It's Elementary! Rediscovered Sherlock Holmes Silent Movie to Live Music by Jeff Rapsis

The first-ever movie adaptation of 'Sherlock Holmes', a silent film released in 1916 and recently rediscovered, featuring live accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating music for silent films. The film has since been restored, allowing movie-goers to again see the only screen appearance of stage actor William Gillette, who originated the role of Sherlock Holmes in a popular stage adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's tales of the legendary British detective.
