"No melodrama that I have been able to invent in my thirty years of inventing has been more packed with crimes and betrayals, perils and escapes, than the story of William Fox. No thriller among the 750 feature pictures which Fox himself produced during twenty-five years as a producer was ever so perfectly constructed, with its humble hero battling his way to power, its polished villains, conspirators of high estate, each with a carnation in his buttonhole; its complications of intrigue, its mysteries, some of them never solved to this day, its cruel suffering and its grand climax - the hero escaping with the greater part of his fortune, and the villains dragged down to ruin by the judgment of an implacable Providence".(Prologue). Pp.xviii/395/1(publisher's catalogue), black & white portrait photo, slight toning to pages.Orange cloth with black titles to front and spine, `slight sunning to spine. VG.
