Actor <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0277975/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Frank Finlay</a> has passed away at the age of 89.<br />
<br />
Finlay portrayed a wide variety of roles across the stage, television and film, from Jean Valjean in the TV miniseries <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B002XK46FK" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="c62a6b9d4c101588a0ebfbcaed2b4044" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="les miserables miniseries" href="http://www.amazon.com/Miserables-Spanish-Import-latin-America-Depardieu/dp/B002XK46FK/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=c62a6b9d4c101588a0ebfbcaed2b4044&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7040877" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Les Miserables</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7040877" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=c62a6b9d4c101588a0ebfbcaed2b4044&_cb=1454472708902" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i> to Porthos in <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B005GJTLCS" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="9e9c976d1a5e97afa58b1e38dc5cad14" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="the three musketeers 1973" href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Three-Musketeers-Four-Revenge/dp/B005GJTLCS/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=9e9c976d1a5e97afa58b1e38dc5cad14&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_9926141" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Three Musketeers</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_9926141" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=9e9c976d1a5e97afa58b1e38dc5cad14&_cb=1454472655376" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i>. He got his start on the small screen in the mid-1950s and remained a television regular for the next decade or more. But it is his connections to Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that interest us in particular.<br />
<br />
In 1965, he starred as Iago opposite the legendary Laurence Olivier in <a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B000QGE8IS" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="fd04ce72072a279f1e2b622c3c888790" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="othello 1965" href="http://www.amazon.com/Othello-Laurence-Olivier/dp/B000QGE8IS/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=fd04ce72072a279f1e2b622c3c888790&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_4462624" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Othello</i></a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_4462624" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=fd04ce72072a279f1e2b622c3c888790&_cb=1454472628510" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" />, and in that very same year he made the first of his handful of Sherlock Holmes connections as he played Inspector Lestrade in <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B0048NRQH0" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="dd900740787765887a6d38fb48c9b782" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="A Study in Terror" href="http://www.amazon.com/A-Study-Terror-John-Neville/dp/B0048NRQH0/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=dd900740787765887a6d38fb48c9b782&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7764246" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Study in Terror</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7764246" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=dd900740787765887a6d38fb48c9b782&_cb=1454472613336" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i>, in which Sherlock Holmes chases down Jack the Ripper. Holmes was played by John Neville and Dr. Watson was played by Donald Houston. [Incidentally, Judi Dench appeared in the film as Sally; Dench would later play Mrs. Hudson on <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose69" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the BBC radio series</a> and was married to Michael Williams, who played Dr. Watson in that series.]<br />

<br />
But this was not to be his last association with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation. In 1970, Finlay co-starred with Sean Connery in <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B00D4OUSFG" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="8e61ee79c98323f148e9c38ccc68e4dd" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="The Molly Maguires" href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Molly-Maguires/dp/B00D4OUSFG/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=8e61ee79c98323f148e9c38ccc68e4dd&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_9899170" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Molly Maguires</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_9899170" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=8e61ee79c98323f148e9c38ccc68e4dd&_cb=1454474326371" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_6068149" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=afc15059f8de93de2ef2862abc39435f&_cb=1454474308996" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i>, a dramatization of the secret Irish group in Pennsylvania in the 1870s — the same group upon which <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="048644533X" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="60de16625a8dd521041877bc7a07ad4e" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="The Valley of Fear" href="http://www.amazon.com/Valley-Fear-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/048644533X/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=60de16625a8dd521041877bc7a07ad4e&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_681910" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Valley of Fear</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_681910" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=60de16625a8dd521041877bc7a07ad4e&_cb=1454474298573" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i> was based.<br />
<br />
Then in 1979, Finlay was tapped to return to the role of Inspector Lestrade in <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B00CLNVOQ8" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="485187bf8067a0eed5eefb9633dbfb04" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="Murder By Decree" href="http://www.amazon.com/Murder-By-Decree-Christopher-Plummer/dp/B00CLNVOQ8/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=485187bf8067a0eed5eefb9633dbfb04&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_834132" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Murder By Decree</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_834132" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=485187bf8067a0eed5eefb9633dbfb04&_cb=1454474289475" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i> with Christopher Plummer as Holmes and James Mason as Watson. Once again, Holmes was tasked with discovering the identity of Jack the Ripper, and in this case, it proved to be a shocking conspiracy.<br />

<br />
But we're not done with the Sherlockian / Doylean associations, oh no.<br />
<br />
In 1992, Finlay took on the person of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the television movie <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1722470/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_41" target="_blank">The Other Side</a></i>, of which we have no working knowledge. If we had to guess, we'd say it was a look at Doyle's commitment to spiritualism and how that flew in the face of his scientific creation, Sherlock Holmes. Incidentally, Holmes made an appearance in <i>The Other Side</i>, played by Richard E. Grant, who played Mycroft Holmes in the 2002 thriller <a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B000H2UGL4" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="e18102e5d3e24e95745c1a0dfa2b6db1" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="sherlock 2002" href="http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Case-Evil-James-DArcy/dp/B000H2UGL4/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=e18102e5d3e24e95745c1a0dfa2b6db1&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7590295" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Sherlock : A Case of Evil</i></a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7590295" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=e18102e5d3e24e95745c1a0dfa2b6db1&_cb=1454475902922" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /> with Vincent D'Onofrio as Moriarty and James D'Arcy as Holmes; and Grant played Jack Stapleton opposite Richard Roxborough as Holmes in <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="B0000797E7" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="52ca34967607e2d3c4c7defd0d713117" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="the hound of the baskervilles 2002" href="http://www.amazon.com/Hound-Baskervilles-The-BBC-Various/dp/B0000797E7/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=52ca34967607e2d3c4c7defd0d713117&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7919163" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Hound of the Baskervilles</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7919163" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=52ca34967607e2d3c4c7defd0d713117&_cb=1454475889332" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i> (2002).<br />
<br />
Finally, in 1994, the Granada producers tapped Finlay to play Professor Coram in an adaptation of "<a amzn-ps-bm-asin="6304025904" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="da5a9f5e20f976ed580e3f4b2817a225" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="the golden pince-nez brett" href="http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Holmes-Golden-Pince-Nez-VHS/dp/6304025904/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=da5a9f5e20f976ed580e3f4b2817a225&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_9312280" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Golden Pince-Nez</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_9312280" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=da5a9f5e20f976ed580e3f4b2817a225&_cb=1454474940196" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" />." This version brought Mycroft out of his lethargic path and paired him with Sherlock for an awkward episode (Edward Hardwicke was unavailable, due to being on location filming <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="0783113315" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="bcb02fc9932b1e33c7de92ac78437e26" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="Shadowlands" href="http://www.amazon.com/Shadowlands-Anthony-Hopkins/dp/0783113315/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=bcb02fc9932b1e33c7de92ac78437e26&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_871211" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shadowlands</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_871211" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=bcb02fc9932b1e33c7de92ac78437e26&_cb=1454474914036" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i>).<br />

We're gearing up to record Episode 90 of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, which will air on February 15. As it will be the day after Valentine's Day, we'll still have love on our mind, so our topic will be romance in the Canon — true love, near misses, the fair sex, etc.<br />
<br />
To that end, the our "Mental Exaltation" quiz (written by resident IHOSE quizmaster Nick Martorelli) on Episode 90 will be tied to love and romance. And our qualifying quiz below is an extension of that.<br />
<br />
<div>
If you've listened to NPR shows like <a href="http://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/">Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!</a> and <a href="http://www.npr.org/programs/weekend-edition-sunday/">Weekend Edition Sunday</a>, you'll know that there are opportunities for listeners to participate in quizzes. In the former, a guest typically plays on behalf of a listener; on the latter, the listener plays live on the air.</div>
<br />
Here's how Mental Exaltation works:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Each month, we'll post a qualifying question to determine a listener who'll play / be played for on the program. Winner will be chosen at random from all correct entries.</li>
<li>If you'd like to enter, you must <a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub&publisher=445106&sitescope=45933">subscribe to I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere by email</a>.</li>
<li>We'll either have a guest play on your behalf or we'll patch you into the show to have you play over the phone or Skype.</li>
<li>If you or your player succeed in passing the test, you'll win a random item from our I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Grab-Bag of Goodies (that's the IHOSE GBG).</li>
</ul>

When the Baker Street Irregulars finally made the watershed decision to admit women to its membership in 1991, Evelyn Herzog, BSI ("The Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet"), ASH ("Violet Hunter") and Susan Rice, 2s., BSI ("Beeswing"), ASH ("A Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with Some Observations Upon the Segregation of the Queen") were there. And yet the history of what led up to that moment is not widely known.<br />
<br />
From Evy's and Susan's perspectives, it began some three decades or more earlier, gaining momentum as they entered their college years in the Northeast and Midwest, respectively. And from the BSI's perspective, it was rooted in the traditionalism of a longtime leader. How the two vastly different outlooks clashed and eventually collaborated is what we discuss.<br />
<br />
We've had the pleasure of knowing Evy and Susan for—well, let's just say for longer than any of us can remember. Together we explore the history of their journeys and uncover exactly what it was like to be outsiders in a world that very much should have included them much earlier. The story of Julian Wolff, BSI ("The Red-Headed League") and Tom Stix, Jr., BSI ("The Norwood Builder"), the leaders of the Baker Street Irregulars at the time, is both complex and delicate, and Evy and Susan do them both justice in the matter.<br />
<br />
The history of the ASH is the subject of the 2004 Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual, and it its still available for sale. Also included in our interview are audio clips [courtesy of the <a href="http://bsitrust.org/" target="_blank">BSI Trust</a>] from the 1991 BSI Cocktail Reception, during which women first received investitures. And we might have another Easter egg for you.<br />
