He toured Europe in the 1930's and made fun of the Nazi's... they had him on the hit list when they invaded Denmark, but Borge was in Sweden playing a concert at the time and he and his wife escaped to Finland where the caught the last neutral ship to leave Northern Europe... The USS American Legion. He spoke no English when arrived in the US, but quickly learned enough to make jokes understood by going to movie theaters and studying English! His radio career began on the Rudy Vallee show.. then Bing Crosby's Kraft Music Hall.. had his own show... guest starred on Fibber McGee and Molly, Jubilee, Mail Call, and AFRS Command Performance broadcasts.

Adding another episode of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to Heirloom Radio. Tom Conway replaced Basil Rathbone as Holmes, but Nigel Bruce remained in this new series as Dr. Watson. Interestingly enough, Tom Conway sounded very much like Rathbone. Rathbone quit the series as he had done so many movies and radio shows as Sherlock, he simply tired of doing the character. The stories are still interesting today... so see if you can solve the crime before Holmes and Watson do!
