FRANCES MARION,
THE QUEEN OF
SCENARISTS

The long route travelled by
many Of the foremost scenarists
who contribute to the fun of the
films at the present time is,
perhaps. as well exemplified by
the experience OF Frances Marion
as by the career Of anyone else
who writes successfully for the
screen. The illness which net
long ago confined Miss Marion,
in private life Mrs. Fred Thorn
son, wife OF the Pacific Coast
athletic champion who was con-
verted from the pulpit to q stellar
place In picture making, Is not
one of the absolute essentials Of
continuity writing.
However, 1t Is comforting to
know that Frances Marion, noted
scenarist and woman director,
has entirely recovered from her
recent illness. Miss Marion, be-
fore her illness. adapted Secrets"
