Summary

Description

Photograph of a scene from Charles Frohman's Broadway production of Sherlock Holmes starring, from left, George Wessells (Professor Moriarty) and William Gillette (Sherlock Holmes)

Caption reads as follows:
A flesh-and-blood Holmes, in person of William Gillette, gets the drop on his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, on Garrick stage in 1899. The play took many liberties with original Doyle stories, but New York theatergoers didn't mind because Gillette seemed to fit exactly their ideal of the master detective. In this scene, Gillette, in brocaded dressing gown and embroidered carpet slippers, has just told "the most dangerous man in London," with commendable British aplomb, "I can spare you five minutes if you have anything to say."
