	"[[Sherlock Holmes (play 1901 Broad Street Theatre)\|Sherlock Holmes]]," a melodrama by [[William Gillette]], is announced to be acted for the first time in this city, [[William Gillette\|Mr. Gillette]] and his company to appear in interpretation. As the title indicates, the play concerns the protagonist of [[Arthur Conan Doyle\|A. Canon Doyle]]'s well-known storiettes in two series, "[[The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes]]" and "[[The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes]]." [[Arthur Conan Doyle\|Doctor Doyle]] struck a new note in character-drawing in the inductive and deductive detective in this fiction; and many are the readers who have been thrilled by "[[A Study in Scarlet]]," "[[The Sign of the Four]]," and others of the series. For the purposes of the play. It is understood, [[William Gillette\|Mr. Gillette]] has been compelled to invent a new episode — or, rather, series of episodes — and to put [[Sherlock Holmes\|Holmes]] into objective action as the central figure. His running-down of the perpetrators of a big diamond-robbery is marked by a great deal of perlious personal adventure; and he has as his chief opponent the conscienceless [[Professor Moriarty\|Professor Moriarity]], to whom, in several of the stories, [[Sherlock Holmes\|Holmes]] gave credit for dangerous rivalry in astuteness and nerve. A love-interest has been provided the detective wooing and winning Miss Faulkner, who has been of a great deal of use to him in his successful sleuthing of the thieves. It is to be supposed that [[William Gillette\|Gillette]]'s peculiar methods as a player should find opportunity for effective expression as [[Sherlock Holmes\|Holmes]]. Gotham theatre-goers must have thought so, last season: for the play ran for months to what is declared to have been a succession of capacity-testing audiences. [[Maude Fealy]], [[Olive Oliver]], [[Ralph Delmore]], [[Reuben Fax]], and [[Frederick Truesdell]] are among those announced for [[William Gillette\|Mr. Gillette]]'s support. A matinee of "[[Sherlock Holmes (play 1901 Broad Street Theatre)\|Sherlock Holmes]]" will be given on Saturday afternoon.
