Biography
Marvin Dana stepped into cinema history with a single, silent lightning-flash: on 1 March 1915 his screen adaptation of Robert Service’s Yukon blood-ballad, The Shooting of Dan McGrew, rolled into theaters, carrying his name as writer and cementing him—forever—as the man who froze gold-rustling passion into flickering black-and-white.
