Many farcical complications ensue. Ms. Ryerson (1892-1965) came to the movies in the mid-1920s, after having already established herself as a journalist and writer of short fiction; she often wrote in collaboration with her second husband, Colin Clements, who she married in 1927. They co-authored numerous plays (including three that made it to Broadway in the 1940s) and several mystery novels, and Ryerson herself had quite a decent string of movie credits, including as one of the three credited screenwriters on THE WIZARD OF OZ. Ms. Miller (1894-1985) was most active as a scenarist during the 1920s, with just a handful of credits after that.
