The Trail To Yesterday
Efficiency Edgar's Courtship
Mr. Pierce
Efficiency wins success in business; why not in love? Edgar Bumpus, a rising young man, applies this reasoning to his courtship of Mary Pierce. He first eliminates Wimple, his closest competitor, who plays a guitar, by learning to play a saxophone, which makes louder noise, and by sending Mary flowers and candy each time Wimple calls on her. The plan works O.K., until the saxophone disturbs Mr. Pierce's slumbers. He and Edgar clash and the latter is forbidden to visit Mary any more. Edgar employs a clipping bureau to send news items to Mr. Pierce which tells of the troubles young girls get into when their fathers refuse to let them have beaux. One eloped with a milkman; another disappeared. This has no effect upon Mr. Pierce, however, except to make him hate Edgar more. However, the youth's persistence finally wins Mary's love. Then Edgar plays his trump card. He gets Mary to sign a legal agreement to forfeit $10,000 to him, unless she marries him.

With the ruin of his country imminent, the boy ruler hastily sails for America to negotiate the loan, hoping at the same time to meet the girl of his dreams. The money is readily advanced by William W. Blithers, a self-made millionaire anxious to have his daughter marry into royalty. The daughter, however, avoids the Prince and he does not see her. He rescues a girl from drowning and falls in love with her. He believes her to be Blithers' daughter, but she does not reveal her identity.
Шерлок Холмс
Professor Moriarty
Фильм «Джилетт», который долгое время считался потерянным с момента его первого выпуска, является жизненно важным недостающим звеном в истории Холмса на экране. К моменту создания фильма «Джилетт» был признан ведущим в мире интерпретатор Холмса на сцене. Он дал свое лицо и манеру детективу и вдохновил классика иллюстраций Фредерика Дорра Стила. В фильме верно сохраняются знаменитые постановочные пьесы - встреча Холмса с профессором Мориарти, его дерзкий побег из газовой камеры «Степни» и вынужденные силовые выводы - и иллюстрирует, как «Джилетт» переплел кусочки из историй Конан Дойля, начиная от «Скандала в Богемии» и заканчивая «Последней проблемой», до оригинальной, новаторской загадочной игры.
