Sewell Collins
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Sewell Collins (1876–1934[1]) was an American dramatist and producer.
Collins wrote several plays which were later adapted for film, including At 9:45 (1919) which was filmed as Nine Forty-Five (1934) and starred Binnie Barnes and Donald Calthrop.[2] In his play G.H.Q. Love (1920), Collins was one of the first playwrights to depict prostitutes without judgment, depicting women who turned to that trade, according to theatre historian Sos Eltis, "as social deprivation and economic necessity."[3] His wife was actress Margaret Moffat.
