To whoever is responsible for starting this group "THANK YOU" !!
  
I also think Jeremy Brett plays Holmes exactly as I had imagined
Holmes to be. Watson (is it Nigel Hawthorne ??) is great too.
 
Grenada does a great job. One good one is the scene in the Devil's
Foot where both Holmes and Watson are almost killed by the toxic
fumes. Nicely done.

I thought it was the other way around, that Wilde sued Queensbury for
libel (I can't remember the exact wording, but I believe that
Queensbury wrote a letter to Wilde addressing him as "Oscar Wilde,
the notorious sodomite") and lost because Queensbury could show
that what he had said was true.  Following that, the legal authorities
tried Wilde for homosexuality.

I'm not sure of this, but I am sure that at Wilde's trial there was
testimony by male prostitutes against Wilde.  It doesn't make sense
to me that there should be such testimony if the trial was over a
libel by Wilde.

   Get _The Annotated Sherlock Holmes_, edited by W. S. Baring-Gould.  It's
a 2-volume work containing all the canonical Sherlock Holmes stories (56
short stories and 4 novels), with zillions of helpful footnotes, and a
goodly selection of both the original British and the original American
illustrations.

	Well...sillier things have been assumed in the past by some eminent
Sherlockians.  Rex Stout, you may recall, once claimed that "Watson Was a
Woman" (in a paper of the same name).  It seems pretty ulikely, though,
especially since Watson was married at least twice and Holmes makes
frequent references to his interest in women ("Now, Watson, the fair sex is
your department.")  And Watson frequently comments on the physical
attractiveness of some of their clients.
	I suppose you *could* claim that Holmes was gay, although it seems
more likely that he was simply not much interested in sex at all.  Baring-
-Gould postulated that he had an affair with Irene Adler and fatherred a
child who later grew up to become Nero Wolfe, but there's not much evidence
to support that.

No, I remember seeing it.  It was 1982.  HBO was not even 24-hours yet,
and came on the air in the afternoon.  I remember because I had built
a microwave receiver to get HBO in my dorm room at the U of MN, and
that was one of the first shows I was able to receive...

I wasn't impressed by him.

It was founded during the 1930s by Christopher Morley, a magazine editor
and author (best known for _Kitty Foyle_, the movie version of which 
provided an Oscar-winning role for Ginger Rodgers).  Morley was fond of
setting up clubs, and this one was an outgrowth of his Three-Hours-For-
Lunch Club (someone interesting visits magazine offices, so Morley calls
up his chums, and they all go out for food and drink).

The big annual BSI event is the Martha Hudson Memorial Dinner held each
year on a Friday near January 6.  The members all have nicknames drawn from
the Sacred Writings.  For example, one is known as the Giant Rat of Sumatra
while Isaac Asimov was known as the Incredible Worm Unknown to Science.

Started out very good, but Meyer performed a mid-course correction (I used to

This time he resisted the lure of the cinema, and Hollywood seems to have

There have been two actors playing Watson in the Granada series.  I by
far prefer the Watson appearing in, among others, "Hound of the
Baskervilles" and "The Sign of Four".  He is portrayed as the
intelligent version of Watson, while the other one (to be seen in last
night's "The Read Headed League") is more of a foolish type character
who hangs around Holmes like a groupie.

 Well, I find it pretty unlikely... she would have to have been lying for quite
a few years, from the time she was in Clannad onwards. This 'conspiracy' would
also have to have included her family telling fibs. Totally believable...NOT.
 I think this rumour probably stems from her tendency to supposedly 'boyish'
haircuts.

Hi.

I have been looking around for a recording of a very short choral work entitled

by Shostakovich.  If not him, certainly another Russian.  Does anyone know where
I might find this work?  It has been on my mind for quite some time.

It is indeed.  It's been available for several years.  It's on the Melodiya
label.  It's a very good performance and the sound is rather good for 
an AAD where the first A is done by Soviet engineers with Soviet 
equipment.  Not many audiophile recordings have come out of the old SU.

I think Mravinsky's performance of the Eighth Symphony on Phillips is about
the best performance of Shostakovich around.  Has anyone heard the recordings
recently released on Erato of Mravinsky playing DSCH.  Raves?  Warnings?,...

Thanks, 

James

Amen to the comments about Mravinsky's Fifth. Earlier I posted the same review.
Stay away from this one. If a one recording is above the rest it HAS to be
Rostropovich's with the Nat'l Phil, IMHO.
