Very rare photo of screenwriter Frances Guihan in March ‘57. Born September 22, 1890, in East St. Louis, Guihan started writing scenarios in 1916 for Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa, then became a serial writer for Ruth Roland in 1920. Her first screenplay of many for Buck Jones was “The Throwback” in ‘35. Guihan contributed scripts for Tim McCoy and Charles Starrett at Columbia. Her last was “Frontier Scout” for George Houston in ‘38. Not depending entirely on film writing for a living, Guihan owned a profitable anti-gray hair tonic company. She died December 21, 1951.
