like many others.

Sherlock
Holmes Radio:
Sherlock
Holmes, the quintessential super sleuth of all fictional
detectives has been featured not only in the famous
adventures written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but also in
films from the silent era to today, in television
programs, and of course in old-time radio from the
1930's to the late 1940's. While there have been several
actors who portrayed the famous detective on the air the
one that has become not only famous but synonymous with
the character was of course Basil Rathbone. He was born
Philip St. John Basil Rathbone on June 13, 1892 in the
city of Johannesburg, South Africa to British parents.
His distinctive voice, his English bearing, and his
ability to swordfight catapulted him into fame often
playing swashbuckling scoundrels opposite some exciting
leading male stars. For example, Rathbone played Sir Guy
of Gisbourne in The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Errol
Flynn), Captain Esteban Pasquale in The Mark of Zorro
(with Tyrone Power), Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (with
Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer). He also portrayed some
other remarkable characterizations such as the abusive
Mr. Murdstone in David Copperfield (with Freddie
Bartholomew), the hunchbacked and vicious Richard, the
Duke of Gloucester in Tower of London (with Boris
Karloff and Vincent Price), the Baron Wolf von
Frankenstein in Son of Frankenstein, the polished bon
vivant sleuth Philo Vance in The Bishop Murder Case, and
the RAF commanding officer Major Brand in The Dawn
Patrol (with Errol Flynn).
