“a strange, loud whiz” [EMPT]&nbsp;   &nbsp; We came across a quite unusual observation — a Trifle, if you will — in an old issue of The Baker Street Journal. An article by Antony Boucher called "An Aborted Avatar." Boucher discovered a turn of the century play called The King of Gee-Whiz that involved Sherlock Holmes in a quite unusual setting. The play was co-written by L. Frank Baum, of The Wizard of Oz fame. It's just a Trifle.&nbsp; &nbsp; Another "Trifling Trifles" episode — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode — is coming your way in a few days. As a reminder, this is&nbsp;exclusively for our paying subscribers. Check it out (&nbsp;|&nbsp;). &nbsp; Leave&nbsp;Trifles&nbsp;a five-star rating&nbsp;on&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;;&nbsp;listen to this episode here or&nbsp;  &nbsp;  Links    (Wikipedia)  (Project Gutenberg) All of our social links:&nbsp;  Email us at trifles @&nbsp;&nbsp;    &nbsp;   Music credits Performers:&nbsp;Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra Publisher Info.:&nbsp;Washington, DC:&nbsp;.
