Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Ruth Fielding on the St. Lawrence; Or, The Queer Old Man of the Thousand..." by Alice B. Emerson is a novel written in the early 20th century. This installment follows the adventures of Ruth Fielding, a young woman who has already established herself as a capable screenwriter and moving picture actress. As she attends a wedding to support her friend Jennie Stone, Ruth finds herself caught in a series of unexpected events involving her friends and a mysterious old man, setting the stage for intrigue and adventure. The opening portion presents a vibrant wedding scene for Jennie Stone, highlighting Ruth's connections with her friends, including the envious Tom Cameron and the attentive Chess Copley. Amid the festivities, an accident occurs when a piece of plaster falls from the ceiling, nearly injuring Ruth. The chaos escalates when it becomes apparent that a rival producer, Mr. Horatio Bilby, is trying to encroach on the rights of Wonota, a promising actress of Osage descent who Ruth has a significant professional interest in. Ruth's determination to protect her friends and solve the emerging conflicts sets the tone for the story’s impending challenges.
