Biography
A champagne-house address—17 Berkeley Square—served as Cosmo Gordon Lennox’s cradle on 17 August 1868, launching a Mayfair boy into a life of ink, greasepaint and celluloid. Between the war years he spun stories that danced onto screens on both sides of the Atlantic: first the sparkling courtship farce *The Marriage of Kitty* (1915), followed by the brooding carnival mystery *The Puppet Man* (1921). Even the grave could not silence his pen; posthumously came the Cavalier swashbuckler *The Van Dyck* (1939), released long after consumption had claimed him in the riverside town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, on 31 July 1921.
