The House That Fear Built

[flowersandfashion]

the fact that Jeremy Brett played both Dorian Gray and Basil Hallward AND both John Watson and Sherlock Holmes throughout his career. he has the range.

[i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end]

It is tempting to think that Sherlock Holmes was so emotionally repressed and secretive and obviously not great at handling the feelings of others (making Watson believe him dead or dying several times) because his own author did not love him enough. Childhood trauma. Deep in his heart he knew that all the time ACD spent with him he'd rather write about dinosaurs, and that turns a man bitter. And looking at some adaptions I think this is still ongoing - some creators still do not love Sherlock Holmes. They want his name, but they don't want him. Pleeeaaase let Sherlock Holmes be with creators who love himmmmm pleeeeaaaaaase my poor silly little guyyyyyyy

Sketched some characters/scenes from the play “Sherlock Holmes: Der Fall Moriarty” (The Case Moriarty) that I got to watch live today on my way home from there, Toby was a balloon dog, it was brilliant😭

[onceinawhilemoon]

whereas the rebellious kid protagonist in popular fiction usually gathers a bunch of street kids to form a gang, Sherlock gathered them to start a drama club. because he's Sherlock Holmes.

Normally when watching House MD:

Me: Hahahaha that is so Sherlock.

House MD S7E2: Selfish

Cuddy: Their son is a human being. You know what they are, right? Intrinsic value. We don't get to decide-

House: Come on. We do it every day. The two of them needed the same lung-

Cuddy: He needs to keep the one he's got. You don't get to play God by ripping out-

House: That train left the station when we learned to do transplants. The rest is just paper-pushing.

Me: Hahahaha that is so Frankenstein.

Sherlock: [fast forwards all the way through a romcom movie]

John: You can't just skip to the happy ending!

Sherlock: I don't have time for their problems. I have plenty of my own.

Poll: Round 1 #6

*Reminder that Break up is being used loosely here and not all relationships may be romantic in nature

Propaganda under cut:

Sherlock and Watson:

Watson realises that Sherlock has been keeping a secret from him for three years that could have put him and Mary in danger. They argue, big time, and Watson decides he's finished helping Holmes with cases altogether. Holmes leaves and Watson spends the rest of the day sitting around in a "melancholic torpor".

Anna, Sasha, and Marcy:

No propaganda was submitted

I posted the FAB silk postcard of the American actress, Maude Fealy a couple of weeks ago and said that I would post some more about her, here a are few more images of Maude from my collection of postcards and photographs.

The first postcard shows Maude as Alice Faulkner from the play 'Sherlock Holmes.' The third one shows Maude as Eunice from 'Quo Vadis'.

The sixth postcard shows a winning photograph by Burr McIntosh from the French magazine 'Paris Figaro Illustre.' Maude's photograph was sent to their competition (to find the most beautiful woman in the world) by the American photographer, William Burr McIntosh. Maude was the winner, chosen from out of 30, 000 entrants from all over the world.

Some information about Maude from Wikimedia.

Maude Mary Hawk was born on March 3/4, 1881-3 in Memphis, Tennessee (the dates vary depending upon the source) the daughter of actress Margaret Fealy and James Hawk, who divorced. Maude took her mother's name, Fealy.

In 1896, she made her debut at the Elitch Theatre in Denver playing various children's roles. Her first appearance was during the week of July 19 in Henry Churchill de Mille's The Lost Paradise. In 1905, Churchill de Mille's son Cecil B. DeMille was hired as a stock player at Elitch Theatre, and Maude appeared as the featured actress in several plays. Their friendship continued for decades, including when DeMille cast Maude in his film The Ten Commandments.

Maude made her Broadway debut in the 1900 production of Quo Vadis, again with her mother.

Maude toured England with William Gillette in Sherlock Holmes from 1901 to 1902. Between 1902 and 1905, she frequently toured with Sir Henry Irving's company in the United Kingdom, and by 1907, she was the star in touring productions in the United States.

In Denver, Colorado, Maude met a drama critic from a local newspaper named Louis Hugo Sherwin (son of opera singer Amy Sherwin). The two married in secret on July 15, 1907, because, as they expected, her domineering mother did not approve. The couple soon separated and divorced in Denver in 1909. Maude then married actor James Peter Durkin. He was a silent film director with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company. This marriage ended in divorce for non-support in 1917. Soon after this, Maude married John Edward Cort. This third marriage ended in a 1923 annulment and was her last marriage. She bore no children in any of the marriages.

Maude died on November 10, 1971.

Hey tumblr, can we do something awesome?

Don't Go Into The Cellar! is this wonderful theatre company that's brought me so much giddy glee over the past couple of years. I feel like 'theatre company' is almost a misnomer because the entire thing is spearheaded by actor and writer Jonathan Goodwin.

At a performance, he comes out and completely NAILS a macabre tale from Victorian or Edwardian literature. It's generally spooky, and yet somehow, it's always so warm, so fun. I think it's because you can tell you're watching someone doing something they utterly love. A passion for the literature, for the theatre, for the characters he portrays, radiates out of him.

(And like... his Sherlock Holmes. Augh. When I first saw him perform I was like IT'S HIM HE'S HERE. I'm not saying visually, he's not a living Paget illustration or something, I'm saying he Nails The Vibes)

I just want DGITC to succeed and go on succeeding, and for everyone involved to have the financial security needed for that to happen.

Anyway, long story short he's been a little short on funds lately and started to do fortnightly live performances on livestream and I have this vision of a bunch of us turning up and giving him a wonderful appreciative audience.

So, it would be awesome if you could...

Check out his existing recordings! I have linked one above :D Is the video quality the best? No. Doesn't matter, watch it and bask in the fun.

The next live performance (at the time of writing) is Sunday June 2nd at 9pm BST, on Facebook! Save the date!

And last but not least consider the GoFundMe for the theatre company <3
