About this issue

This penny dreadful novelization adapts Charles Darrell's successful stage drama. The narrative centers on Queenie Carruthers, "The White Queen of the Slack Wire," a beautiful and virtuous circus performer. Orphaned as an infant and raised by circus proprietor Bob Jones and his wife, Queenie becomes the star attraction of the Grand Cosmopolitan Circus after her professional debut. The cast includes David Engleheart, a refined trapeze artist whose admiration for Queenie is evident nightly, and Miss Hilda Corrode, a skilled horsewoman of Italian beauty and haughty temperament. The story encompasses backstage circus life, romantic interest from multiple quarters, and themes of virtue, social class, and respectability within the circus milieu. Additional dramatic serials and theatrical novelizations are advertised, published by Street & Smith.
