The Normal Theater is screening a film about a legendary detective that was made almost 100 years ago and, until recently, was thought lost.  Now restored, it takes its place among the huge canon of Sherlock Holmes films that prove the enduring popularity of the fictional detective.  Laura Kennedy chats with ISU professor Jan Susina about the man in the deerstalker hat.
