After beginning his career as a crime reporter and war correspondent, he lived an adventurous life that took him to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and even into North Africa disguised as an Arab. His high-spirited, often dangerous, escapades and questioning nature provided much of the background and plot material for his sensational mystery and adventure stories, particularly those starring his reporter\/sleuth Joseph Rouletabille. One of his most famous detective novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Mystery of the Yellow Room\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1907. His works have been called \"among the finest examples of the detective stories we possess.\" But Leroux's best-known story is \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom of the Opera\u003c\/i\u003e (1911), whose macabre hero has been played in films by classic horror film stars Lon Chaney and Claude Rains. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr. John L.
