Meriden Mag Autumn 2008 Meriden Mag Autumn 2008 Congratulations to our district councillor David Bell on becoming the Mayor of Solihull for 2008 -9 It is a great privilege to represent Solihull Borough as Mayor and an experience I know that I will always remember and treasure. It is an opportunity to really appreciate the hard work that takes place throughout the Borough by many thousands of volunteers who give willingly of their time to help others and the community in general. It really is reassuring to know of all this good work and it makes you proud to be a Solihull citizen. I know we think sometimes that we are neglected in the rural east but let me tell you that it is a perception shared in Castle Bromwich, Shirley and many parts of the Borough. I don’t think it is entirely fair but I do think we all need to feel an important part of this Borough and I will try to encourage this during my year of office. I hope too to encourage more volunteers to get involved and recognise those that receive very little recognition such as the 20,000 carers we have in the Borough some only children, but children who have had to grow up very quickly, as they are needed to help a family member through the day. By the end of our year of office I estimate we will have met over 16,000 people and attended between 500 and 600 different engagements. I will clearly have much more to tell you then. David Bell MrsCaroline Spelman MP visits Meriden Primary School Caroline Spelman visited Meriden Primary school in July to cut the ribbon on the new wildlife garden. It was made possible by a team of twenty-three bankers from Barclays Bank who cleared the area, made paths, enlarged the pond and put in benches for the children to sit and enjoy the wildlife. A story telling circle has been created using tree stumps and there is a place where children can leave messages. The project cost just under £4,000 mostly funded by Barclays’ Community Improvement Fund with the PTA providing the pond liner.

    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.

  • 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. 156 4th December 1995 Sir Robert Stephens died on the 12th November. We who treasure that wonderful idiosyncratic film The Private Life of SherlockSherlock Holmes were put in our place by the obituaries, all of which dismissed it as a resounding flop. Stephens flourished mainly in the theatre, and he did actually play Sherlock Holmes on stage, in Toronto in 1976, in the RSC production of William Gillette's play. Like his friend Jeremy Brett, he really hit his stride in the last ten years of his life, especially as Falstaff and Lear. He was knighted last January. Lady Stephens was among the many friends and family who attended Jeremy Brett's memorial service last Wednesday at St Martin-in-the-Fields. The Sherlock Holmes Society of London, the Northern Musgraves, the BSI, the ASH, the Arthur Conan Doyle Society, the Société Sherlock Holmes de France, the Poor Folk Upon The Moors, and other groups were represented at the service, which was organised by Granada Television. Reports appeared in The Times and the Daily Telegraph the next day. Philip Attwell notes that plans to broadcast a tribute to Brett have been dropped, though BBC TV showed The Private Life last night in tribute to Robert Stephens. (*Last week's late film was the Hammer Hound of the BaskervillesBaskervilles; the Radio Times claimed that "Holmes scholars" regard it as the definitive version! I'd suggest that the BBC's own 1968 production, with Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock, more nearly fits that description.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Not Your Grandfather's Sherlock Holmes
    d “nOt YOuR GRandFatHeR’S ­ SHeRlOCk HOlMeS”: ­ Guy Ritchie’s 21st Century Reboot of a ­ 19th Century british Icon ­ Ashley Liening Sherlock Holmes “has enjoyed the most vigorous afterlife of any fictional character” posits thomas leitch, adaptation scholar and author of Film Adaptation and Its Discontents (leitch 207). Indeed, a franchise has been built around Sir arthur Conan doyle’s quirky detective, so much so that Sherlock Holmes has become one of the most adapted literary figures of all time, outnumbered only by Frankenstein’s monster, tarzan, and dracula (207). Clare Parody asserts, “Franchise practice has produced and surrounded some of the highest grossing and best-known fictional texts, characters, plots, and worlds of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,” and Sherlock Holmes is no exception (211). From 1900 till the present day, Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by “nearly 100 actors, in over 200 films, from more than a dozen different countries,” and it does not appear like “Sir arthur Conan doyle’s violin- playing, pipe-smoking, cocaine-injecting sleuth” is going any- where anytime soon (Cook 31). In fact, the twenty-first century has experienced a resurgence in more “straightforward” Holmes adaptations, namely bbC’s Sherlock (2010), which aired in three ninety-minute episodes and portrays a tech-savvy twenty-first century Holmes, and Guy Ritchie’s 2009 and 2011 35 ­ big screen adaptations, the latter of which will be the focus of this essay. I aim to explore the ways in which Guy Ritchie’s Sher­ lock Holmes (2009) adaptation, while inextricably bound to Conan doyle’s storytelling franchise, diverges from its prede- cessors in that it is not an amalgamation of other Holmes adap- tations.

Dollar checks should be payable to Jean Upton. The Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library (c/o George A. Vanderburgh, PO Box 204, 420 Owen Sound Street, Shelburne, Ontario L0N 1S0, Canada) has published an excellent collection of essays: FroFromm Baltimore to Baker Street; Thirteen Sherlockian Studies by William Hyder. The author cuts through the accretion of error and fantasy that has bogged down Holmesian scholarship since before the days of Vincent Starrett, and presents well-researched, well-reasoned and intensely readable papers on Holmes' musical ability, Watson's education and career, religious figures in the Canon, and more. His investigation of the Abernetty business and of what he calls "The Martha Myth" are models of their kind. There's really funny humour in "The Root of the Matter" and "The Detectives of Penzance", and the two short plays are so good that I want to see them performed ("The Impression of a Woman" is admittedly similar to David Stuart Davies' Sherlock Through the Magnifying GlassGlass, though neither could have influenced the other). Look, this one's really good, and every home should have a copy. It's a nice 216-page hardback, costing £15.00 + £2.00 postage. Cheques should be payable to George A. Vanderburgh.

    “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.

Hubbard. Dr. Hubbard, after presenting a silver bowl to Alvista Perkins in recognition of her outstanding service to the University, introduced Master of Ceremonies, Hal Kanter. Hal Kanter: My plan is to introduce some enchanting people who remember Noel Coward and who have graciously consented to share some of their memories with us. It was never my personal good luck to meet the man himself, but, like anyone who ever fell under the spell of magic he cast with his work, I remember Noel Coward, too. I remember him from my boyhood in Savannah, Georgia, where my parents introduced his published work in our home and I became his fan long before I could correctly pronounce his name. Years later, we moved from the Deep South - to the shallow North. (Laughter) And there, the fancy Yankees I ran into smirked when I said, Noel Coward. They pronounced it "Nul Cahd." (Laughter) But Coward or Cahd, the genius of the artist was that he could hold hostage the attention and the admiration of a sophisticated theater audience of British nobility, or a Park Avenue poseur, or a Georgia Cracker like me.
