Mary Roberts Rinehart -- "America's Agatha Christie," as she used to be called -- set this story in a New York suburban town, shortly after the end of the first world war. Dick Livingstone is a young, successful doctor, who in the course of events becomes engaged to Elizabeth Wheeler. But there is a mystery about his past, and he thinks himself honor-bound to unravel it before giving himself to her in marriage. In particular, a shock of undetermined origin has wiped out his memory prior to roughly the last decade. Rinehart, who presumably had been reading, or reading about, the then popular Sigmund Freud, plays on what today is called "repressed memory," as she takes Dick into his past, and into the dangers that, unknown to him, lurk there. Is she correct about the behavior of memory? Who knows? After all, this is not a clinical treatise, but a work of fiction, one of the thrillers that made her such a popular writer of the earlier twentieth century.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kathryn K. Abdul-Baki was born in Washington D.C. to an Arab father and an American mother. She grew up in Iran, Kuwait, Beirut and Jerusalem where she attended Arabic, British and American schools. She attended the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, has a BA in journalism from George Washington University in Washington D.C., and an MA in creative writing from George Mason University, Virginia. As an astute observer of two distinct cultures, she has published five works of fiction, some of which have been taught at universities in multicultural literature, women's studies and Arab studies departments. Kathryn worked as a journalist and features writer for an English weekly newspaper in Bahrain before devoting her time to writing fiction. Her published works include a collection of short stories, Fields of Fig and Olive: Ameera and Other Stories of the Middle East, and four novels, Tower of Dreams, Ghost Songs, Sands of Zulaika and A Marriage in Four Seasons. She won the Mary Roberts Rinehart award for short fiction, and her novel, Sands of Zulaika was a finalist for the Ariadne Prize. (She has also published in journals such as Confrontation, Shenandoah Review, Phoebe, Union Street Review and WorldVision). Her books are taught at universities in Multicultural Literature and Arab Studies departments and she is a frequent lecturer at universities and schools on these subjects. Universities where she has lectured include Georgetown University, Mary Washington University, University of Virginia, Sarah Lawrence University, Tufts University, New York University, Grand Rapids Community College, University of Southern Maryland and St. Mary's College, Maryland. Kathyrn released in September a new memoir that reflects on love, loss, renewal and overcoming devastating early trauma through music, dancing and the devotion of the strong American and Arab women in her life, called Dancing Into the Light: An Arab-American Girlhood in the Middle East. Kathryn's new book weaves together stories about her bicultural upbringing with an American mother and a Muslim father from Jerusalem (Her family moved from Washington, D.C., to the Middle East when she was very young). Set against the backdrop of the early American presence in Iran under the Shah, and the burgeoning years of Kuwait's early oil boom, Dancing into the Light is Kathryn's memoir of a life disrupted by tragedy. But instead of derailing her life, her mother's death opened the door to deeper love and support from other places within her family. Kathryn discusses: Growing up immersed in disparate cultures, navigating cultural mores and values of two very different societies How people of diametrically different cultures and faiths can coexist in harmony when there is tolerance and respect for the other Dispelling stereotypes of Arab women and misconceptions about Middle Eastern cultures Life as a bicultural person in the Middle East – Kathryn's mother was a Southern woman from Tennessee and her father was a Muslim from Jerusalem How she has seen Kuwait, Jerusalem and other parts of the Middle East change politically, socially and historically over her lifetime Experiences with grief at an early age, and how she found solace following the deaths of her mother and younger brother Overcoming devastating early trauma through music and dancing Ms. Magazine said of Kathryn's work: “Her politics are feminist, her theme is human ethics, and her writing is finely honed.” She has three children and resides with her husband in McLean, Virginia. She loves to dance and teaches and performs Argentine tango in the Washington, DC area.

Episode 14 of Season 2! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The Bat (1959). Day 14 The Bat 1h 20m Released on August 9th 1959, The Bat is an American Mystery film written and directed by Crane Wilbur. The story of the bat originated from a 1908 Novel titled The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Since the novel's release, several adaptations have been made. The first silent film adaptation was made in 1915. However, the next adaptation would be made for the stage. The play adaptation of The Circular Staircase, titled The Bat, was released in 1920. Here's where things get a little convoluted. From here on out, the story would keep the “Bat” title. In the wake of the stage play, the 1915 movie would be re-released as The Bat. However, another silent film adaptation, this time helmed by a fan of the play, would release in 1926. The Bat play would be adapted back into a novel, this time opting to use the Bat title. A sound film remake of the 1926 silent film titled The Bat Whispers would be released in 1930. And finally, The Bat was made into one last film in 1959, which is the version we're watching today. Horror icon Vincent Price was compelled to pursue a role in this film as he recalled being very frightened by the stage play as a child. His attitude would change by the end of production, as he was not happy with the script or the final finished film. When the film was released, it played as a double feature with The Mummy (1959). Five years after The Bat, Cinematographer Joseph F. Biroc would shoot Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, the spiritual predecessor to What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice. Original reception was mixed to poor, and unlike many entries on this list, The Bat does not have a big modern following. One of the cultural byproducts of the Bat story was the creation of the superhero Batman in 1939 according to Batman co-creator Bob Kane, however this film holds the distinction of being the only Bat adaptation made in a post-Batman world. This movie has gone into the public domain, making it a very accessible movie over the internet.

During these stressful times, forced into close quarters with those we love. we may find ourselves growing angry when a softer approach tends to me far more effective as is illustrated in this story.Mary Roberts Rinehart is yet another fine example of a talented early 20th Century authors. Known as The American Agatha Christie, she is best known for her mystery stories. A character in her 1920 play “The Bat” was the inspiration for Bob Kane’s comic book character “Batman.”

Welcome to my new podcast where I drink tea and read old books. In this episode we start reading "The circular staircase" (1908) by Mary Roberts Rinehart. This is a murder mystery of the "Had I but known" variety.

The Bat, by Mary Roberts Rinehart was first performed in 1920 and was heavily influential on murder mysteries. It also inspired Bob Kane to create comic book superhero Batman. Although generally appropriate for any theatre, there are racial stereotypes within the script that will need to be addressed if it were to be produced.

My thoughts on this overlooked sub-set of cozy mysteries. With special mention of my favorite book. The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart.

The Circular Staircase is considered the first in the Had-I-but-known school of thought in detective fiction. And what's that mean? Well you'll have to wait for future episodes to find out. The book was written by Mary Roberts Rinehart and published in 1908. Mary Roberts was considered America's Agatha Christie.
