Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Fun Fact: there was a form of Anglicanised martial arts self defence in the Victorian era known as Bartitsu. It was a mishmash of jujitsu, kickboxing, regular boxing,ect. that was popular with Victorian era gentlemen due to Arthur Conan Doyle referencing it in his “Sherlock Holmes” stories<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes1916" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes1916</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ArthurConanDoyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArthurConanDoyle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ACD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACD</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>Even though William Gillette was not the director, the assistant director (Essanay studio men Arthur Berthelet &amp; William Postance) or even the scenario writer (H. S. Sheldon) the crew from Essanay’s Chicago contingent followed his lead almost down to the T- including the use of theatrical tricks like “Pepper’s Ghost” projections<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes1916" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes1916</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WilliamGillette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamGillette</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFilm</span></a></p>
Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>What we think of when we imagine Sherlock Holmes (smoking robe, deerstalker hat, pipe, daring physicality, “Oh, this is elementary, my dear fellow”, etc) comes from his stage work. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SilentFlickerSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilentFlickerSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes1916" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes1916</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WilliamGillette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamGillette</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ACD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACD</span></a></p>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations<p>“And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence — 'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that.

Sherlock Holmes Quotations<p>“In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically.” </p><p>— Sherlock Holmes, in “A Study in Scarlet” </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a></p>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations<p>And that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honorable title of the woman. </p><p>— From “A Scandal in Bohemia” </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a></p>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations<p>“We have him, Watson, we have him, and I dare swear that before tomorrow night he will be fluttering in our net as helpless as one of his own butterflies. A pin, a cork, and a card, and we add him to the Baker Street collection!” He burst into one of his rare fits of laughter as he turned away from the picture. I have not heard him laugh often, and it has always boded ill to somebody. </p><p>— From “The Hound of the Baskervilles” </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a></p>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations<p>“You may place considerable confidence in Mr. Holmes, sir,” said the police agent loftily. “He has his own little methods, which are, if he won't mind my saying so, just a little too theoretical and fantastic, but he has the makings of a detective in him. It is not too much to say that once or twice, as in that business of the Sholto murder and the Agra treasure, he has been more nearly correct than the official force.” </p><p>— Peter Jones, in “The Red Headed League” </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SherlockHolmes</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a></p>
