1920

1. Los Angeles Evening Herald (March 9, 1920)   "Ten Humor Rules Given by Author of 'Pigs is Pigs'"   Written by Adela Rogers St. John (b. 1894, d. 1988). Includes a photo of the author (the same photo as printed in July 1925 issue of Sunset Magazine) and a photo of the elder Butler with his son Ellis Olmsted (called "Ellis, Jr." in the caption). The similarly named article in Photoplay Magazine reprints major portions of this article. Ms. St. John was acting as publicist for King Vidor's film company (First National Pictures), which made the motion picture version of "Jack-Knife Man" this same year.
