On September 23, 1909, the Parisian daily newspaper, Le Gaulois,
published its first installment of Gaston Leroux's Le Fantome de
l'Opera (The Phantom of the Opera). This type of serialized
publication, in France called a "feuilleton," was common from the
middle of the 19th century through the beginning of the 20th
century. Many authors of the day published their novels section by
section in newspapers to gain readership and to work out ideas
before the publication of the first edition. Between the newspaper
printing and the first edition, it was common for chapters to be
added, rewritten, or removed as part of the editing process. In the
feuilleton of Le Fantome de l'Opera, Gaston Leroux wrote a chapter
called "L'enveloppe magique" ("The Magic Envelope"). Leroux decided
to omit this chapter from his first edition, and so it only
appeared in Le Gaulois. Since the feuilleton has never been
translated, few people apart from the most dedicated Phantom
enthusiasts are familiar with this lost chapter. For the first
time, the text of "The Magic Envelope" has been translated into
English so that fans of The Phantom of the Opera can read this
forgotten gem. This chapter provides explanations for several
enigmas that have puzzled readers since Leroux's first edition, and
it offers a fascinating glimpse into the writing process of one of
France's literary icons.
