THE GIRL WITH THE GAZELLE and APRIL FOOLS DAY NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

For American radio, the heroine of Holmes on the radio was Edith Meiser, an actress who loved the stories and was convinced they would make great listening. She scripted several Conan Doyle stories and took them around. Meiser entrepreneured a fitting sponsorship for the show herself, and went back to the network triumphantly. Beginning in the early 1930s, she single handed wrote the show for over a dozen years, first working from the Conan Doyle canon, and then continuing to create stories in the spirit of the originals.
