1917. With frontispiece by James Montgomery Flag. Hughes, prolific playwright, novelist and screenwriter, entered American film in 1914 as a story writer for Vitagraph and other early studios. He adapted many of his plays and novels to the silent screen including We Can't Have Everything. This novel follows the marital entanglements and disentanglements of Charity Coe Cheever and the infamously rich Jim Dyckman. The more they untangle one knot, the faster more confusing knots appear!
