[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir A. Conan Doyle]]'s "[[Sherlock Holmes]]" stories are always interesting, often creepy, and his latest play, "[[The Speckled Band: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes|The Speckled Band]]," produced at the Adelphi on Saturday evening, is melodrama of the most thrilling nature. [[Grimesby Roylott|Dr. Grimesly Roylott]], a man of ungovernable temper, who spent much of his life in India, had living with him two stepdaughters. One ([[Julia Stoner|Julia]]) died on her wedding eve, and with the aid of the immortal detective it was discovered that the doctor had introduced a virulent snake into a ventilator in the girl's bedroom, and it reached her bed and killed her. The photographs depict two scenes: Mr. [[H. A. Saintsbury]] (Sherlock), with Master [[Cecil F. Lowrie]], as Billy, his page; and Mr. [[Lynn Harding]] as Dr. Roylott, and Mr. [[Wilton Ross]] as Ali.

Photographs by Ellis and Walery.
