File:Charles Frohman presents William Gillette in his new four act drama, Sherlock Holmes (LOC var 1364) (edit).jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Charles Frohman presents William Gillette in his new four act drama, Sherlock Holmes (LOC var 1364) (edit).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 17, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-11-17. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:22, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
Elementary, my dear Watson
[edit]The article says Gillette's Holmes speaks the line "Oh, this is elementary, my dear Watson" and cites two books as sources. I don't have access to those books so I can't check, but the first of the external links has the whole script of the play, and the line isn't in the script at all. The closest to that is "HOLMES: Ho! (Sneer.) Elementary! The child’s play of deduction!" in the second act. --Newblackwhite (talk) 18:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
See Conan Doyle and an Anglo-Irish Quarrel, Jane Stanford, Carrowmore. 2017, pps.62-63.Professor Moriarty is inspired by John O'Connor Power, Fenian Leader, President of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, 1882-92. His brother, Robert, was a significant figure in Clan na Gael. John is the doorkeeper, 'in the half-darkness', 'John is in the dark.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maelfreda (talk • contribs) 08:57, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
The play's plot
[edit]I think the plot from the play itself should be included here as well. PremonitionalHuman (talk) 16:27, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
