Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section A Wife Too Many Into the hotel lobby walked a beautiful woman and a distinguished man. Little indeed did the gay and gallant crowd know that around these heads there flew stories of terror — of murder — and treason — that on their entrance half a dozen detectives sprang up from different parts of the place. Because of them the lights of the War Department in Washington blazed far into the night. With their fate was wound the tragedy of a broken marriage, of a fortune lost, of a nation betrayed. It is a wonderful story with the kind of mystery that you will sit up nights trying to fathom. It is just one of the stories fashioned by that master of mystery CRAIG KENT^DY ^JIwAmerican Shericcli Hahnes ■* ARTHURBR^iVE <JheAinerican ConcnDoylt.' -a*^' He is the detective genius of otir age. Hehas taken science — sciencethal stands for this age — and allied it to the mystery and romance of detective fiction. Even to the smallest detail, every bit of the plot is worked out scientifically. For nearly ten years Americahas been watching this Craig Kennedy — marveling at the strange, new, startling things that detective hero would unfold. Such plois^sucli suspense — willi real, vivid people movitig through the maelstrom of life ! Frenchmen have mastered the art of (error stories. English writers have thiilled whole nations by their artful heroes. Russian ingenuity has fashioned wild tales of mystery.
