Exhibitors Trade Review -- 15-September-1923 |
100 years ago today, on 22-November-1916, writer Jack London died at
his ranch in Glen Ellen, California. For many years, people said his
death was a suicide because of ill-health, but it was probably a result
of sickness, alcoholism and an accidental overdose of morphine. His was
the first case I can remember reading of someone who died as an
atheist. I spent a lot of time thinking about it, especially when we
visited his resting place, under a big rock at Glen Ellen.

One of his most popular novels,
The Call of the Wild, has been made into at least five motion pictures and one television series. People love dog stories.
