BLJOU-ttSherlock Holmes

If such thing were needed, new
impetus to the already strong popular
ity of HSherlock Holmes 8 was pro-
vided by the recent successful = revival y a-L
of that powerful play at the Empire
theater, New York city. S.
When "Sherlock Holmes" was given
it's exceptionally elaborate production
SO balanced was the cast that 1t
was anything but the purpose of the
management to single out any one par
ticular actor as being worthy Of special
favors in the uncenerts. Not
withstanding that the utmost caution
exercised in order to prevent such at
tentions being bestowed it soon be-
came evident that Enrol Dunbar's ar.
tistic portrayal overshadowed every
other consideration. The critics were
fully determined to do the right sort of
Justice to q well deserved stage en-
deavor, SO that before the season was
half over it was found necessary to-
give the name Of the leading actor
prominence in every direction. Enrol
Dunbar became full-hedged star with
out having made the slightest effort
otherwise than to eonscientiously play
his part.
The most profound and advanced stu
dent Of criminology, must admit with
perfect oandor, that the Sherlock

alton, has revealed the basehess Of hui
man nature in such an appalling light
that some of the nefarious doings
transcend every thought which may
have been aroused in connection with
the evils that Turk.
The followers Of the famous Doyle
detective stories must be impressed
with the logical conclusions, which his
hero arrives at and therefore the de-
auctions INDUCED in thru the medium
of his intellectual reasoning are of Sc
