        In reply to the query about plays adapted from films, I can say
that in Quebec it has been done several times in the twenties, mainly with
melodramas adapted from films like «The White Sister» and «The Sheik». A
paper I have written about that will appear in the next issue of «Cinema
Journal»; I am quite sure it was done elsewhere also, probably in similar
contexts: small countries importing foreign film and thus adapting foreign
narratives.
