Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Golden Circle" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery story for girls written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Petite Jeanne, a young and hopeful dancer who believes in her "luck" and seeks a way to succeed in the competitive world of performance in America after her dreams have been disrupted by the closure of a theater she worked with. Her journey involves her friends, including a physical director named Florence, as well as encounters with intriguing characters and the challenges they face. The opening of the story introduces us to Petite Jeanne as she eagerly welcomes "Friday the thirteenth" as her "luckee day," despite the superstitions surrounding it. We witness her unyielding optimism and her whimsical nature as she prepares to dance at dawn, despite the harsh realities of her present circumstances. Early on, Jeanne is pursued by a frightening figure from her past, a gypsy man whom she recognizes as a potential threat due to her previous association with the Bihari Tribe. In her desperate attempt to evade him, she accidentally lands herself in a strange basement, where she meets Merry Murphy, who will soon become her friend and ally. As the plot unfolds, it hints at a burgeoning adventure filled with mystery, friendship, and the quest for artistic significance amidst adversity.
