Donna said Thank You for Last Night-Scott Lord: Universal Sherlock Holmes Trailers



Postscript: This morning Donna said, "Thank You for last night." We were awake untill late and showered in the middle of the night. Within my new novel, I want to work on her having said, "That's because you make me feel beautiful."- I had given her a compliment just as we were about to go to bed and may interweave the responsorial into fiction.

I wrote what is below last night. It happenned to be that I was listening to "The Speckled Band", the last words heard spoken during a night of murder, and an installment in the series entitled "Double Zero". Interstingly, it was an adventure that was depicted on the airwaves of radio by Basil Rathbone, but the earlier screen version starred Raymond Massey, which would be of special interest if you were listening to the radio broadcasts, which are more numerous than the films, after having seen all of the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce films.

While with Donna I have returned to a NIGHTLY practice of listening to old time radio. The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are better than I once thought.
In the past week they have covered Holmes under the name of a Norwegian explorer in Tibet, the daughter of Irene Adler appearing in Sussex 1909 and Moriarty appearing in a 1908 stage play version, much like the William Gillette version, playing himself on stage in front of Holmes.
After the half hour I try a new Old Time Radio show that I've never heard before- last night was Boris Karloff in Lights Out (The Suspense-Escape series), sometimes I'll try a Weird Circle or a Murder at Midnight or a Murder by Experts- the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and The Shadow were the two that I listened to when young, and am stilled more than pleased with.
Tonight it seems like I'll be listening to another in that I'll be typing at the computer and it is easier than listening to music while typing.

I need to look for more trailers that will combine with these.

Boston:Donna and I;another quiet Friday Night,passionate Thursday midnight.




The key is that there is a search box on the top of the internet archive if you use the text section, therefore, any book can be searched for its index- quickly.

Meaning, I'm in a coffee in Boaton looking at existant architecture. Henry Cabot Lodge, if you use the regular, or first wave, of search, wrote a book entitled Boston, which consists of the history of tne Revolutionary War.
To go on, Oliver Wendall Holmes wrote a volume on his college experience in Boston. Search that for street names or sections of Boston in the next wave of search and it is exactly four minutes past the hour. That fast- during coffee- and I can continue to find what we have on the buildings downtown that are across the street and how they looked in the 19th century.

I can meet Donna for the second coffee and bagel; usually, most often,I have a french toast bagel with either cream cheese or with egg, ham and cheese.

"I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835- It is coming again next year (1910)"K


King Arthur might not exactly be the Almighty. Halley's Comet may have actually put him in office. It happenned to, according to Edmond Halley, who wrote Synopsis of the Astronomy of Comets in 1705, appeared at the call of either Harold II of England and William the Conquerer who had the battle to decide divine right at Hastings, and most probably a battle to death. It also put's Stonehenge under the historical retrospective of whichever rode upon a rainbow into heaven to rain light through the sky.

I probably have a silent film for you, Mr.Twain.

As for William Dean Howells, we could bother with some of these:
