This novel is an adaption founded on the popular play of the same title produced under the management of Wm. A. Brady and Jos. R. Grismer. A Gentleman from Mississippi is a 1908 comedic play by Harrison Rhodes and Thomas A. Wise. It was popular when released, debuting on Broadway on September 28, 1908, and playing for 407 performances at the Bijou Theatre, and on the roof garden of the New Amsterdam Theatre during the summer of 1909. Douglas Fairbanks played the leading role of Bud Haines. The play was also made into a silent film in 1914, where Wise reprised his role, and a young Evelyn Brent was also in the cast. A plan to make another film based on the play in 1936 was never completed.
