Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Film of Fear" by Arnold Fredericks is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around actress Ruth Morton, who finds herself a target of threatening notes that promise to ruin her beauty. The plot unfolds in a glamorous yet menacing Hollywood backdrop, filled with intrigue and the dangers of envy in the competitive world of film. The opening of the novel introduces Ruth Morton, a rising motion picture star whose daily routine includes sifting through a barrage of fan mail. However, her seemingly glamorous life takes a dark turn when she receives a chilling letter sealed with a sinister death's head emblem, declaring that her beauty will be destroyed within thirty days. As Ruth grapples with the threat and its implications, her concerned mother enlists the help of Richard Duvall, an adept investigator, to uncover the source of the threats. This sets the stage for a gripping exploration of jealousy, fame, and the lengths people will go to sabotage others.
