Today I narrate William Gillette's thoughts on the art of speech in
stage acting. 

​
William Gillette is best-remembered today as one of the earliest living personifications of Sherlock Holmes, but he was much more than that. He was one of the nineteenth century's greatest stars, among its most successful actors and playwrights.

*S6, E1* Today I narrate Douglas Fairbanks Sr thoughts on World War 1 & The Liberty Loans.

For those wondering why Douglas Fairbanks Sr qualifies as a 'classic Sherlock Holmes actor', it is because he played the role of 'Coke Ennyday' in the Sherlock Holmes parody silent short 'The Mystery Of The Leaping Fish' (1916). It is for this reason that we are classing him as one of the classic, if not unconventional, Sherlock Holmes actors and a suitable subject for the Musings series.

With Additional narration by Justice Margowski.
