stories were written by Edith Meiser, a self-confessed\nHolmes addict. At first she used Arthur Conan Doyles\xe2 original stories, but,\nafter the series outlived the original material, she created her own new\nstories. These were so well written that she was warmly praised by Arthur Conan\nDoyle\xe2s widow and son. First broadcast date October 20, 1930. Last broadcast\ndate September 4, 1956
