Beulah Marie Dix

Hugh Gwyeth: a Roundhead Cavalier Beulah Marie Dix

Beulah Marie Dix (1876-1970) was an American novelist, playwright, and one of the silent era's legendary female screenwriters, Dix adapted such works as The Squaw Man (1918), The Affairs of Anatol (1921), The Spanish Dancer (1923), her own The Road to Yesterday (1925), and Trent's Last Case (1929), all of them major motion pictures of the day. Hugh Gwyeth tells the adventures of a teenager during the Cromwellian period. As Roundheads supported Cromwell and the Cavaliers supported the King, Hugh appears to have been conflicted.
