Novelists Despised DeMille

The William J. Locke estate did not want DeMille to adapt 'The Coming of Amos' into a film because they didn't like his previous work. Having seen the film I can understand their reservation. He just couldn't tell a story at this stage in his career, and I'm surprised that he remained within the industry.
