    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 154 30th September 1995 Jeremy Brett died on the 12th September, not of a broken heart, but of an overworked heart. He had come to terms with his precarious condition, and knew that his only chance of cardiac stability was a heart transplant, an option he had considered and rejected. The cardiomyopathy was not correctly diagnosed until comparatively late, but it was this rather than his manic- depression that made his later performances as Sherlock Holmes so uneven, though the tabloids made the most of the latter. Jeremy Brett played Holmes in 41 television productions and one stage play. For more than three- quarters of the time he was a great Sherlock Holmes. In Pace Requiescat. The next issue of The Sherlock Holmes Gazette will be a Jeremy Brett memorial issue. Look out for it. Admirers of John Doubleday's famous statue of Holmes in Meiringen, Switzerland, will be pleased to learn that the sculptor has been persuaded to produce a miniature version in cold-cast bronze on a mahogany base. The height of the statuette, without the base, is 6½” (160mm), and the price is a maximum of £77.55 including VAT (plus postage of £4.45 = total £82.00). It's available from Albert Kunz, 20 Highfield Road, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6QZ (phone 01689 836256). Cheques should be payable to A. Kunz; they won't be cashed until the statuettes are sent out. As mentioned in the last DM, Calabash Press (Barbara & Christopher Roden, Ashcroft, 2 Abbottsford Drive, Penyffordd, Chester CH4 OJG) will issue its first publication on 15th October, The Tangled SkeinSkein by David Stuart Davies, whose first, very limited edition is no longer obtainable.

  • Elementary, My Dear Readers
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Elementary, My Dear Readers NCIS (which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is an extremely popular “police procedural” television drama that has spun off as a New Orleans series. NCIS: New Orleans, which airs Tuesday nights on CBS, is set in the Crescent City and it would be highly unusual if you haven’t seen the show filming around town. It premiered on September 23, 2014. The episodes revolve around a fictional team of agents led by Special Agent Dwayne Cassius “King” Pride, Special Agent Christopher LaSalle, and Special Agent Meredith Brody. They handle criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. If the NCIS team seems to be everywhere you look these days, allow yourself to travel back in literary time and imagine another famous detective team present all around you. Even if their bailiwick was late Victorian England, I seem to feel their presence all around this historic city. Perhaps you will, too. Arthur Conan Doyle penned his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, in novel form in 1886 at the age of 27. In it Holmes expounded: “Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed. His linen or clothes are examined and brownish stains discovered upon them. Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because there was no reliable test.

    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 145 18th October 1994 John Bennett Shaw ('The Hans Sloane of My Age', BSI) died on the 2nd October, of a heart attack, just a week before his 81st birthday. He didn't lose consciousness and was not in pain; death itself came suddenly and instantaneously. Much of the December 1990 issue of The Baker Street Journal was devoted to John's life and career as a Sherlockian, and a proper tribute should be that long. Briefly though: he was probably the world's greatest and most omnivorous Holmesian collector; he was responsible for starting more Holmes societies than most of us can imagine; he vetted applications to become scions of the Baker Street Irregulars; he had a taste for good food, good drink and bad puns; he was Big Brother in the most stimulating and comfortable way possible, and as such he had hundreds (perhaps thousands) of little brothers and sisters world-wide. He was irreplaceable. Another long-time supporter of this newsletter died recently, Mr L.T. Archer of Clacton-on-Sea; an elderly gentleman who was unable to attend the Society's meetings often, he was related to George Lusk of the Whitechapel vigilantes ('From Hell. Mr Lusk, Sor...’). Peter Blau reports that Robert Bloch died on the 23rd September; though he'll be forever tagged 'the author of PsychoPsycho’, he made good use in his stories and essays of his knowledge and love of the Holmesian canon.

    “WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Musicology – Master of Arts 2015 ABSTRACT “WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart Arguably one of the most famous literary characters of all time, Sherlock Holmes has appeared in numerous forms of media since his inception in 1887. With the recent growth of on-screen adaptations in both film and serial television forms, there is much new material to be analyzed and discussed. However, recent adaptations have begun exploring new reimaginings of Holmes, discarding his beginnings as the Victorian Gentleman Detective to create a much more flawed and multi-faceted character. Using Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original work as a reference point, this study explores how recent adaptors use both Holmes’s diegetic violin performance and extra-diegetic music. Not only does music in these screen adaptations take the role of narrative agent, it moreover serves to place the character of Holmes into the Romantic Genius archetype. Copyright by EMILY MICHELLE BAUMGART 2015 .ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am incredibly grateful to my advisor Dr. Kevin Bartig for his expertise, guidance, patience and good humor while helping me complete this document. Thank you also to my committee members Dr. Joanna Bosse and Dr. Michael Largey for their new perspectives and ideas.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina June, 2000 Approved by: _______________________ Advisor 2 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge several people who have contributed to the completion of this project. Elizabeth Chenault and Imre Kalanyos at the Rare Book Collection were instrumental in helping me with the texts in their collection. Their patience and professionalism cannot be overstated. Special thanks go to my advisor, Dr. Jerry D. Saye for supporting and encouraging me throughout the program. This work is dedicated to my husband, whose steadfast love and support keeps me going. Katherine Mary Wisser Chapel Hill, NC 2000 Katherine Mary Wisser. “The Creation Perception and Perpetuation of the Sherlock Holmes Phenomenon, 1887 – 1930.” A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. June, 2000. pages. Advisor: Jerry D. Saye This study examines the role of author, reader and publisher in the creation of the Sherlock Holmes legacy. Each entity participated in the inculcation of this cultural phenomenon. This includes Conan Doyle’s creation of the character and his perception of that creation, the context of the stories as seen through the reader’s eye, and the publishers’ own actions as intermediary and as agent. The examination of 160 Holmes texts at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Wilson Library Rare Book Collection provides insights into the manipulation of the book as object during Conan Doyle’s life, including such elements as cover design, advertisements and illustrations.

  • A Snapshot of Sherlock Holmes and the Stories That Made Him Famous
    Chapter 1 A Snapshot of Sherlock Holmes and the Stories That Made Him Famous In This Chapter ▶ Debunking the erroneous popular image of Sherlock Holmes ▶ Tracing Holmes the creation and Doyle the creator ▶ Reviewing all the stories that comprise the Holmes canon ▶ Looking at Holmes’s enduring popularity ry this experiment: Ask ten random people if they know who Sherlock THolmes is. Odds are they’ll say yes. Then ask what they know about him. Chances are they’ll say he’s a detective, he has a friend named Watson, he smokes a pipe, and he wears a funny hat. Some will even think he was real. What’s even more amazing is that if you were to try this experiment on every continent on the planet, you’d likely get the same results, demonstrating the grip that Sherlock Holmes has on the popular culture, even to this day. Sherlock Holmes:COPYRIGHTED Not Who MATERIAL You Think He Is The popular image of Sherlock Holmes is largely made up of clichés that have become associated with the Great Detective over the years. Some of these do come from the actual character as written in the stories, while others have come from the countless adaptations on TV and in the movies. But if you’re approaching the Holmes stories for the first time, you may be surprised at the person you find. Sherlock Holmes is not who you think he is. (And neither is his friend, Dr. Watson!) 005_484449-ch01.indd5_484449-ch01.indd 9 22/11/10/11/10 99:27:27 PMPM 10 Part I: Elementary Beginnings and Background Pop culture portrayal versus portrayal in the stories The common picture of Holmes is of a square-jawed, well-off, middle-aged, stuffy do-gooder who lives with an elderly, slightly befuddled roommate in a quaint London apartment.

  • The District Messenger
    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 152 29th July 1995 There's rather a lot been happening since the last DM came out. On the 1st July at Groombridge place, the collection of the Conan Doyle (Crowborough) Establishment was opened and a memorial unveiled by Georgina, the widow of Brigadier John Doyle. Malcolm Payne reports: "Dame Jean attended and was pleased to meet many old friends, visit the new home of the collection, and see something of the wonderful grounds." A great deal of thought and work has gone into the project, and it shows. A visit to Groombridge (the "real" Birlstone Manor) is a must. Meanwhile, an "unveiling ephemera pack" is available for £1.50, including postage, from the Establishment's Treasurer Richard Greep (The Limes, Bridge Road, Crowborough, East Sussex). Then on Monday the 24th came "the biggest thing for years", the auction at Sotheby's in Bond Street of the Stanley MacKenzie Collection. There had been a couple of important auctions in New York, but nothing like it in London since the Paget collection was sold 15 years ago. The star item, Beeton's Christmas Annual, 1887 went to an anonymous collector in Chicago for £20,700. Dealers, mostly American, were prominent, so no doubt we can expect to see individual items turning up in their catalogues. For ordinary Holmesians the problem was that, although we could certainly have afforded to buy any of a very large number of individual items, those items were lumped together in lots of up to 400.
