  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2014
    Jan 14 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 160th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where John Linsenmeyer proposed the preprandial first toast to Marilyn Nathan as The Woman.

Performing Sherlock: A Study in Studio and Location Realism Given his status as one of literature’s most popular creations, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes – usually accompanied by his faithful chronicler, Doctor Watson - has been less ubiquitous on British television screens than might be imagined. Having debuted in 1951, played by Andrew Osborn in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone (BBC), the Baker Street sleuth returned a few months later in the guise of Alan Wheatley for a series of six live plays. Viewers then had to wait until 1965 for a home-grown run of episodes,1 this time featuring Douglas Wilmer; when this production returned in 1968, it was Peter Cushing who donned the deerstalker. In 1984 Granada’s series saw Jeremy Brett injecting a seven per cent solution in the long-running and popular production, but following Brett’s death in 1995 there were few attempts to revive Holmes in the UK, and audiences had to wait until 2010 for the character’s enormously successful 21st century reimagining in the form of Sherlock (BBC, 2010- ), starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

This Act is in disuse and a remnant of colonialism, and should be repealed.

Therefore, the Central Government should write to the concerned State Governments recommending review of this law by the State with a view to repeal. The Central Government should also remove this law from its lists of Central Acts in force. This Act has also been recommended for repeal by the PC Jain Commission Report (Appendix A-5). 2.
