We
were most saddened to hear of the passing beyond Reichenbach of Dr. Gordon Kelley,
a member of The Listeners of the Modern Mazarin Gramophone, and the author of
SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS CONSULTING DETECTIVE: BROADCAST AND MOVIE
LOG (1991) and SHERLOCK HOLMES: SCREEN AND SOUND GUIDE (1994). It has long been
our opinion that Dr. Kelley's Screen and Sound Guide is the best reference book
of its kind ever written. We often had the pleasure of crossing paths with Dr.
Kelley at both Sherlock Holmes gatherings and Old Time Radio conventions. Our
joint interests in both these hobbies led to our frequent communication and, over
the years, we came to regard Dr. Kelley as more than fellow Sherlockian and Old
Time Radio buff, but as a personal friend. We shall miss him very much. Condolences
to his family and other friends. |
Congratulations

Special
ordering arrangement; please read the following before viewing the products below | ||
Below we have listed a number of products with prices attached. If you see anything
you want to purchase, just email us at <sherlock@sherlock-holmes.com>
and tell us what item or items you are interested in. We will, then, post
on the internet a page from which the item can be purchased and email you the
web address (URL) of that page. This is sort of an unusual way to offer items
for sale, but it will give E-Times subscribers first shot at these "limited
availability" items. Generally, we only have one of each item, so sale will
be on a "first come" basis. BTW, for those of you who don't like to
send credit card numbers over the internet (although we have never had a problem
personally or with any of our customers) we have a toll free telephone # at 877

Here
is a collection of Scottish lads resplendent in kilts! This photo was sent to
us by our British friend, Hugh Scullion. He said that the photo was made during
a school trip to Elstree Studio to see a movie "Mark Sabre" being made.
He said that he now has no idea what "Mark Sabre" was about! Hugh also
told us about his own "acting career" that began, and ended, at Pinewood
Studios when he, and a few of his school chums, were summoned to be in a film
called "The Kidnappers" in which two young boys found a baby, kept it,
and named it "Rover" because they really wanted a dog. (Honest, this
is what he told us.) After rehearsing for three days, Hugh's part wound up on
the cutting room floor! Hugh is the second from your right in the back row. Hugh
has, subsequently, grown up. |
AND! |
A
sad thing! We were told, by our British friends, that it was three months between
the time Val Andrews died and his interment. It seems that no one came forth to
claim his body so the governmental agency in charge waited the required period
of time before making final formal arrangements. We have not been told as to the
actual disposition of Mr. Andrews's mortal remains. |
