Red Masquerade: Being the Story of the Lone Wolf's Daughter · Chapter 1Apology

This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.

This tale quite brazenly derives from the author’s invention for motion pictures which Mr. J. Parker Read, Jr., produced in the autumn of 1919 under the title of “The Lone Wolf’s Daughter.”

It is only fair to state, however, that the author has in this version taken as many high-handed liberties with the version used by the photoplay director as the latter took with the original.

The chance to get even for once was too tempting....

Messrs. Doubleday, Page & Company in the first instance, and then Mr. Arthur T. Vance, editor of The Pictorial Review, in which the story was published as a serial, were equally guilty of the encouragement which results in its appearance in its present guise.
