~The well-known American playwright, Elmer B. Harris died at the age of 88 ‘at Doctors Hospital in Washington, D.C. last week. Mr. Harris was a well known | figure in Prince Edward Island | having spent his summers here at Fortune Bridge from 1908 un- til. just a few years ago, and what is probably his most fam- ous work ‘‘Johnny Belinda’ was based on the events of a. deaf- mute millhand at Fortune. The play was first produced in 1941 with Helen Craig as the heroine and in 1948 when the story was turned into a motion picture, +Jane~-Wyman~won-an~ academy award for her portrayal of the deaf-mute. heroine. Although Mr. Harris is proba- bly best known for “Johnny Be- linda’, he also had the distinc- tion of having two long run hits on. Broadway, simultaneously in 1931 —‘‘The Modern Virgin’’ with Margaret Sullivan and “Young Sinners” starring 18- year-old Gene Raymond. Other hits of Mr, Harris's in- cluded Trial Marriage and Your Neighbor’s Wife and in 1916 Mr. Harris teamed up with Earl Car- rol to ‘turn Your Neighbor's Wife into the musical So Long, Letty starring Charlotte Greenwood. |

That same year Mr. Harris also presented Carnary Cottage with Trixie Friganza, Charles Ruggles and Eddie Cantor. OTHER WORKS
