TOO MANY GIRLS

October 8, 1940

Too Many Girls was an RKO film musical based on the stage musical of the same title. It was produced and directed by George Abbott, who had also directed the Broadway production. The music was composed by Richard Rodgers, the lyrics by Lorenz Hart, and the book was by George Marion, Jr. although the screenplay was adapted by John Twist.

Too Many Girls opened on Broadway on October 18, 1939, at the Imperial Theatre, running to April 21, 1940, and transferred to the Broadway Theatre on April 22, 1940, closing on May 18, 1940. The cast featured Desi Arnaz, Diosa Costello, Marcy Westcott, Eddie Bracken, Richard Kollmar, Van Johnson, and Hal Le Roy. Musical Staging was by Robert Alton, scenery by Jo Mielziner, and costumes by Raoul Pène Du Bois.

The musical takes place in Skowhegan, Maine and Pottawatomie College in Stop Gap, New Mexico.

Synopsis ~ Connie Casey, an energetic celebrity heiress, wants to go to Pottawatomie College in Stop Gap, New Mexico, her father's alma mater, to be near her latest beau, British playwright Beverly Waverly. To protect her, and without her knowledge, her tycoon father sends four Ivy League football players as her bodyguards, Clint Kelly, Jojo Jordan, Manuelito and Al Terwilliger, who sign a contract with an ‘anti-romance’ clause. They also join the college's terrible football team, which immediately becomes one of the best in the country. Clint falls in love with Connie, but when she discovers he is her bodyguard, she decides to go back East. The bodyguards follow her, leaving the team in the lurch. The people of Stop Gap go after them, and they are brought back just in time for the big game. Connie declares her love for Clint, and he leads the team to victory.

PRINCIPAL CAST

Lucille Ball (Consuela ‘Connie’ Casey) was born on August 6, 1911 in Jamestown, New York. She began her screen career in 1933 and was known in Hollywood as ‘Queen of the B’s’ due to her many appearances in ‘B’ movies. “My Favorite Husband” eventually led to the creation of “I Love Lucy,” a television situation comedy in which she co-starred with her real-life husband, Latin bandleader Desi Arnaz. The program was phenomenally successful, allowing the couple to purchase what was once RKO Studios, re-naming it Desilu. When the show ended in 1960 (in an hour-long format known as “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”) so did Lucy and Desi’s marriage. In 1962, hoping to keep Desilu financially solvent, Lucy returned to the sitcom format with “The Lucy Show,” which lasted six seasons. She followed that with a similar sitcom “Here’s Lucy” co-starring with her real-life children, Lucie and Desi Jr., as well as Gale Gordon, who had joined the cast of “The Lucy Show” during season two. Before her death in 1989, Lucy made one more attempt at a sitcom with “Life With Lucy,” also with Gordon.

Desi Arnaz (Manuelito Lynch) was born in Santiago, Cuba on March 2, 1917. After leaving Cuba, he formed his own Latin band, and literally launched the conga craze in America. It was on the set of Too Many Girls (1940) that he and Lucille Ball met. They soon married and approximately 10 years later formed Desilu Productions and began the “I Love Lucy” shows in 1951. Desi and Lucille had two children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. At the end of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in 1960, the two divorced. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and died on December 2, 1986 at age 69.

Manuelito: “I'm not conceited. I am the greatest player in fifty years, but I'm not conceited.”

Richard Carlson (Clint Kelly) makes his first and last appearance with Lucy and Desi, although his wife, Mona, was featured as one of Don Loper’s models on “The Fashion Show” (ILL S4;E20) in 1955.

Ann Miller (Pepe) had appeared with Lucille Ball in three films: Stage Door (1937), Having Wonderful Time (1938), and Room Service (1938). In 1954, she appeared with the Arnazes on “MGM’s 30th Anniversary Tribute”.

Eddie Bracken (Jojo Jordan) makes his only screen appearance with Lucy and Desi, although he was part of the Broadway cast of Too Many Girls and was friends with the Arnazes off screen as seen in the above photo with Ann Miller and Lucy.

JOJO: “Well, I'm not exactly wonderful, but I'm awfully attractive in a dynamic sort of way.”

Frances Langford (Eileen Eilers) makes her only appearance with Lucy and Desi. She worked extensively with Bob Hope on his USO tours.

Hal LeRoy (Al Terwilliger) makes his only screen appearance with Lucy and Desi, although he was part of the Broadway cast of Too Many Girls.

Libby Bennett (Tallulah Lou) makes her only screen appearance in Too Many Girls. She had also been seen in the Broadway stage production.

Harry Shannon (Mr. Harvey Casey) appeared with Lucille Ball in 1942′s The Big Street. On “I Love Lucy” he played Jim White the photographer in “Men Are Messy” (ILL S1;E8) in 1951 (above center). Musical fans will remember Shannon as Rosalind Russell’s father in the 1962 musical film Gypsy.

Mrs. Teweksbury says Mr. Casey is one of the richest individuals in the country. He reportedly has $7.50 more than Henry Ford. He is Connie’s father and Chairman of Casey Conglomerated Industries.

Douglas Walton (Beverly Waverly) was a Canadian-born actor making his only appearance with Lucy and Desi. He played poet Percy Shelley in the film The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). He left film acting in 1950, before the advent of television.

Beverley Waverly is a British playwright.

Chester Clute (Lister) did four films with Lucille Ball before Too Many Girls and four after it.

Lister is an alumni of Pottawatomie College, like his boss Mr. Casey.

Ivy Scott (Mrs. Tewksbury) was also in the stage production of Too Many Girls and only did one more film in Hollywood, Higher and Higher in 1943.

Mrs. Tewksbury is the proprietor of The Hunted Stag (or, as Mr. Lister calls it, The Stunted Hag), an Inn where the boys are waiters.

Byron Shores (Sheriff Andaluz) makes his only screen appearance with Lucy and Desi. He was also seen in the stage production of Too Many Girls. His last film was in 1944.

UNCREDITED FILM CAST

Iron Eyes Cody (Indian) made a career of playing Native American characters despite the fact that he was of Italian ancestry. He next worked with Lucy and in 1942’s Valley of the Sun, again as an American Indian character. He played an Eskimo in a 1959 episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” but is probably best remembered as the Indian that sheds a single tear in the ‘Keep America Beautiful’ ads that ran from 1971 to the 1980s.

Jay Silverheels (Indian) also played a Native American character in Valley of the Sun (1942) with Lucille Ball. He was best known for playing Tonto on “The Lone Ranger”.

Chief John Big Tree (Chief)

Harry James (Orchestra Leader) also played himself in Lucille Ball’s Best Foot Forward in 1943. With his wife, Betty Grable, he was seen in “Lucy Wins a Racehorse” (LDCH S1;E4) in 1958.

Van Johnson (Chorus Boy) was also seen with Lucy in the films Easy to Wed (1946) and Yours, Mine and Ours in 1968. He played himself on one of the most popular episodes of “I Love Lucy,” “The Dancing Star” (ILL S4;E27) and played both himself and a look-alike on “Here’s Lucy” in 1968. He was also a member of the Broadway cast of Too Many Girls.

Johnson has only two lines of dialogue in the film but is often visible in group scenes.

Shep Houghton (Chorus Boy) made two other films with Lucille Ball and was seen in the background of two episodes of “The Lucy Show” and one episode of “Here’s Lucy.” Houghton was one of the Winkie Guards in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz and a Southern Dandy in Gone With the Wind (1939).

John Benton (Chorus Boy)

Mildred Law (Coed) appeared on “I Love Lucy” in “Return Home From Europe” (ILL S5;E26) playing a TWA flight attendant who attends to Lucy’s cheesy baby, Chester. This was her penultimate screen credit.

Pamela Blake (Coed) also appeared uncredited with Lucille Ball in Stage Door (1937).

Amarilla Morris (Coed) was seen with Desi Arnaz in the 1942 film Four Jacks and a Jill as the girl in the revolving door.

Other Coeds: Janet Lavis, Ellen Johnson, Vera Fern, Peggy Drake, Zita Baca, Anna Mae Tessle

Homer Dickenson (Mr. Casey's Butler) immediately followed this film with A Girl, A Guy, And A Gob (1941) also starring Lucille Ball.

Grady Sutton (Football Coach) from 1935 to 1945, Sutton did five films with Lucille Ball.

Dorothy Vernon (Faculty Extra) also did The Bowery (1933) and Valley of the Sun (1942) with Lucille Ball.

Dan White (Faculty Extra) had a small role in the 1970 TV special “Swing Out Sweet Land” in which Lucille Ball voiced the Statue of Liberty.

Others: Sethma Williams (Marie), Tommy Graham (Hawker), Averell Harris (Detective), Michael Alvarez (Joe)

WHEN LUCY MET DIZZY

Lucille Ball met Desi Arnaz for the first time at the RKO studio commissary, while Too Many Girls was in rehearsals. She was in full costume and make-up after performing a fight scene for another film, Dance, Girl, Dance (1940, above): she wore a slinky gold dress slit halfway up the thigh and sported a black eye. Arnaz was seated at the same table as director George Abbott, who introduced the two. Arnaz was not impressed by Ball, thinking she “looked like a two-dollar whore who had been badly beaten by her pimp." After the encounter, he asked Abbott to fire Ball from Too Many Girls, claiming she was “too tough and common for the role." He also advised that her reputation as Queen of the B movies might negatively impact his much-anticipated film debut, advice Abbott thankfully ignored.

“A Cuban skyrocket burst over my horizon!” ~ Lucy about Desi

“Those damned big beautiful blue eyes!” ~ Desi about Lucy

That night, Arnaz was rehearsing “She Could Shake the Maracas" when Ball walked in, now wearing a yellow sweater and tight-fitting beige slacks. Not recognizing her, Arnaz turned to the piano player and whispered “Man, that is a honk of woman!" The pianist reminded Arnaz of his earlier meeting with Ball. Lucille approached them to say hello. "Miss Ball?" Arnaz said, just to make sure that there was no mistake. "Why don't you call me Lucille? And I'll call you Dizzy."

Lucy and Desi have very little interaction in the film, but when he sees Connie for the first time, he gets weak in the knees and falls to the ground, in awe of her beauty. Despite this, Manuelito’s romance is with Pepe, not Connie. History re-wrote that chapter!

TOO MANY TRIVIA!

RKO paid $100,000 for the rights to the Broadway musical.

Filming on Too Many Girls began on June 22, 1940.

Camerman Russell Metty briefly took over shooting for Frank Redman when Redman had to attend a funeral.

Uncredited performers Van Johnson and Harry James would go on to be two of the film’s biggest stars, except for Lucy and Desi, eclipsing many of the film’s principal cast like Hal LeRoy, Douglas Walton, and Libby Bennett.

Lucille Ball’s vocals were dubbed by Trudy Erwin, one of Kay Kyser’s singers.

Everyone imported from Broadway (except Hal LeRoy) was making their screen debut with Too Many Girls.

After making the film, Van Johnson and Mildred Law returned to the Broadway production. Instead of chorus roles, Johnson assumed the role of Jojo (originated by Bracken) and Law now played Tallulah Lou, originated by Leila Ernest.

On Broadway the character of Connie was originated by Marcy Wescott in her final Broadway stage role.

TOO MANY REFERENCES!

Each of Connie’s bodyguards plays football for an Ivy League college: Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. Manuelito is still deciding on a college, but is considering Princeton, where Clint goes. There is talk about a contentious game that includes Princeton. In Lucille Ball’s radio show “My Favorite Husband” (1948), George Cugat (later Cooper) hopes his future son will play for Princeton, his alum. Coincidentally, Lucille Ball did two plays at Princeton University’s resident theatre company, McCarter: Hey Diddle Diddle (1937) and Dream Girl (1947).

One of the characters mentions movie star Ginger Rogers, one of the top female box office stars of the time. She was also a good friend of Lucille Ball having done five films together. Rogers’ mother Lela tajght acting classes at RKO, later inspiring Ball to create the Desilu Playhouse at Desilu Studios. Rogers played herself on a 1971 episode of “Here’s Lucy.”

Mr. Casey compares his daughter Connie with Lucretia Borgia (1480-1519) was the illegitimate daughter of a pope and his mistress, a famous beauty, notorious for the suspicious deaths and political intrigue that swirled around her. Today her name has become synonymous with a beautiful, but scheming woman who would stop at nothing - including murder - to get what she wants. In 1949, Lucille Ball’s friend played Lucretia Borgia for Paramount in Bride of Vengeance.

Although Pottawatomie College and the town of Stop Gap are fictional, Pottawatomie is the name of a Native American tribe, although they were mostly found in the Great Lakes region, not in New Mexico. The Pottawatomie Massacre occurred from May 23 to May 26, 1856, resulting in the death of five pro-slavery settlers north of Pottawatomie Creek in Franklin County, Kansas. This was one of the many violent episodes in Kansas preceding the American Civil War.

TOO MANY CRITICS!

Too Many Girls premiered on October 8, 1940 at Loew's Criterion Theatre in New York. Critical reviews were generally positive, although Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote that Too Many Girls was “a pleasant, light-hearted and wholly ingenuous campus film" but that director George Abbott "has permitted it to sag in the middle, at which point the thin spots baldly show. If the intention was to be impressive, it has failed. For 'Too Many Girls' is a simple, conventional rah-rah picture, without any place for pretense. And there is not enough to it, on the whole, for Mr. Abbott to squander dancers recklessly."

TOO FAST FORWARD

This film's earliest documented television presentations began in Los Angeles Tuesday May 8, 1956 on KHJ (Channel 9), much to the chagrin of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz who were embarrassed by it, and objected to its frequent showings to no avail.

In 1977, the music of Too Many Girls was rereleased on vinyl with performers Nancy Andrews, Johnny Desmond, Estelle Parsons, and Anthony Perkins!

The film is referenced in “Lucy & Desi: Before the Laughter” a 1991 TV movie about starring Frances Fisher (above) and Maurice Bernard, as well as “Lucy” (2003), another TV film in which Lucy (Rachel York) and Desi (Danny Pino) meet on the set; Desi in his football uniform and Lucy bruised from the filming of Dance, Girl, Dance.

Clips from the film are featured in Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie (1993).

The Final Problem

Part 7 of The Man Who Sold the World

First | Previous

“If she fancies herself Moriarty, she may be inclined to share his fate,” Holmes remarked without preamble.

Watson glanced up from the book he was reading. It took a moment for him to register what Holmes had said and another to realize what Holmes was suggesting. As the gears finally slid into place he said, “No.” Just in case Holmes had not heard it the first time, he repeated, “No. I never went back there and we’re not doing it now.”

When Holmes replied, he spoke cautiously, “I confess I wasn’t thinking about your feelings on the matter, and for my thoughtlessness I sincerely apologize. However, I fear it may be the only way to put an end to these crimes once and for all, or at least the best that I can think of. We can’t just sit by and wait as more people are killed until she chances to make some fatal mistake. You know as well as I that we have no further leads; Barker has said all he knows, and Ivy Douglas remains missing. And it’s nearly a sure bet. She has even given the name Moriarty; I cannot believe she expects it to end any other way.”

Watson interrupted, unable to contain himself any longer, “It’s too much of a risk.”

“I survived once, didn’t I?” Holmes attempted with a crooked smile. “If I could face Moriarty and come out on top, surely we can best this imitator.”

Watson shook his head. “I’m sorry Holmes, I can’t let you do it again. If anyone goes, it will be me alone.”

“No!” Holmes even seemed to surprise himself with the outburst. His expression softened. “It seems you’re not the only one who has been a little lonely these past hundred years. I can promise I won’t take a single step without you beside me.”

Watson hesitated, but at last he said, “No. There has to be another way.”

“Perhaps,” Holmes admitted. “You’re right that were our places reversed, it’s not a risk I’d care to take.”

Several days passed without a case or even a client knocking on their door.

“You’re certain it would work?” Watson asked, breaking the contemplative silence.

It was Holmes’s turn to glance up from the day’s paper, but it did not take long for him to gather his thoughts. “You have seen how closely she has kept to your accounts of my cases-”

“But not close enough to get caught,” Watson reminded him. “Somehow, her allies manage to disappear in time.”

“That’s why the risk is a necessary one. We already have enough evidence against her. With her taste for the dramatic, she couldn’t possibly resist the opportunity to bring us down once and for all in a final confrontation between the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, and the criminal mastermind, Professor Moriarty.” Holmes’s eyes shone with the thrill of the chase and Watson felt his heart begin to race in anticipation.

“But it isn’t the same,” Watson said, dragging them both back down to Earth.

Holmes stared at him for a moment before he finally relented, “No, you’re right, it isn’t.”

“We can’t repeat the past and I have no desire to.” Watson could not quite keep the edge of emotion out of his voice. “Even if you were to face Moriarty again, we don’t know if you would be so fortunate, and this isn’t Moriarty that we’re facing. We’re not the only ones with the benefit of hindsight, and we don’t know what she’ll do with it.”

“Now, now,” Holmes began with condescending dismay, but stopped himself short. “I mean to say that we do have some inkling of how she will behave - we have not gleaned nothing from all of the crimes she has orchestrated. She prefers to remain as close to the crime she is imitating as possible, even down to the language, as you have said, and only allows her subordinates to escape when the culprit could have done so. In the latest instance, she even allowed the crime to develop naturally when it would have been easier and more certain to murder her target and bring the body to the scene. With all that, I have little doubt that she will follow us to Reichenbach and bring a single sniper - Mrs. Ivy Douglas, if I’m not mistaken - who will not act unless absolutely necessary.”

“But say we do run to the continent and mirror our old steps,” Watson insisted, “it’ll be an obvious trap.”

“All it will tell her is that we are prepared for a confrontation, which we are. Her chance is as good as ours, and we all know it.”

Watson’s eyes narrowed in distaste. “I don’t like it. It is a good opportunity, but not with those odds. We’ll need backup and plenty of it.”

“Now, that will certainly make her suspicious,” Holmes protested.

“Do you believe we could truly make an arrest on that narrow precipice? Any struggle is more likely than not to throw us all into the spray. Just because it didn’t happen once doesn’t mean it will go your way again. And the officials are capable of subtlety from time to time.”

Holmes considered it. At last he answered a tad reluctantly, “Very well.”

“Then I will call Inspector Houghton,” Watson said, not entirely sure about it himself, but still, he stood and picked up the phone.

When every detail had been planned and all the pieces were in place, at last Holmes and Watson set their plan in motion.

The doctor walked up to the front desk of a quiet hotel. “Reservation for Holmes.”

The man behind the desk clicked around on his computer for a moment and gave him some papers to sign before finally handing over an electronic key that looked more like an ID or credit card. Watson thanked him and he and Holmes made their way up to their room. It was far from the nicest hotel in London, but it mattered little; they wouldn’t be there for very long.

It took a few tries, but between the two of them they finally got the door open. They stepped inside and immediately got to work.

Holmes opened his suitcase on the bed and handed Watson a bundle of clothes. “You might as well look the part,” he said with a wry smile.

Watson accepted them with a breath that could have passed for a sigh and set about unbuttoning his collar. “We’re actually going through with this” - it was almost a question, asking that it not be so.

“We’ve seen to every precaution. We will only fail if our Moriarty does not take the bait, and there is no doubt about that.”

Watson frowned. He wished he had Holmes’s confidence, but everything had been taken from him once, he could not bear to have it happen again. He was sorely tempted to call the whole mad thing off, or to run to the continent alone, leaving Holmes safely behind in London. But either would have been selfish. They had a plan, the best he could do was stick to it.

He took a long, steadying breath and tried to focus on one step at a time. Methodically, he changed out of his suit, into an even more antiquated priest’s frock. It didn’t quite fit right, but he presumed that was part of the disguise.

Once Watson was dressed, Holmes stepped back to admire his handiwork. “I’ve never seen a more pious gentleman. You would hardly look out of place at the Vatican. Now, just a few finishing touches.”

He seated Watson on the edge of the bed and took out his make-up case, full of powders and brushes. Watson craned over to get a better look.

“You must stay still,” Holmes admonished, but it didn’t hold any heat.

Watson reluctantly faced forward. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Holmes take out a broad brush.

He drew it across Watson’s cheek with surprising gentleness, the bristles tickled against his skin. Watson let his eyes fall shut as Holmes gradually painted lines onto his face. His chest was tight with nerves about the upcoming chase, but there was something soothing about the soft, repetitive caress, each motion no doubt purposeful and carefully planned. Holmes knew what he was doing and it was the least Watson could do to try and keep his nerves in check.

His makeup done, Holmes carefully pulled back Watson’s hair and slid a wig over it. His long, nimble fingers worked their way around Watson’s head, rustling through his hair as they adjusted the band here and there.

At last Holmes sat back and declared, “You look like a new man.”

Watson’s eyes blinked open in the suddenly bright electric light. It took a moment for him to register the face in the mirror. An old man, almost as old as Watson truly was, with deep wrinkles and sun-darkened skin, peered back at him.

“Why, I can hardly recognize myself,” he exclaimed, and as he spoke the face before him almost seemed to transform as familiar features made themselves known.

“Carry yourself a little stiffer,” Holmes suggested. “Do not forget your venerable years.”

Watson nodded, trying to make the gesture as halting as he could.

“Better,” Holmes said, though Watson could tell he still had a long way to go.

Then they both hesitated.

Their easy banter gave way to an awkward, uncomfortable silence, revealing the tension that had been lurking beneath the surface since before they left Baker Street.

“I best be going,” Holmes said at last, and got to his feet.

Watson followed suit. “Be careful.”

“And you. But I doubt Miss Moriarty knows our game yet. No, the chase will not truly begin until we alight on the continent. I wonder how long it will take for her to realize…” Holmes trailed off in thought, but he quickly found himself again - “No matter, she will follow, and she won’t risk it until Reichenbach.”

Watson tensed at the word.

“You remember your route?” Watson asked at last, more for something to say than for the answer.

“I am not so old as to be forgetting things.”

Watson gave him a look.

“Do not fear, my dear Watson, this business will all be over soon enough.”

“Don’t say that,” Watson snapped. He took in a deep, steadying breath and slowly let it out. “I’m sorry, Holmes,” he said, his voice still a little shaky. His hands were quivering. “I know it’s not the same, but still I find myself dreading the end.” His voice fell as he spoke.

Holmes reached out and clasped Watson by the shoulder. “I’m here and I will not leave you again,” Holmes said, his voice firm. “We have done everything in both our considerable power to ensure that we come out alive, so that is what will occur. There is hardly a chance of failure.”

Watson nodded and attempted a smile of his own.

Holmes was not entirely satisfied, but he withdrew his hand and bade Watson farewell, “I will see you at Victoria Station.”

“Yes.”

With that, Sherlock Holmes turned, stepped out the door, and made his way down the hall as though he had not a care in the world.

Watson waited maybe fifteen minutes before his nerves got the best of him. He straightened his frock and made for the door like a man on a mission. Only as he was about to swing it open and stride out into the hall did he remember to bow his back and tried as best he could to hobble out. He had little patience for the slow, halting gait of the old priest he was trying to impersonate, but somehow he made it down the stairs and out the door, into the bright morning.

He imagined Holmes racing across the city, darting from cab to cab, as he hailed his own and set off straight for the station. Holmes was thankfully easy to pick out of the crowd on the platform, tall and lean, making no effort to conceal himself. For all of Watson’s years of imitation, there was something strange about playing Holmes’s role so purposefully, especially with his old friend right there in front of them. And Watson had never taken up Holmes’s penchant for disguises.

Still, Watson felt a little more confident in his shuffle as he made his way over to where Holmes was standing. A young officer stationed by the turnstyle offered to help Watson with his bag and he tried to direct her in a muffled voice. He only belatedly remembered that his English was supposed to be limited besides, but at least that way he had an excuse to speak as little as possible.

He thanked her in what little Italian he knew and settled in to wait for the train. He tried to catch Holmes’s eye, but Holmes’s gaze seemed to slide right over him as he scanned the crowd, almost managing to look nervous as he waited for someone to meet him.

It wasn’t long before the train arrived and he asked for Holmes’s help with his luggage as clumsily as he could. Holmes distractedly obliged.

When Watson tried to take the seat next to him, Holmes protested in a voice that wasn’t quite his own, “I’m sorry, you must understand, I’m waiting for my friend.”

“I- I don’t understand,” Watson attempted.

“I’m saving this seat for my friend,” Holmes insisted, seemingly blind to Watson’s struggle.

He was relieved when the doors slid shut and Holmes looked away to scan the car once more, giving him the opportunity to remark with a little well-deserved impatience, “My dear Holmes, you have not even condescended to say good morning.”

Holmes jumped a little and exclaimed, “Good heavens! How you startled me!”

“Not too badly, I hope,” Watson said without much sympathy.

“No,” Holmes said with a chuckle, keeping his voice low. “My apologies, Watson, but an actor, you are not.”

Watson did not dignify him with an answer. Instead he remarked, “I wonder if Moriarty herself will make an appearance.”

“I doubt she’s aware of our plans just yet, but I expect it will not take long.”

Watson nodded. “She’s been keeping a close eye on us.” He recognized one woman in particular sitting on the other side of the train, whom he had often seen near Baker Street, often lingering in view of their door.

It was a short ride to Kings Cross, but they arrived barely in time for the next train for Paris. Fortunately, Holmes got them quickly through security and they made it onto the train without incident. Watson fell into his seat, grateful for the chance to breathe.

They weren’t on board for long. They got off at Ashford, abandoning their empty luggage on the train. It wasn’t quite Canterbury, but after much debate they had decided against the half-hour detour. So, from Ashford, they caught a series of trains along the coast. The ride was a largely peaceful one. They alternated between easy conversation and companionable silence. But, when silence did fall, Watson found it difficult not to ruminate upon their dangerous errand. The woman had followed them from the underground, but thus far nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.

They stopped for a late lunch in Lewes, and then went on to Newhaven to wait for the evening ferry. They brought dinner with them, and arrived in Dieppe, France close on midnight. There was no longer a night train to Brussels, so they stayed overnight in Dieppe and continued on to Brussels in the morning.

Miss Moriarty had missed her chance in London, so instead it was in Brussels that they found themselves dogged at every corner. First a van barely missed them as they crossed an avenue, then a brick crashed to the sidewalk beside them, and finally they were accosted by a rough looking man with a club who was thankfully scared off by the police before he bloodied Holmes’s knuckles. That night the hotel was evacuated on account of a fire that did more damage causing a nuisance than destroying anything. Of course, none of the perpetrators were caught.

Otherwise they spent a leisurely two days in Brussels before they went on to Strasbourg, and the day after that to Geneva. From there, they went from town to town, hiking where they could, and taking busses where they could not. It was as beautiful and foreboding as Watson remembered, with rocky peaks towering above and sloping valleys below. He did not let Holmes out of his sight. To his relief Holmes seemed to accept it and did not try to venture far.

The last assault came, as they expected, at the Gemmi pass, where a large rock fell from the peaks above, past where they had just been standing moments before, and down into the lake below with a tremendous splash. They never saw the perpetrator. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Finally, they stopped in Meiringen. They stayed in one of many hotels that had popped up in the area since they had been there last.

That night, both of them were reluctant to go to sleep. Neither had much to say, or rather neither was quite ready to put their churning thoughts to words, instead they sat in silence, too keyed up to go to bed. Holmes sat doubled over, his keen eyes fixed on the wall ahead as though he could read volumes in the wallpaper, or perhaps see straight through the wall. Watson was tired, but his racing heart had other plans. Not for the first time on their harrowing journey, he longed for a smoke.

Finally, Watson got up the courage to speak, “Holmes, please hear me out. Only one of us is needed to bait Miss Moriarty into our trap, and the case was mine from the start. Stay in the hotel tomorrow, let me go alone to the fall.”

Holmes snapped to attention. He answered a little too lightly, “We wouldn’t want to raise Miss Moriarty’s suspicions. She should be expecting two of us, after all. She may hesitate if she finds only one.”

“Then return with the messenger boy. You know she’ll send one.”

“I’m sorry, Watson, but you won’t be getting rid of me that easily. I know it’s selfish of me, but I want to see this through to the end, and I cannot bring myself to let you go alone. I let you follow the messenger the first time because I couldn’t bear to risk you at all.”

“And what if you die” - Watson could no longer hold back.

“And what about you?” Holmes met Watson’s eyes, his gaze steady, but it betrayed some of his heart. “Perhaps I’ve become too confident in my own immortality, but we’ve planned it well and besides, I know you wouldn’t allow any danger to come to me.” He hesitated. “I’m afraid you are in a graver danger than I.”

The next morning, both of them left the hotel early to hike to the falls. Watson faltered as the sight of the familiar treacherous peaks, but Holmes took his hand and helped him up the path. They walked in silence, neither quite ready for what was to come. All too soon, they came upon the fearsome fall, its roar louder than it was in any of Watson’s nightmares.

There, they waited. Watson wished he could have brought his revolver, but it would not go on the train. Miss Moriarty likely lacked the same scruples.

It was not long before the messenger boy reached them, asking for an English doctor to treat a dying Englishwoman at the hotel. Watson glanced at Holmes, hoping he would take the out that was offered, but he knew well what Holmes’s response would be. So, the boy returned down the path alone.

Soon after he disappeared out of sight, Watson spotted a woman coming around the bend. He shouted over the fall and Holmes leaped to his feet, ready for a fight. As she drew nearer, Watson easily recognized her features; this was the very same woman who had made a mockery of his late wife. He was not surprised, but the sight of her sent a jolt of anger through him.

He clenched his fists and yelled as soon as she was close enough to hear him, “Why? Why would you do such a thing?”

She grinned and seemed to laugh - he could not hear her over the roar of the fall.

“Who are you?” Watson demanded.

“Jamie Moriarty,” she answered proudly, striding toward them and the fearsome falls as though she had not a fear in the world, “the great granddaughter of Professor James Moriarty, here to finish the work he started.”

Even standing on the precipice, the roar of the falls echoing in their ears, still Holmes argued, “Professor Moriarty had no children.”

“So the public was led to believe, but his descendants have not forgotten him. I have reclaimed my family name and will bring it back to the notoriety it so deserves!”

If she was going to say more, they did not hear it, for at her triumphant conclusion they heard a shot go off and a plume of smoke burst out of a rock on the other side of the falls. They hardly had a chance to respond as a squad of officers came running up the trail and surrounded Miss Moriarty. Without her sniper, she was thoroughly out gunned and quickly subdued.

Holmes and Watson followed them all down the trail. For how smoothly it had gone, Watson was still a little weak with relief, while Holmes seemed to be bursting with all the energy he had not needed to expend.

He laughed and declared, clapping Watson on the back, “Well done, my dear fellow. I suppose I owe you an apology for underestimating your advice. It all went off charmingly. I even find myself wishing there had been a bit more of a scuffle.”

Watson gave Holmes a look.

“But it is all for the best,” Holmes hastily tacked on.

“Yes,” Watson answered at last, unable to keep a smile from stretching across his face, “It did go well, didn’t it? I’m sorry I wasted so much time worrying about it.”

“It had its worrying points,” Holmes acquiesced. “If not for all your worries, it may not have gone nearly so well.”

“You’re the one who suggested where to stake out to catch the sniper?” one of the officers walking near them spoke up.

Holmes waved it off. “I happen to be very familiar with the area.”

“Well, those were brilliant hiding spots, I don’t know how you found them, but I could’ve looked all day and wouldn’t have seen a thing. It all looks like sheer rock, who would’ve thought you could climb it.”

“Ava Smith, you are charged with the murder of Samuel Easton, John Rowe, Nelson Duvall, Thomas Johnson, and William Strout. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence,” Mrs. Houghton recited. “Do you understand?”

Miss Smith merely nodded. She sat in imperious silence on the opposite side of the interrogation table, as though daring them to question her.

The doctor could only repeat his question from the falls, “Why? Why attempt to reenact the past like this?”

To his surprise, she smiled. “Why do you do it? There’s only one reason, isn’t there?”

“What are you talking about?” the doctor demanded.

“Who would want to be Miss Smith or Jonathan Holmes, or even Doctor Watson, when you could be Sherlock Holmes or Professor Moriarty? Who doesn’t want the starring role?”

“I try to help people,” he protested.

She waved off the suggestion. “Of course, anyone would want to be the great detective, but you can’t have Sherlock Holmes without Professor Moriarty, and anyway my talents are better suited to the latter than the former,” she concluded with a dismissive shrug.

“That’s a poor way to honor Sherlock Holmes.”

“What does he care, at the bottom of Reichenbach Fall?”

Watson flinched. Holmes rested a reassuring hand on Watson’s elbow.

“No,” Watson said at last, “You’re right, Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty both make a poor excuse for one’s actions.” He gave her a pointed look.

“I’ve been wondering,” she remarked, ignoring his comment all together, “Why you call yourself Jonathan Holmes while your friend here goes by the name Sherlock and calls you Watson.”

Watson struggled to find an answer.

Thankfully, Holmes replied easily enough, “That my name is Sherlock Holmes is little more than a coincidence. You could call it providence, if you like, that someone with such a name would take an interest in detection, or you could speculate that I was inspired by my namesake. Either way, it is not so unlikely that, finding myself the friend of a man named John, I might call him Watson.”

She turned on Watson, unconvinced. “And that your name is also Holmes is likewise a coincidence?”

Watson hesitated. “I thought it fitting.”

“Isn’t it, though? Better than John Smith, at the very least.”

“Is that it? All of this just for a name that you have no claim to?” Watson demanded.

She sat a little straighter in indignation. “I think I’ve lived up to it well enough.”

“Hardly,” Holmes put in. “Professor Moriarty’s organization was rather more than a band of actors and con artists.”

“This is only the beginning, an advertisement if you will for my and Sabrina’s business, but I suppose she hasn’t told you a word.”

“What kind of a business is that?” Watson asked.

“It’s about time I saw a lawyer, I do have the right to one, don’t I?”

Mrs. Houghton nodded and motioned for the guards to come in and take Miss Smith back to her cell. Once she was gone Mrs. Houghton concluded, “I can’t say much for her motivation, but otherwise I’d say the case is closed. Between your testimony and all of the material evidence, I would be surprised if she didn’t plead guilty.”

“Thank you for all of your assistance,” Watson said.

“Always happy to help.” Mrs. Houghton shook his hand and Holmes’s before getting back to work, while the two gentlemen returned to Baker Street.

10 Years Later:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson were seated at the table in their flat at 221B Baker Street for breakfast one morning. Holmes was busy on his phone while Watson had the paper open in front of him. However, Watson had made little progress in reading it; instead, he was preoccupied by his companion.

“Holmes,” Watson said at last, “I can hardly believe it, but do I see a touch of grey in your hair?”

Holmes looked up from his phone with a start and seemed to take a moment to realize what had been said. Finally, he replied, “Perhaps it is not my hair, but your keen vision that is beginning to fail you.”

Watson gave him a reproachful look, but he could not help but smile back. “You must have seen it in the mirror,” Watson insisted, “Unless it is your faculties that are failing. Mine are sharp enough to see the beginnings of wrinkles on my face.”

“No, I have seen them,” Holmes admitted, though he did not seem to mind, “And your wrinkles too; they accentuate your smile.”

“Then it’s true,” Watson marveled, “Age is beginning to catch up with us once more.”

Holmes nodded. “I would say so. And I, for one, am ready to do away with this false veneer of youth that I have worn for so long. What do you say?”

“I agree,” Watson answered. “I have lived a full life. And now, I can be grateful that I have lived long enough not to spend the rest of my time alone.”

Note: I’ve also written a short, romantic follow-up: Holmes and Watson Meet the 21st Century.

Hiker Falls to His Death at Sturgeon River Gorge in Houghton County

LAIRD TOWNSHIP, MI – At approximately 12:15 p.m. on Monday, August 16th, 2021, troopers from the Michigan State Police Calumet Post were dispatched to a hiker who had fallen off a cliff at the Sturgeon River Gorge in Houghton County’s Laird Township.

Redmen top D-1 XC, Braves finish fourth | News, Sports, Jobs

MARQUETTE — It was a disappointing day for some, but not for Escanaba senior Derek Douglas in the Upper Peninsula Division 1 Cross Country Finals here Saturday.

Douglas placed fourth in the boys’ race, covering the 3.1-mile course in a personal-best 17 minutes, 46.9 seconds on the mostly cloudy and chilly day at Presque Isle Park.

His plan was to use a little different strategy for the Finals.

“My strategy was to go out hard and take the lead and stay with the pack through the woods,” he said. “It was a little cold, but there wasn’t much wind. It felt pretty good taking the lead, and I think it helped me. Although, once we got into the woods, I changed things up. I always get a little tired in the second mile but tend to pick it up in the third. This is a great way to end the season. This was my last high school race. I wanted to give it everything I had.”

Marquette, which placed four in the top seven, retained its title with 38 points. The Redmen were followed by Sault Ste. Marie 47, Houghton 69 and Gladstone 97.

Sault senior Jaron Wyma, who’s verbally committed to Saginaw Valley State, won at 17:19, followed by Houghton junior Eric Weiss (17:32.5) and Marquette sophomore Carson Vanderschaaf (17:40.8).

“Going into this race, I really didn’t know where I’d finish,” said Wyma. “This is a big surprise. I thought it would come down to the last few steps. The last 800 meters were tough. My legs were burning, although I felt good the whole race. I engaged my arms and used the hills to my advantage. I knew I could win it if I toughed it out mentally. I guess you could say I was on a mission. It feels great to win this meet.”

It was a disappointing day for Gladstone. Junior Giovanni Mathews, who took a fall during the race, placed 10th (18:16.1), and sophomore Drew Hughes finished 12th (18:20.4) just five days after taking the Mid-Peninsula Conference title at Flat Rock in 16:54. He also earned his first Great Northern Conference title in Marquette at 17:31.9 on Oct. 15.

“Gio said Drew was having a hard time breathing when he passed him,” said Braves’ coach Gary Whitmer. “There was something physical going on. You never know what can happen. There’s not much you can do.”

The Houghton girls edged Marquette 56-58 for their first title. Sault squeezed past Westwood 82-83 for third place, and Gladstone placed fifth with 144 points.

Houghton junior Paige Sleeman also won for the first time at 20:55.2, followed by Westwood sophomore Heidi Meglathery (21:00.8) and classmate Ingrid Seagren (21:19.4).

“I just tried to stay with the top runners,” said Sleeman. “I like running in colder weather. I wanted to win and wanted our team to win. We were willing to do whatever it took. Marquette has tough runners. Ingrid had a real good race. I felt she held it together well. All the teams and girls ran well.”

Esky junior Ciara Ostrenga reached the top 10 at 22:29.1, and Gladstone junior Samantha Strasler was 17th (22:56.9).

“Quite a few of the girls ran their best races,” said Whitmer. “This has been kind of a crazy year. We’re just glad to get the season in. We’re real proud of our runners. They put a lot of effort into this season.”

Dissertation Weekly: When History and Hollywood Intersect

A movie poster for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner starring Sidney Poitier, Katharine Houghton, Katherine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy. Image: IMBD

As I sat today at my desk writing a revised introduction to my dissertation my mind wandered a bit as I contemplated the intensity of the interracial marriage that is the central focus of my dissertation. In many ways my couple, Douglas and Kate, are the 19th century version of Joey and John the idealistic interracial couple featured in Stanley Kramer’s tour de force Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.

In Stanley Kramer’s 1967 Hollywood classic Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner an idealistic interracial couple pay a surprise visit to the parents of the prospective bride. What unfolds is a masterful study of interpersonal and interracial relations between the white, upper class parents of the bride and the decidedly middle-class, socially mobile family of the African American groom. By film’s end the bride’s father comes to see the love that exists between his daughter and her intended more than the color of his skin. Despite warnings about racism, intolerance, and a troubled path ahead, the lovers sway their parents’ hearts and obtain partial blessings as they plan their wedding after a whirlwind courtship. As a director Kramer knew he had a finite amount of screen time to tackle a major social issue head on: interracial marriage and love in racially divided America. Unlike Joey and John—Kramer’s racially challenged couple whose relationship ruffled feathers but was not uncommon—Douglas Bemo (an AfroMvskoke/Seminole man) and Kate Edwards (a white woman) lived and loved at a time in America when white Americans stood firmly entrenched atop the social, cultural, political, and economic ladder. African Americans sought refuge, after gaining freedom from slavery in the South, only to be confronted by increasing intolerance and violence in the West. American Indians struggled to rebuild their lives in the Indian Territory after the trauma of removal to the West. Relationships between whites and people of color came under the yoke of Jim Crow legislation that eroded away newly won freedoms in the 13th, 14th, and 15thAmendments to the United States Constitution. However, just like Joey and John, Douglas and Kate challenged their families’ views regarding interracial marriage and love in the mid to late nineteenth century. Douglas and Kate, unlike Joey and John, gained no ally in the form of an understanding father of the bride or mother of the groom. The Bemo courtship, marriage, and life— as chronicled by Kate in her prolific diary— outlines the rise and fall of an interracial couple at a time when such pairings were decidedly taboo, and in some cases illegal, in America.

A production still from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner showing Joey and John with the mother of the bride to be portrayed by the one and only Katherine Hepburn, one of my all time favorites.

I am keenly interested in the racial positionality of Douglas and Kate in their relationships with one another and those around them, how they navigated life in a largely Indigenous world as an interracial couple, and how can I as a scholar recover Douglas’ lived experience and disengage his life from Kate’s to obtain a better understanding of what it meant for him to be an AfroIndigenous man at a time when one’s racial categorization either opened or closed doors to opportunity? Aside from Kate’s diary knowing where to begin my search for Douglas seemed daunting when I undertook this project. However, a walk through a cemetery helped cement in my mind the importance of reconstructing Douglas’ life and leaving no stone unturned to return his agency in the historical narrative.

I understand what I like to call the guess who’s coming to dinner effect personally. My husband is Mvskoke/Seminole/Shawnee/Sac and Fox and I am most very decidedly what I like to call the “white bread” in our relationship.

Next week I will once again head to the archives at the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City to turn over more stones, shake more trees, and see what falls from history’s branches. As I continue to hone my analytical/methodological side, I am discovering more about Douglas in source collections that I would not thought about pursuing originally. As I dig deeper into Kate’s diary creating a useable, manageable timeline of the Bemo marriage that can be juxtaposed with the events taking place in the Mvskoke/Seminole nations, the history of Indian Territory, and the trajectory of race relations in the American West from 1870-1898 have to all merge or converse with one another at the conclusion of my dissertation. This is the most difficult aspect of the entire project: taking a micro history (the story of Douglas and Kate) and using it as a fulcrum to balance the other narrative lines at work in my study. So, in my spare time (ha!) I see some trips to Staples and their large format printer...and lots of brightly colored meticulously organized timelines adorning the hallway walls outside my office.

As always Josie kitten is snuggled sleeping soundly on the loveseat in my office while I work. The soft strains of kitty snoring can be heard in-between the keystrokes. Thanks for taking time to come along on the journey that is my dissertation. Next time I will share tidbits from my latest research trip and practical tips on how to organize research materials.

Commercial America, Reorganization of United States Customs Service, 1912

Page 17: The Executive order provides that '' in lieu of all customs-collection districts, ports and subports. of entry and ports of delivery now or heretofore existing there shall be 49 customs collection districts" with specified district headquarters and ports of entry. For each of the customs-collection districts there is to be one collector of customs, to be appointed by the President, with the provision that the collector of customs or the surveyor of customs of the respective districts now in office is to continue in the new office for the term of his existing commission. The collectors are, with the exception of four districts, to maintain their principal offices at the headquarters of their respective districts. In charge of each port of entry there is to be a deputy collector appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to prescribe uniform blank forms for use in connection with the entry and clearance of merchandise.

It is provided that "merchandise shall not be entered or delivered from customs custody elsewhere than at one of the ports of entry * * * except at the expense of the parties in interest, upon express authority of the Secretary of the Treasury and under conditions to be prescribed by him. When it shall be made to appear to the Secretary of the Treasury that the interests of commerce or the protection of the revenue so require, he may cause to be stationed at places in the various collection districts, though not named as ports of entry, officers or employees of the customs with authority to enter and clear vessels, to accept entries of merchandise, to collect duties, and to enforce the various provisions of the customs and navigation laws.''
