Has anyone come across this name?  Here's all I know:  he taught one
section of a photoplay writing course at Columbia in the 30s.

He had a play produced at Columbia in the 30s.

At the beginning of the 1940s, he (or someone with the same name) worked
in a southern university making a documentary film for the drama dept.
(the NY Times identifies him as a documentary expert).

Thanks!
