The Other Side Of the Door Will Appear in he Sunday Call
A Great Novel Of Old San Francisco

of the Door," even more than The
Coast of Chance" glows and quivers
with abundant life. The plot, excit-
ing in itself. takes on mordant
vitality and intensity. And the final
impression is not of plot or incident,
but of the character of the girl.
Her name is Eleanor Fenwick, and
she lives in old San Francisco, the
San Francisco of the SOS; the good,
gray city of romance and mystery. A
girl of excellent family, of refinement.
of delicate nurture, she is brought by
sudden chance into contact with the
crucial and the desperate. AS she
passes along deserted street early
one morning, she hears a pistol shot
The door of gambling house flies
open and a murdered man falls out
backward. Over him leaps another
man, with a wild look that fills the
street with terror.
Was ever love story begun in such
fashion? Love story, indeed, it is, for
the girl and the rushing man, in that
terrible moment, know the first STIR
ring of passion.

What shall we say is the class of
fiction which appeals most widely to
the American reading public today?
Ten years ago 1t was the historical
novel. Five years ago it was the
Zenda romance. Now we venture the
guess that it is the story of mystery,
and call TO witness in behalf of the
assertion the success of THE House
of a Thousand Candles" "The Brass
Bowl" "The Circular Staircase" THE
Mystery of the Yellow Room" "Sher-
lock Holmes "Raf1es' and a score
of other titles.
So prevalent is the taste for mystery
fiction, and so prolific is its produc-
ton, that it is now possible to SUBJ
divide it and find class within class
Conan Doyle and Anna Katharine
Green are writing mystery stories in
which the element of detection has
the emphasis. Mr.. Nicholson, Mr.. Fu-
trelle and others are concerned with
the adventure in the midst of battling
complications. Mary Roberts Rine-
hart delights in mirth, and sounds the
note Of the humor of mystery.

story into a masterpiece of it's sort.
Miss Chamberlain can tell story with
the enthusiastic vivacity that makes it
irresistibly interesting THE Other
Side of the Door" fascinates and en-
tertains and delights.-Chicago Jour-
nal.
THE Other Side of the Door" is
modern romance at its best. The young
girl who here tells her wonderful ex-
perience is something charming and
free in the way Of heroine. Her
loveliness grows on the reader as the
page is turned. Anything sweeter has
not been shown the public since

of details of early days which are re-
membered so affectionately by the pio-
neers-the signals run up on Telegraph
hill when a ship was sighted; the long
line at the postoffice awaiting the let
ters from home on steamer days; the
yellow omnibuses which labored up
and down Washington street like clum-
sy beetles
When the fidelity to the atmosphere
of the times was remarked upon, Miss
Chamberlain laughingly said, 'I ought
to have that. II nothing else, in my
book. I have all of the actual knowl-
edge of those things in my own family"
Miss Chamberlain's grandfather, Lu-
clan Chamberlain, came to California
in 1S49 and was for some years coll
lector of the port here. He was promi-
nent in local affairs and was an init

1t remains for Lucia Chamberlain
to develop the romance of mystery.
In The Other Side of the Door" there
is constant quivering or palpitation,
kind of romantic glow or fervor
entirely different and thoroughly ar
tistic.
And this is accomplished not by
the sensational nature of the Incl
dents of the plot, nor by heroics or
Mysteries, but by most skillful handling
of literary impressionism. The events
in THE Other Side of the Door" are,
indeed, startling enough, involving, as
they do, murder, trial and an es-
cape. But the important point is
that they are viewed through the eyes
of young girl, quaint, charming and
impressionable. Scenes and situations
are evolved not for their own sake.
but for their effect on her. Her
emotions spring to meet them. They
are stamped with the fine impress of
her rare spirit and printed on the SEN
sitized plate of her ardent and ro-
mantle personality.
And so it is that "The Other Side

nent part in il all.
OF the original inspiration of the
book the author, Miss Lucia Chamber
lain, tells interestingly: II first thought
of it when 1 read an old letter written
to my aunt, about 1856, telling of
young woman who was the involuntary
witness of a murder. 1t struck me as
the basis for a story OF great interest
and 1 had it in my mind for three or
four years before 1 began to write it."
The murder referred TO in the old
letter was that of United States Mar
shall Richardson in 1856 by Charles
Cora. a disreputable gambler, which
was one of the exciting events of the
days of the second vigilance commit
tee. The letter told of the visit the
witness was persuaded to make TO La
Belle Cora, mistress OF the murderer,
who was one of the striking figures of
San Francisco's early life.
La Belle was making every effort to
save Cora from the consequences OF his
crime and she threatened the witness
with death unless she withheld her tes-
timony. All of this Miss Chamberlain

nifty for some fine descriptive work.
The only thing to criticise at this point
is that the story goes so fast here that
the reader cannot bear to stop for these
descriptions. fine as they are; he is so
anxious to get on to the climax.
After reading this book one cannot
but wonder again at the modesty Of the
author. 1t is so fine tale that one
would like to congratulate a real per-
son for ii, rather than throw ones COM
pliments to a veiled mystery. One
hopes, too, that the author has not used
up too much material in this book.
Swamp life, city life, desert life; as un-
like as possible. Each one worth
writing a whole book about.
The reviewer has an uncomfortable
feeling of having read something in
the same style as that used in the last
part of the book-the desert portion.
1t Is too vague to grasp. but it puzzles.
The author is not an amateur in writ
ing, surely, but the mystery Is far from
clear yet.
