  * *William Gillette* (51) --- Writer and star of Sherlock Holmes. A
    handsome "superstar" and leading man of the 1920s. The image we have
    of Holmes IS William Gillette --- tall, thin, beak of a nose,
    piercing eyes, keen intelligence, deerstalker cap, distinctive cloak
    etc.
  * *Bobby Carlyle* (early 30s) --- Good-looking actor in Gillette's
    acting company; a bit dim and casually full of himself and
    impulsive; can be annoying or endearing.
  * *May Dison* (26) --- A pretty, strong-minded girl, the ingénue in
    Gillette's acting company.
  * *Marion Barrett* (about 45) --- Gillette's sister and an actress in
    the company; likeable and a bit brassy.
  * *Leo Barrett* (about 50 or so) --- Plays Professor Moriarty in the
    company; Marion's husband and the perfect match for her.
  * *Lilly Warner* (60s-70s) --- Gillette's aunt; speaks and moves with
    a grand air of a bygone era.
  * *Louise Parradine* (mid-to-late 30s) --- Tall and strikingly
    beautiful; a former actress in the company, now a medium. Her manner
    is refined, slightly distant and perfectly normal with an undertone
    of fragile nerves.
