French wikipedia[edit]

Can someone read the French entry to see if there is anything there we could use? Grey Shadow 12:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, there was not too much to mine there - but what there was I have used. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 13:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Grey Shadow 13:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cover[edit]

Any idea on how to find a picture of a 1st edition cover? I've tried Google, but turned up blank. I'll have a look at my local library, but the chance of a French language 1st edition being there is extremely remote. Grey Shadow 13:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

have a go - we may have to temporarily go with a modern English cover. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 14:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added the oldest cover I could find for now. PeregrineV 17:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to move this image to commons, as a duplicate is also on Wikisource: s:Image:Leroux_Chambre_Jaune.jpg. It is currently using {{PD-US}}; as the author died in 1927, there is a good chance that {{PD-old-70}} is also applicable. Any idea who is the illustrator of the cover, and the year they died?

Spoiler[edit]

Does'nt the details of plot in article expose the secret and spoil fun of those who have not read it yet ? Consider removing details...? Jon Ascton (talk) 04:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reading when you get to that point -- I did. There should at least be a Spoiler Alert, as there often is on IMDb. O Murr (talk) 13:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Further reference…[edit]

The opening episode of the 2014 run of the BBC TV series “Jonathan Creek”, entitled The Letters of Septimus Noone (28th Feb 2014), uses the plot device of “The Mystery of the Yellow Room” as a substantial part of the story. In it, the leading lady in a stage-production of a musical adaptation of the “Yellow Room” story (presented as a parody of the Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical of Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera) is found apparently the victim of an attack in her locked dressing-room, although the viewer is shown the attack upon her prior to going to the theatre, and the method and reason for covering up the assault - making the two plots parallel each other.
