Contents
The original text
A full-length play about the charlatan Anton Ragazoff, who is posing as a doctor and treats Dr. Geerling’s beautiful daughter for a serious bone structure deficiency. First produced on Broadway by William H. Harris at the 24th Street Theatre in 1924 and first published by Samuel French, 1926.
Translations and adaptations
Filmed 3 times (1926, 1931 and 1939).
Translated into Afrikaans as Die Kwaksalwer ("The Charlatan") by Johann Buhr - much to the chagrin of C. Louis Leipoldt, who had written a play by this name in 1931.
Later translated into Afrikaans as Die Indringer ("The Intruder") by an unknown translator.
