Steven Doyle, BSI ("<i>Western Morning News</i>") is many things, among them half of the publishing team at Wessex Press and the <i>Baker Street Journal</i>. But more importantly for our topic on this episode, he's one of the sparking plugs behind <b><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/g2b5main.html">From Gillette to Brett V</a></b>.<br />
<br />
We haven't been able to make it to the previous four installments, so we asked Steve all about this conference dedicated to Sherlock Holmes of the stage, screen and radio. He shared the foggy origins of the show, along with some of his favorite moments from throughout the years, and even a special preview of the exhibit that will be on display there.<br />

Jack Benny and the Hound of the Baskervilles

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"I implore you not to do this, Jack" [YELL]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We've mentioned Jack Benny previously on our program (see <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose92">Episode 92</a>, beginning at 3:26). The legendary Hollywood entertainer's career spanned vaudeville, radio, television, and film, and he was noted for his uncanny timing.<br />
<br />
Part of the attraction of Jack Benny's persona was that he was always being upstaged by his co-stars Mary Livingstone (his real-life wife), his butler Rochester, his orchestra leader Phil Harris, his announcer Don Wilson, and even his violin teacher, Professor Le Blanc (played by Mel "Man of a Thousand Voices" Blanc). Jack was supposed to be a cheapskate who didn't know the first thing about anything.<br />
<br />
All of this was even funnier because in real life, Jack was one of the most generous people in Hollywood who knew everything about comedy there was to know (and quite a bit about music). A raised eyebrow or a slight turn of the head with a deadpan look at the audience could turn everything upside down.<br />
<br />
So imagine when Jack and his ensemble were able to stage <a href="https://youtu.be/rhf_soW72eE?t=8m43s">their own version of <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i></a> as Jack was planning to return to his hometown of Waukegan, IL. This show was originally broadcast on June 11, 1939 - just two and a half months after Twentieth Century Fox released the Basil Rathbone / Nigel Bruce version of <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i> on March 31, 1939.<br />
<br />
Check out the Benny Two Tickets for the Price of One players in this very different tale. Any sketch with Andy Devine as the Hound is required listening.<br />

Quick, Rochester—the fiddle!<br />

Remembering Basil Rathbone Co-Star Patricia Morison

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"trained as an actress" [SCAN] </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguq4wjfpvQQAtY4GiQH7Ct8gBMXz72nGDidf5qmwSR7TgjFHjddtcVLGcId1H3kIuHuTjPTS5Bh88VSgMmU3drSIcjZ1vd1rpNaySc-fz8W4lzi5NBWZi7NL4KKc_TTQWSvY0-AhMxlkCP/s1600/Patricia+Morison.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguq4wjfpvQQAtY4GiQH7Ct8gBMXz72nGDidf5qmwSR7TgjFHjddtcVLGcId1H3kIuHuTjPTS5Bh88VSgMmU3drSIcjZ1vd1rpNaySc-fz8W4lzi5NBWZi7NL4KKc_TTQWSvY0-AhMxlkCP/s640/Patricia+Morison.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Patricia Morison, widely remembered as the first Kate in "Kiss Me, Kate" on Broadway in 1948, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/20/obituaries/patricia-morison-dies-kiss-me-kate.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=mini-moth&region=top-stories-below&WT.nav=top-stories-below">has died at the age of 103</a>. Sherlockians, of course, have another reason to remember her.<br />
<br />
A trained singer and dancer for the stage, Ms. Morison made her Broadway debut in 1933, and was an understudy for Helen Hayes in "Victoria Regina" in 1935. Hayes, of course, was very close with <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose34">William Gillette</a>. She signed a contract with Paramount Pictures in 1938 and moved to Hollywood, which only lasted about a decade before she returned to the stage.<br />
<br />
But while she was there, she appeared as the femme fatale in <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038494/?ref_=nv_sr_2">Dressed To Kill</a></i> with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, the last of the 14 films that the duo made together. As Mrs. Hilda Courtney, Morison played an evil and capable villain who was adept at donning disguises and acting, in her efforts to recover a music box that held a key to the missing plates from the Bank of England.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcly8IiPRrt0DMEVWQtZn0kZoBwGYvq7qOnuBOdU079qD0bS5cAGA8QHfV-j5AqWLgfBY77EzqJ7FKoT-uDo3Q_BD1iLQcyiY0AFQVqGyQJPKxi9yVi6j-tdqdrGrD5IHOGftcIGlDHMf/s1600/Dressed_to_Kill+-+Patricia+Morison.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="800" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcly8IiPRrt0DMEVWQtZn0kZoBwGYvq7qOnuBOdU079qD0bS5cAGA8QHfV-j5AqWLgfBY77EzqJ7FKoT-uDo3Q_BD1iLQcyiY0AFQVqGyQJPKxi9yVi6j-tdqdrGrD5IHOGftcIGlDHMf/s640/Dressed_to_Kill+-+Patricia+Morison.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So effective was Morison in this role that when she visited Universal commissary for her lunch, still wearing Hilda Courtney's cockney disguise, Morison was <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038494/trivia?item=tr1410292">sternly ordered</a> by the maitre d' to eat with the rest of the extras at the counter, rather than at the actors' tables.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0qILka1Lz2U" width="560"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
By our estimation, Patricia Morison was the last major credited cast member from the Sherlock Holmes films from Universal in the 1940s. She will be missed by all who knew her and saw her performances, but her presence will live on through the magic of Hollywood.<br />

Baker Street Elementary – Sherlock Holmes—His Limits

"Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero" [FIVE] </h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>, we're getting to know Sherlock Holmes through the eyes of Dr. Watson. The good doctor noted some of the peculiarities of his friend and fellow lodger Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and he put together that helpful list that has defined what Sherlock Holmes was capable of.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<h4>
<i>Sherlock Holmes—his limits</i>.</h4>
<ol>
<li>Knowledge of Literature.—Nil.</li>
<li>Philosophy.—Nil.</li>
<li>Astronomy.—Nil.</li>
<li>Politics.—Feeble.</li>
<li>Botany.—Variable. Well up in belladonna, opium, and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening.</li>
<li>Geology.—Practical, but limited. Tells at a glance different soils from each other. After walks has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their colour and consistence in what part of London he had received them.</li>
<li>Chemistry.—Profound.</li>
<li>Anatomy.—Accurate, but unsystematic.</li>
<li>Sensational Literature.—Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century.</li>
<li>Plays the violin well.</li>
<li>Is an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman.</li>
<li>Has a good practical knowledge of British law.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<br />
As an aside, isn't it interesting that Sherlockians somehow always come back to that famous list when analyzing Sherlock Holmes? As if that snapshot of life at Baker Street dictates how the Great Detective would forever exist, frozen in amber.<br />
<br />
But we know for certain that such is not the case. Holmes became quite philosophical in his 'rose soliloquy' in "The Naval Treaty":<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion,” said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. “It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”</blockquote>
<br />
Watson himself was taken aback, but ascribed it more as naturalism than philosophy, noting that it was "a new phase of his character to me, for I had never before seen him show any keen interest in natural objects."<br />
<br />
Over the years, though, Holmes clearly became quite reflective. In the Preface to <i>His Last Bow</i>, Watson fills in the gaps from decades of their acquaintance:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"He has, for many years, lived in a small farm upon the downs five miles from Eastbourne, where his time is divided <b>between philosophy and agriculture</b>."</blockquote>
<br />
So, once again it's that confluence of nature and philosophy we witnessed in "The Naval Treaty." Where did Holmes get it from. Perhaps it can be linked to an early experience at Baker Street Elementary...<br />

Here's an idea we saw on Facebook that might be interesting.<br />
<br />
David Marcum posted a suggestion in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/sherlockstreet/permalink/1749744501748825/">Sherlock Street Irregulars</a> discussion group on Facebook:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"...a new World War I-era film, with Holmes and Watson in their 60's, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and David Robb."</blockquote>
<br />
We've always been impressed with the acting skills of Day-Lewis, and his physical appearance is near enough Holmes's. And <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0730191/?ref_=nv_sr_2">David Robb</a>, who played another doctor from the Edwardian/Georgian era – Dr. Clarkson in Downton Abbey – has the manner and bearing of a military doctor.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Recall that in "His Last Bow," which was set in 1914, Sherlock Holmes was described as "a tall, gaunt man of sixty," and that Watson – Holmes's peer – would have been approximately the same age. Here then, we have some examples of how Daniel Day-Lewis would appear as Holmes:</div>

We all owe a debt of gratitude to the more clever, adventurous, and tireless among us – because this is the profile of the Canonical chronologist. The most famous among them is certain William S. Baring-Gould ("The <i>Gloria Scott</i>"), but he was flanked by other greats such as Bell, Christ, Blakeney, Zeisler, Dakin and more.<br />
<br />
Add to that list one of our contemporaries: Vincent Wright. Hailing from Indianapolis, this intrepid researcher and proprietor of Historical Sherlock joins us to tell us why the dating of the Sherlock Holmes stories never gets old. He brings us along on the journey of a true researcher, shares a stumbling block, and posits how the future of Sherlockian chronology may lie in the standard template of a teenage book genre from the early 1980s.<br />
<br />
Vincent's speaking engagements are far and wide, and he's always ruminating on a variety of topics, either in private or on his blog. The passion he brings to this hobby is infectious.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Who among us doesn't like a good practical joke? Well, the obvious answer to that <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2018/04/baker-street-elementary-rhetorically-my.html#.WvBzYYiUvb0">rhetorical question</a> would be the one upon whom the joke is played. But let's stick to the other end of it for present. For we feel it is our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPxiXGr9nFM">duty</a> to share our findings with you.<br />
<br />
Practical jokes are typically pranks that are played on an unsuspecting individual, in the hopes to embarrass them or cause them some level of societal discomfort. So they're different and separate from jokes that are told for a laugh, where we find common humor and stories to bring us together.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Canon was Hilarious</h3>
While we don't think of the Sherlock Holmes stories as being the place where we might find such humor, there are a few instances of characters mentioning this form of joke. For example, in "<b>The Red-Headed League</b>," Jabez Wilson was put out after learning that the League was dissolved and that he had been bamboozled.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"...I want to find out about them, and who they are, and what their object was in playing this prank—if it was a prank—upon me. It was a pretty expensive joke for them, for it cost them two and thirty pounds.”</blockquote>
James Windibank claims that his turn as Hosmer Angel in "<b>A Case of Identity</b>" was merely a bit of fun: "It was only a joke at first."<br />
<br />
In "<b>The Five Orange Pips</b>," Elias Openshaw dismissed a threatening note and orange pips as "some preposterous practical joke." Similarly, in "<b>The Dancing Men</b>," Elsie Cubitt tried to assuage her husband's fears by pooh-poohing the stick figures as "some senseless practical joke, and that [he] should not take any notice of it."<br />
<br />
When his hiding place was discovered in "<b>The Norwood Builder</b>," and his scheme regarding John Hector McFarlane was laid bare, Jonas Oldacre feigned innocence, claiming, "I am sure sure, it was only my practical joke." And then later: "It was a joke, my good sir, a practical joke, nothing more.”<br />
<br />
John Scott Eccles, after waking in an empty house in "<b>Wisteria Lodge</b>," thought he "had been the victim of some absurd practical joke." And though he perceived that to be "grotesque," as he shared with Sherlock Holmes, the truly grotesque could be found inside "<b>The Cardboard Box</b>," as this newspaper article indicated:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Miss Susan Cushing, living at Cross Street, Croydon, has been made the victim of what must be regarded as a peculiarly revolting practical joke unless some more sinister meaning should prove to be attached to the incident."</blockquote>
Meanwhile, for the truly revolting practical joke, we turn to Baker Street Elementary...<br />

The program <b>I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</b> has evolved over that decade, but we're on a steady cadence of long-form interviews on the 15th and 30th of every month.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, over on <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/">Trifles</a>, we're engaged in something different: we have short discussions of about 15 minutes in length every week in which we talk about one or two issues that we've noticed within the Sherlock Holmes stories. It's an approach that we hope brings more people into our fold who are new to Sherlock Holmes and are fascinated with the details within the story, or who may have some questions about what they read.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now, on with the recap of <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/2018/04/">our April shows</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>April Update</b></h3>
Season 2 continues with some of the topics we mention in each show's introduction. Have you even noticed the rotation of introductions? The first week of April began with <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles66">Sherlock Holmes's Honorifics</a>, in which we tallied the handful of non-monetary payments he received in the form of awards or titles.<br />

<br />
And then in Episode 67, we continued our monthly feature "<b>Inside 221B</b>" that looks at some of the physical objects we find in the flat at 221B Baker Street. And so we got technical this time around and investigated <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles67">Chemistry</a>, considering that Holmes was profoundly informed on that subject.<br />

<br />
<br />
Our next monthly feature "<b>Unpublished Cases</b>" has to do with tales that didn't make it to the public and that Watson kept in his famous tin box. In this case, we decided to <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles68">See What V Has To Say</a> from some of the cases mentioned in "The Sussex Vampire."<br />

<br />
<br />
Finally, we notched <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles69">Occupations in the Canon, Part 1</a>, in which we delved into a few of the more unlikely jobs mentioned in the stories. When will Part 2 be published? You'll have to subscribe to see.<br />

<h3>
<b>Here's an Idea</b></h3>
Why not take along an episode of Trifles to your next scion society meeting? Or use one of the topics as a basis of discussion yourselves. Go ahead, see what it sparks. And by all means, let your fellow Sherlockians know about the show. If you like what you hear, please subscribe to <a href="http://sherlockholmespodcast.com/">Trifles</a> via the podcast provider of your choice, or to the email updates.<br />
