Summary "Motor Matt's Make Up; or, Playing a New rôle" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure story likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the character of Motor Matt, a young and brave motorist, alongside his friends, including Joe McGlory and Carl Pretzel, as they navigate a circus filled with sideshows and unforeseen challenges. The plot hints at a deeper mystery involving a Hindoo hypnotist and a young lady of significance, Margaret Manners, along with an intriguing subplot revolving around letters in Hindoostanee that may hold the key to unlocking various secrets. The opening of the story introduces readers to a lively scene within a circus side-show tent. The cast of eccentric characters, including freaks and performers, is immediately engaging and sets a tone of excitement mixed with chaos. Carl Pretzel unwittingly ignites a Roman candle, setting off a series of comedic mishaps that lead to confusion among the performers. Meanwhile, the tension heightens with the introduction of the mysterious letter, hinting at something more serious lurking beneath the entertainment. As the initial chaos unfolds, there's a sense that the light-hearted beginnings of the story will quickly weave into a more complex and thrilling adventure, setting the stage for Motor Matt to rise to the occasion and confront the challenges ahead.
