There comes a time in every would-be comedy screenwriter's life when he must face thesad and entirely demoralizing fact that his screenplays will never come to production.Perhaps the plays just come at the wrong time when audiences, and producers, demand anentirely different sort of comedy. Perhaps the plays are just too old-fashioned. Perhaps they are not clever enough.Or, perhaps, (I shudder to think) they just are not funny enough. Of course, no two people have exactly the same sense of humor. No two people will laugh at all of the same jokes. No two people will laugh at the same joke with exactly the same degree of intensity.So, with this fact - or belief - in mind, and because I have these screenplays lying aroundmy house and doing nothing else but gathering dust, I unveil these comedies to the harshand cold critics of the world with the hope that just maybe there are two or three kind souls out there who may find them amusing and reward me with a smile or two (of course, cash works too). To you two or three gracious souls, I dedicate these plays.HAMPSTEAD'S GHOSTDorothy Travers courageously ventures to Washington Territory in 1864 in search of herdestiny.
