RED MASQUERADE

TO
J. PARKER READ, JR., ESQ.
THE CINEMA THAT WAS HIS

APOLOGY

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

It is only fair to state, however, that the author has in this version taken asmany high-handed liberties with the version used by the photoplay director asthe 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 waspublished as a serial, were equally guilty of the encouragement which resultsin its appearance in its present guise.
