Today I narrate Eille Norwood's thoughts on his own take on Sherlock Holmes. From 1921 to 1923, Stoll Pictures produced a series of silent black-and-white films based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Forty-five short films and two feature-length films were produced featuring Eille Norwood in the role of Holmes and Hubert Willis cast as Dr. Watson with the exception of the final film, The Sign of Four, where Willis was replaced with Arthur Cullin.

Buster Keaton on Working with Charlie Chaplin on Limelight (1952 Film)

Today I narrate Buster Keaton's thoughts on working with Charlie Chaplin on Limelight, a 1952 film. For those curious, Keaton does qualify for my Musings of The Classic Sherlock Holmes Actors series, by having been the star and creator behind the film, "Sherlock Jnr." Charlie Chaplin, by extension, is also a Holmes actor too, having played Billy The Page boy in Stage productions for H. A. Saintsbury and then William Gillette.
