George R* Sims^ Plays Now Available For Pictures
More than twenty sparkling English plays from the pen of George R. Sims are now available to Hollywood producers.
Sims (famous "DAGONET" of the London "REFEREE") was for many years the most prohfic and successful of the English playwrights. Some twenty dramas are credited to him, many of which are still to be seen in England. As a novelist and poet he also shone. His comedy and melo-dramas contain an everlasting punch while his dialogue is most forceful, combined his works make splendid vehicles for the "talking picture" which now unquestionably is here to stay.
