William Gillette's Silent Film SHERLOCK HOLMES to Be Screened in Bethesda, 9/26
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.
The Red Circle of Washington, the local Sherlock Holmes society, has arranged a theater screening of the film on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 10:00 am at the Bethesda Row Cinema, offering a chance for people to see the film in a theater, the way their parents and grandparents did.
Details on the event, and a link to the box office, are available at www.redcircledc.org.
