Who's Who on the Screen BAYARD VEILLER "Within the Law" made Bayard Veiller internationally famous. However, Mr. Veiller wrote thirty plays before he took his place in the world's hall of fame. He "did police" for a New York daily and in that rigid training school gained his power to portray human nature just as it is. He earned the title of "The Billy Sunday of the Theater," after his play "The Fight" aroused much discussion. "The Primrose Path" brought him artistic recognition and made his wife, Margaret Wycherly, famous. His latest dramas are "The Kind Hearted Burglar" and "The Woman They Couldn't Catch.'' Ten of his plays have been made into motion pictures. He will write four stories a year for Metro, among them a sequel to "Within the Law." He has recently completed a script for Louise Glaum with a South Sea setting. 401
