Gertrude Atherton, American novelist, passed through Salt Lake yesterday afternoon af-ternoon on her way to Los Angeles, where she will supervise the staging of some of her best known novels into moving pictures. Mrs. Atherton came from New York, where she had been since returning from her last visit to France. She was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Russell, and two young granddaughters, who joined her in Chicago Chi-cago and will be with her in California. Mrs. Russell has recently been in Red Cross work. Mrs. Atherton and her fam- ily will be located at Beverly Hill, near Ocean Park. Her books will be staged at the studio at Culver City, -Cab, under the direction of Rex Beach and Goldwyn. Mrs. Atherton said she was going to California to see that the scenarios of her novels followed the text and characterization char-acterization in some measure, since former for-mer works of hers which had been put on the screen could scarcely be recognized. recog-nized. "I hope later," the novelist said, "to spend some time in your interesting city, with the view to gathering material for a book. From what I have heard, its atmosphere and history would be an inspiration in-spiration for literary work. I have not written anything recently and will be busy the next few months seeing a number num-ber of my books put into films. 'The Purging of Satan,' which, as you know, is laid in Montana, will be perhaps the the first to be put on the screen and will doubtless be ready for presentation by fall." |
