Now the scene is set for his greatest role. Someone is trying to murder Gillette and he suspects it is one of his guests.

The famous actor/playwright William Gillette brought Sherlock Holmes to life on stage in his own play in 1899, paving the way for hundreds of actors who have played the great detective since then. In 1916, when a touring company visited Chicago, Gillette starred in a silent film based on his play. The film, long lost, redisovered last year in a vault in Paris, and carefully restored, is now available once again, with titles in English and a musical score.
