On 22 September, 1909, the Parisian daily newspaper, Le Gaulois, ran the advertisement pictured above, announcing the serialization of Gaston Leroux's new novel, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra.
Leroux's novel premiered on 23 September, 1909 — 115 years ago today. It ran for 15 weeks, and it was segmented into 68 sections, each section covering roughly half a chapter's worth of content.
To celebrate 115 years of Le Fantôme de l'Opéra in print, over the next 15 weeks I will be posting all 68 sections of the Gaulois publication of Phantom to my blog. These posts will correspond with the original dates of publication.
Here is a link to Le Gaulois for 22 September, 1909. The advert for Phantom is in the middle of the page.
And in case you are wondering what the text of the advertisement above says, here is my translation:
Weary of purely psychological novels, the public awoke one day with a great desire to hear stories. Straightaway, these stories were served up — tales of bandits and policemen — assuredly quite amusing, but which soon grew tedious in their turn, yet without appeasing the public's thirst for mystery and magic. This is why the Gaulois has requested from one of the public's most rightly beloved authors, M. Gaston Leroux, a novel which, while departing from the genre dear to the Conan Doyles of the Old and New World, is still replete with the delectable inquietude that will give a thrill to the beguiled reader. More than once, this irresistible anguish will conjure in the minds of some of our female readers the dreadful, terrifying, ghostly, and sorrowfully human image, despite all of the illusion that surrounds it, of The Phantom of the Opera. We need not introduce our readers to M. Gaston Leroux, whom it is generally agreed is in possession of the most astonishing suppleness of imagination of which one can conceive, but we would indeed like to say that The Phantom of the Opera is worthy of achieving even greater success in the Gaulois than that which was attained in the Illustration by The Mystery of the Yellow Room and The Perfume of the Lady in Black, by the same author. Tomorrow, this Thursday, in the "Gaulois," read: The Phantom of the Opera by M. Gaston Leroux

> During the bourgeois revolutions, bloodshed, terror, and political murder were an indispensable weapon in the hand of the rising classes.
> The proletarian revolution requires no terror for its aims; it hates and despises killing. It does not need these weapons because it does not combat individuals but institutions, because it does not enter the arena with naïve illusions whose disappointment it would seek to revenge. It is not the desperate attempt of a minority to mold the world forcibly according to its ideal, but the action of the great massive millions of the people, destined to fulfill a historic mission and to transform historical necessity into reality.

TODAY'S FROZEN MOMENT - 115th Anniversary July 19th, 1909 - This gorgeous silhouette photo was made of British aviator Hubert Latham in his aircraft he called “Antoinette”…. As he made his valiant attempt at crossing the English Channel for the prize money promised to the first person to do so by the London newspaper The Daily Mail. This 20th century Icarus was sadly not successful in his attempt… But… he did manage to score some aviation “firsts” with this effort… Latham was the first person to attempt crossing the Channel in an aircraft… And he was the first person to make a successful landing of an aircraft onto water… And he was the first person to smoke a cigarette in a plane… But I think the greatest thing to come out of his attempt was this photograph which is truly beautiful… the photographer’s identity is lost to history, but thankfully we were left the shot…

It was the 115th anniversary of The Wind in the Willows on the 8th of October.
I reread it earlier this year, possibly for the first time since I was a child, and it certainly struck me in a different way. There were large parts of the story, such as the chapter The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, that I didn't remember.
Another thing that struck me was how different England must have been 115 years ago. If there's a villain in the story then it must be the motor car, tearing through the countryside, upsetting the older, slower way of life like it upset the canary yellow caravan, and straining the friendship between Toad and the others.

Perhaps the thing that would destroy Grahame's England the most was waiting just over the horizon in 1908. A little over a decade later, the world would emerge from the worst conflict in history. I doubt if the River Bank and 'messing about in boats' could have survived this, or its equally destructive successor two decades later.
Sometimes I feel like the world described by Kenneth Grahame is more of a fantasy than Middle Earth.

Happy Birthday to Le Fantôme de l’Opéra
It’s that time of year again, when we give birthday wishes to Le Fantôme de l’Opéra! On Thursday, 23 September, 1909, the first section of Gaston Leroux’s novel was printed in the Parisian daily newspaper, Le Gaulois. Phantom has now been in print for 115 years!
Follow along for the next 15 weeks as we celebrate the 115th year of Phantom in print by experiencing the 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra as they first appeared in the feuilleton section of Le Gaulois.
As you will see, there are major changes that Leroux and his editors made between the feuilleton version of Le Fantôme in Le Gaulois and the 1910 first edition, including the deletion of an entire chapter, called “The Magic Envelope,” for which I created the first published English translation, which you can read here.

Boy Scouts of America will change its name to “Scouting America” next February to be more inclusive, the 114-year-old organization announced yesterday. The rebrand will occur on the 115th anniversary of the Boy Scouts’ establishment and seven years after it began admitting women in 2018.
This latest move toward “inclusion” is likely motivated by the Boy Scouts’ desire to increase its memberships and rehab its image — both of which have suffered under widespread accusations of sexual assault and misconduct by past troop leaders.
The group filed for bankruptcy in 2020 after paying more than $150 million to settle lawsuits related to past assaults and allegations of misconduct. It still owes $2.4 billion to more than 80,000 other victims.
In this social climate, its rarely a bad idea for an organization to demonstrate its...
