Sherlock Holmes is a four-act play written by William Gillette and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, based on Conan Doyle's eponymous character. It drew material from the stories "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Final Problem", and A Study in Scarlet, pitting Holmes against Professor Moriarty and reinventing the character of Irene Adler as a new love interest named Alice Faulkner. This play introduced the phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson" and Holmes' curved pipe.Poster: Metropolitan Printing Company; restoration: nagualdesign
