  The Exploits of Elaine by Arthur B. Reeve: Chapter XII. The Blood Crystals
Elaine was going out, when she met Perry Bennett almost on the steps of the house.
Elaine followed in a moment, loyally, to protect her supposed friend, but found that the door had a snap lock on the other side.
Elaine noticing some spots on her hands and seeing that they were stained by the blood of Long Sin, wiped the spots off on her hankerchief, dropping it on the floor.

Elaine had returned and as she sat down at the desk to go over some papers which Bennett had left relative to settling up the estate, the masked intruder stealthily and silently withdrew.
No sooner had Elaine disappeared than Michael appeared again, cat- like, through the curtains from the drawing room, and, after a glance about the dimly lighted library, discovering that the coast was clear, motioned to a figure hiding behind the portieres.
Elaine, unable to repress her interest took a half step forward, breathless, from the doorway, while Susie Martin and Aunt Josephine stood close behind her.

Meanwhile, the secretary had been doing his best to revive Elaine, who was lying in a chair, hysterical and half unconscious from the terrible shock she had experienced.

 BBC - h2g2 - The Clutching Hand - his Lives and Times
In the early years of cinema the serial became a popular attraction in theatres, especially with the invention of the cliffhanger, a dangerous moment that ends one chapter and is not resolved until the next.
Time after time Elaine is threatened, and her life, along with Kennedy's, remains in danger so long as the Clutching Hand is at large.
Imagine the reaction as Perry Bennett, alone in a room with Elaine, and realising that his plans were about to be discovered, contorted his hand and crept up on Elaine, revealed in his true colours at last.

 Movie Info for The Exploits of Elaine on MSN Movies
Although not as remembered as The Perils of Pauline (also 1914), The Exploits of Elaine was by all accounts the superior serial, grossing over $1 million dollars and further establishing its athletic leading lady Pearl White as the serial queen to beat.
White played Elaine Dodge, whose father (William Riley Hatch) is murdered for some papers that may reveal the secret hideaway of a notorious and ruthless master criminal known only as The Clutching Hand (Sheldon Lewis).
Produced by the Wharton Brothers in and around Ithaca, New York, The Exploits of Elaine was co-directed by George B. Seitz, an early serial expert who is today perhaps better known for helming M-G-M's pleasantly nostalgic "Andy Hardy" series 1937-1944.

I wanted to stay, but Elaine, smiling at my enthusiasm, shook her head and held out her hand in one of her frank, straight-arm hand shakes.
Together, Kennedy, Elaine and myself lifted Dodge to a sofa and Elaine's aunt, Josephine, with whom she lived, appeared on the scene, trying to quiet the sobbing girl.
He spoke tensely and Elaine, looking up into his face, as if imploring his help in her hour of need, unable to speak, merely grasped his hand.

Six months ago, The Exploits Of Elaine were in serious danger of being forever labelled as just another Mogwai-loving post-rock ensemble.
Fast forward to October '06 and whilst the same four bodies are sat, nervously I might add, with various pieces of equipment ranging from what looks like a sitar to (no, is it really?) a wok strewn at their feet, the sounds they are making are a million miles away from anything they'd previously attempted.
If marks out of ten were given for bravery, The Exploits Of Elaine would score a mighty eleven, as the three pieces of music that encompass their set range from barbershop quartet harmonies to contemporary zither music, if ever there was such a thing.

Beginning in 1910, Reeve has been astounding American readers with the adventures and exploits of his scientist/detective, Craig Kennedy.

When local experimentalists The Exploits Of Elaine take to the stage, most of Nottingham probably isn't even aware that the doors are open, and they end up playing a good three quarters of their set to an empty, vacuous space.
Whilst it would be easy (and downright lazy) to label The Exploits Of Elaine as mere post-rock apologists, their incendiary racket consists of mood-symphonies in the key of noise, and by the time they get to the epic finale, the other half of the city has finally woken up to rejoice at their feet.
Next up is Micah Blue Smaldone, one time punk rock enthusiast but now one-man troubadour of the American underground anti-folk scene.

It analyses the strategy through which the French distributors made a `patriotic movie' out of The Exploits of Elaine, and attempts a critical history of those few but significant films that came to be known as the `preparedness serials'.
I suggest that the amazing success of the American serial in France has to be understood as an instance of female fandom.
