Although the column attached on the right is a book review covering the 1923 novel by Rupert Hughes (1872 – 1952), Within These Walls, we have posted it in this category due to the fact that in our age, more people see his movies than read his books. In fact, the bulk of the review refers to his Hollywood efforts (he had over 65 credits before retiring) rather than his novels (thirty titles):
“The moving pictures to him are a new art. He is proud to be one of those associated with the early development of this art. That his pictures have been in the eyes of the critics more popular than artistic does not worry him greatly.”
