The Speckled Band
Mr. Dudley Bennett is to be congratulated on having secured this week for his Shakespeare Theatre at Clapham Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stirring play, The Speckled Band, which had such a remarkable run at the Globe Theatre some time ago. Sir Arthur as an author is both world-famous and unique in his methods, and unique is the word which best describes The Speckled Band, in which, besides the remarkable Sherlock Holmes himself, the author introduces Dr. Grimesby Rylott, a wonderful study of an Anglo-Indian of a peculiarly villainous type. The company, which is a strong one, includes Mr. O. P. Heggie as Sherlock Holmes, Miss Mary Forbes as Enid Stonor, and Mr. Bassett Roe as Dr. Rylott.
