Mr. William Gillette in "Sherlock Holmes."
The greatest of modern detectives, "Sherlock Holmes," will be introduced to the Prince of Wales Theatre next week by Mr. William Gillette, the famous American actor.
We all know Sherlock Holmes as presented by Dr. Conan Doyle. But this stage play deals with a "hitherto unpublished episode" of his career, wherein a certain charming young lady named Alice Faulkner is concerned. Following his notable success in America, Mr. Gillette recently finished a long and profitable season at the London Lyceum, and is now prospering in the provinces before returning for another extended run of the piece in his own land.
He will be supported at the Prince of Wales Theatre by a strong company, including Mr. W. L. Abingdon, Mr. Percy Lyndal, and Miss Amy Betteley.
Once more to the Grand Theatre comes that lively musical comedy "Morocco Bound."
Melodrama reigns at the Queen's and Imperial, while Aston offers "The Rich and Poor of London." R. G. Knowles will be the bright particular star of the Empire. The Frantz Family of acrobats hold first place on the Gaiety bill. An entertaining list is being arranged for the Tivoli.
The Band of the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons will be heard at the Bingley Hall Exhibition. Miss Winifred Maude's company is to visit Dudley Opera House with "The Convict."
