Mr. Shirley is waiting for you in the grill-room, sir. Just step this way, sir, and down the stairs. The large man awkwardly followed the servant to the cosey grill-room on the lower floor of the club house. He felt that every man of the little groups about the Flemish tables must be saying: "What's he doing here?" "I wish Monty Shirley would meet me once in a while in the back room of a ginmill, where I'd feel comfortable," muttered the unhappy visitor. "This joint is too classy. But that's his game to play -"

Autorenporträt
Eustace Hale Ball (1881-1931) was an American writer, screenwriter, and director who contributed to early 20th-century literature and cinema. He is best known for his detective novel The Voice on the Wire and his work in the emerging film industry. Ball authored several works related to crime and social issues, including Traffic in Souls: A Novel of Crime and Its Cure (1914), which focused on the theme of crime, as well as Bubbles from Gotham's Pierian Spring, a novel set against the backdrop of New York City's social scene. In addition to his novels, Ball wrote several books aimed at aspiring screenwriters, such as The Art of the Photoplay (1913) and Photoplay Scenarios: How to Write and Sell Them (1915). His contributions to the film industry helped shape the early development of storytelling for cinema. Ball was also featured in an interview for The Editor: A Handbook for Scenario Writers (1917), where he shared his expertise on writing for film. Despite his influence in both literature and cinema, Eustace Hale Ball remains a relatively lesser-known figure in the history of early American film and fiction.
