Items related to The Film Mystery
A Craig Kennedy Scientific Mystery Novel.
The sudden death of Stella Lamar as she is playing before the camera is the occasion for a story with a double appeal--a thoroughly tangled mystery solved by Craig Kennedy and the life of the movie people in all its fascinating detail.
The Film Mystery is one of eighteen detective novels by Arthur B. Reeve starring his best known character Professor Craig Kennedy and his trusty sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter. The pair bears an unmistakable resemblance to the more famous British master sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, and his doctor friend. The setting of this mystery is the early days of movie making, and the murder victim is Stella Lamar, “the beautiful idol of the screen, beloved of millions”, who collapses and dies during the filming of a scene for her latest movie.
