Read Leslie Howard's story about his experience with The Werewolf: "The Broadway Premiere"

The Werewolf was originally known to Howard as Spanish Nights. He talks about the play in his diary. However, The New York Times on the night before the play opened on Broadway called it Find the Man, stating it had been "known in the provinces" as The Werewolf and stating also that the play is an adaptation by Gladys Unger of a play from "the German of Rudolph Lothar," which is a reference to Lothar's 1921 play Der Werwolf. "Gossip of the Rialto." The New York Times, August 17, 1924.
