Popular novel, first published in 1912, based on a play of the same name by Edward Hemmerde and Francis Neilson. According to the Preface: "Of all the English plays that have come to this country none has created more of a sensation than "A BUTTERFLY ON THE WHEEL," and without question will be received the same by the public over the entire country as it has been received in New York. The play opened at the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre on Tuesday evening, January 9th, and has played to "standing room only" at every performance since.”
