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
