A LEXANDRE DUMAS was the
IA Rubens of literature. He lived
4 n sixty-seven years and in that
time produced more plays and books
than strong man could have writ
ten in the same time, using both
hands.
Dumas was the grandson Of
West India mulatto woman-a fact
which he's caused earnest critics OF
the negro race to scratch their heads
doubtfully many times. His grand
father was a French nobleman and
from him Dumas inherited enough
polish to break into the big league
socially and become secretary to a
Duke at S240 a year and board.
He was about twenty at this time.
In 1929 at the age of twenty-six he
produced his first play. 1t netted
him $4,000 and almost as much fame
as he could acquire nowadays by
making funny motions with his feet
before a moving-picture camera.
Dumas Immediately wrote a dozen
more plays and became rich and
powerful. He built his own theatre
and also a country home on which
he spent half a million francs. He
wrote "The Count of Monte Cristo'
ard all France sat up waiting for the
next instalment He was the most
successful OF all writer's and fire.
quently had ten stories and half
dozen love affairs going at once.
Year after year Dumas continued
to turn out stories in incredible
numbers. No magazine would sell
without Dumas story in it and he
accommodated them all. Finally
statistician of nasty investigative
disposition made some calculations
and discovered that Dumas couldn't
