On October 20, 1930, Gillette performed the first serial radio-version of Sherlock Holmes: ''The Adventure of the Speckled Band''. It was based on the original theater version by Conan Doyle, re-adapted by Edith Meiser, and was the first time Holmes was portrayed on radio as part of a continuing series. It was transmitted by WEAF-NBC (New York) and sponsored by George Washington Coffee. This show became the pilot of a series and, after [[William Gillette]], [[Richard Gordon]] took over the part for the remaining 34 programs in the series.<br />
