He retired from active newspaper work in 1925 and took up the career of a playwright, magazine contributor, a book writer, and, some seven years ago spent a brief period in the motion picture field. Several of his literary creations have found their way to the screen. He is survived by his two sisters, the Misses Bernice and Minerva Marquis. Funeral arrangements are pending. |
