Jt Detective stories are, when skillfully told, fascinating. From the days when Old Sleuth so completely filled the sympathetic landscape of susceptible youth the detective has stood upon a pedestal of appreciative importance. When Conan Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes he gave us nothing essentially new except in the application of details. In general outline "Sherlock Holmes is only a composite picture of his many predecessors, but, in the application of methods and the almost intuitive processes by which causes are traced back to their efforts, the detective of Conon Doyle is charmingly isolated from the rest of his professional brothers. It is somewhat surprising, however, that the Sherlock Holmes of Conan Doyle and the Sherlock Holmes of William Gillette have nothing in common but the name. The literary hero and the dramatic hero do not figure in the same episodes. Mr. MISS. ADA PATTERSON. Gillette makes his "Sherlock Holmes the center of dramatic events, which the ambition to leave the Truth this week presents to its readthe pen of Conan Doyle.

But Gillettes success, however, is not to be denied, notwithstanding his title to the drama under the name of Sherlock Holmes is questionable if not misleading. Much of this success arises from the handling of scenic effects and accessories. By a combination of electrical devices, in which lights and shadows are felt as if they were palpable substances, the strings of ones nervous system vibrate with vague anticipations.
