A Man" Wright claimed he had
sold it as a silent picture and he
didn't intend to have his characters
talking out loud. Lesser sued and
won. The picture was an outstand-
ing hit, despite the critics, who
never did change their minds about
Wright'S literary outpouringS.
With riches came fame and with
that came many an unpleasant mo-
ment for the tall and almost cadav-
erous author, who hau seen his
two sons become successful and who
wanted to spend his remaining
years in solitude with his second
wife.
He displayed his taste for soli-
tude as a youth, when a seige OF

his first chance to preach. He
found the mountaineerS lovable and

He deserted the ministry in 1908
and again sought solitude in Ell
Centro, Cal, where he wrote three
of his most popular novels.
He bought a ranch near Tucson,
Ariz., and built an Indian style
house, only to be amazed at the
tourists who wanted glimpse of
his Lincolnesque profile.
Il sadly underestimated the in
quisitiveness of the public" he said
You wouldn't believe the astrono-
mical lengths to which the curios-
ity seekers went. They used my

in my pool. When four of them
stood with their noses at my din
