"The Writer in Hollywood" will be the subject of a lecture to be given by Donald Ogden Stewart under the auspices of the English Department next Thursday in Sever 11 at 4:30 o'clock.
Stewart, a popular author of the 1920's, is well known for his works, "perfect Behavior," a burlesque of Emily Post's etiquette series, and "Mr. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad." In 1925, responding to the call of Hollywood, he left the East and moved out to a job writing scenarios for the screen, and he has remained in California a good deal of the time since then. Some of the more famous scripts on which he has worked are "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "The Philadelphia Story," and "Without Love." At present he is residing in Cambridge, preparing a play for the legitimate theatre.
The lecture on Thursday will consist of a discussion of the problems involved in transition from novel to the screen.
