<br />
<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sleeping_Cardinal"><i>The Sleeping Cardinal</i></a></b> (better known in the USA as <b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022373/"><i>Sherlock Holmes' Fatal Hour</i></a></b>) is a 1931 film with Arthur Wontner as Holmes and Ian Fleming as Watson, serves as a loose adaptation of <a href="http://sherlockholmes.stanford.edu/readings12.html"><b>"</b>The Adventure of the Final Problem"</a> and <a href="http://sherlockholmes.stanford.edu/2007/notes1_1.html">"The Adventure of the Empty House"</a>. Like many early sound movies, the direction is still rather theatrical, focusing mainly on discussions in rooms rather than a more dynamic presentation.<br />
<br />
Details about how the film became "lost" can be found its <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/SherlockHolmes-SleepingCardinal">entry on the Internet Archive</a>, which also allows for embedding and (like <a href="http://www.publicdomaintorrents.net/nshowmovie.html?movieid=967">Public Domain Torrents</a>) downloading the film in various formats.<br />
<br />
But judge for yourself - is this a hidden gem ripe for rediscovery? A film that should have remained lost? Or is it just another one of many Holmesian adaptations that just simply needs to be enjoyed on its own merits?<br />
<br />
This mystery, dear reader, is entirely yours to solve....<br />

"Preposterous" [3GAB]

We have an update to share on <b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1515091/">Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows</a></b>:<br /><br />The latest movie posters have been released (on Yahoo! again), one each featuring Holmes and Watson. You may recall we made an update in July (<a href="http://www.bakerstreetblog.com/2011/07/long-shadows-trailed-down-houn.html">"Long Shadows Trailed Down" [HOUN]</a>) in which we shared the latest posters and the first appearance of the trailer for the film. You may see them again by clicking through to that link.<br /><br />The updated posters are equally as dramatic, featuring Holmes (again with a pistol) and Watson in profile, the former with the Eiffel Tower in the background, the latter with the Clock Tower behind him.

<br />
The world of technology lost a visionary yesterday as Steve Jobs passed beyond the Reichenbach.<br />
<br />
As you know, we cover the intersection of Sherlock Holmes and popular culture here on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. So you're probably wondering, "what could Steve Jobs possibly have to do with Sherlock Holmes?" You might be surprised at the answer.<br />
<br />
One of the earlier references we can find is that in 1986, Jobs purchased Pixar from Lucasfilm. That was the company that later became famous for the likes of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030IIZ4M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=B0030IIZ4M">Toy Story</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005JNS0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=B00005JNS0">Cars</a>, but in 1985 had already contributed film history by creating the first completely computer-generated image of a character in <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AUHPC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B0000AUHPC">Young Sherlock Holmes</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Last spring when the iPad launched, we covered the world of apps that were connected with the Sherlockian world in a post titled <b><a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2010/05/intense-application-blac_16.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Most Intense Application" [BLAC]</a></b>. We highly recommend taking another look at that entry, as there are some gems. Since then, many others have sprouted.<br />

There's another newfangled reading "experience" for the multitaskers among us. These days, the younger generation seems to be able to to 15 things at once - texting while watching television while working on the laptop while listening to music while ignoring a parent - so <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C*JE*kqZKe8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fsherlock-holmes-w-booktrack%252Fid455861970%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store"><b>Sherlock Holmes w/ Booktrack (Soundtracks for Books) - Speckled Band - Booktrack</b></a> was invented. Personally, I used to be satisfied with some <a href="http://www.bakerstreetblog.com/2007/04/composer-of-no-ordinary-merit-redh.html">classical music</a> on the grammophone while I was thumbing the pages of the Canon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGNDoa52YC80Li4u9k1Gqqc9kUQs7PfNFVYNelNRWz2LIZc6g67bos-CTEQrsccUIc_f89VevTgvdO-TSgGNqyWMRagbCOBYOYYSqYbvulmfANbcpISjkYXko4xDe4PI-JCgEfvLd5l5a/s1600/byook.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGNDoa52YC80Li4u9k1Gqqc9kUQs7PfNFVYNelNRWz2LIZc6g67bos-CTEQrsccUIc_f89VevTgvdO-TSgGNqyWMRagbCOBYOYYSqYbvulmfANbcpISjkYXko4xDe4PI-JCgEfvLd5l5a/s200/byook.PNG" width="200" /></a></div>
From a French developer comes another app called Byook, which is a multimedia reading experience. In this case, you can get <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=C*JE*kqZKe8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fgb%252Fapp%252Fs.holmes%252Fid415504589%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30" style="font-weight: bold;" target="itunes_store">S.Holmes</a> and with it comes shrieks, thunder, rain, other sound effects, animation and a real page-flipping experience. In this case, "The Speckled Band" is the subject again. It might be interesting to pit this and the Booktrack against each other for comparison.<br />
<br />
If these particular apps aren't your speed, again, you can check that original post (<b><a href="http://www.bakerstreetblog.com/2010/05/most-intense-application-blac.html">"Most Intense Application" [BLAC]</a></b>).

Episode 36: Michael Hoey and the Fabulous Faces of Universal

<br />
It's not very often that one has an opportunity to speak with someone who has a direct connection to a legend. In this case, Burt and Scott spoke with Michael Hoey, the son of Dennis Hoey -Inspector Lestrade to Basil Rathone's Sherlock Holmes.<br />
<br />
Michael Hoey is the author of <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1593936605/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1593936605">Sherlock Holmes & the Fabulous Faces - The Universal Pictures Repertory Company</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1593936605&camp=217145&creative=399373" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
</i></b> (affiliate link). In this fascinating book, Mr. Hoey focuses not on Rathbone and Bruce, but rather on the 68 men and women in supporting roles in the 12 Sherlock Holmes films that Universal Pictures produced in the early 1940s.<br />
<br />
Join us as a very special guest introduces Mr. Hoey, as Hoey reminisces about his visits to the sets of Universal, recounts many bits of trivia about the Universal series that we all know and love, and reveals some little-known gems.<br />
<br />
Mr. Hoey will be appearing at <b><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/g2b3.html">From Gillette to Brett III</a></b> in Indianapolis in November. There's still time to register - and if you click through to the link above to buy his book, you might be able to get it signed by Mr. Hoey himself.<br />
