About Title: Behind that Curtain lies -- what? Charlie Chan's greatest case and Earl Derr Biggers most exciting story. You know Charlie Chan the Honolulu detective, whose popularity has grown -- so Charlie himself would put it -- with unbearable force. There was his first novel, Seven Keys to Baldpate. Dramatized by George Cohan, it made theatrical history. There was The Agony Column, which many readers regard as the most ingenious story done in our time. There were The House Without a Key and The Chinese Parrot. In these novels Mr Biggers first introduced Charlie Chan. In Behind That Curtain the murder in San Francisco of Sir Frederic Bruce, former head of Scotland Yard, is the center of the plot. Before the motives of that mysterious deed are laid bare, there develops a romance of three continents. "There are more women in it than in the Follies," complains Captain Flannery of the San Francisco Police; and one of them evoked an extraordinary gallantry, devotion and sacrifice. About Series: Charlie Chan was featured as the famous detective in six novels by Earl Derr Biggers written between 1925 and 1932. He would be immortalized in 44 films on Hollywood's silver screen, most notably by Sidney Toler (1874-1947), Warner Oland (1880-1938) & Roland Winters (1904-89). About Author: Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933), born in Warren, Ohio, was the creator of the famous Charlie Chan character. Charlie Chan was loosely based on the real life exploits of two Chinese detectives from Honolulu -- Chang Apana and Lee Fook.
