The figure of Sherlock Holmes, born in the pages of The Strand Magazine in 1887, has proven uniquely suited to transcend the boundaries of print and adapt into almost every medium.
Orson Welles played Holmes on radio as well as Moriarty. His "Mercury Theater on the Air" adapted the William Gillette play on September 25, 1938--about a month before the more famous War of the Worlds broadcast.
