Description
Don/Donald Robert Perry Marquis (1878-1937) was an American humourist, journalist, and author. He was variously a novelist, poet, cartoonist, newspaper columnist, and playwright. He is best remembered for creating the characters "Archy" and "Mehitabel", supposed authors of humourous verse. Marquis joined The Evening Sun in 1912 and edited for the next eleven years a daily column "The Sun Dial". In 1922 he left The Evening Sun (shortened to The Sun in 1920) for the New York Tribune (renamed the New York Herald Tribune in 1924), where his daily column, "The Tower" (later "The Lantern") was a great success. He drew cartoons for The New Yorker, and contributed regular columns to the New York Sun and the Saturday Evening Post. Marquis was the author of about 35 books. His works include: Danny's Own Story (1912), Dreams and Dust (1915), The Cruise of the Jasper B (1916), Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers (1916), Prefaces (1919), Carter and Other People (1921), The Old Soak, and Hail & Farewell (1921), Noah An' Jonah An' Cap'n John Smith (1921) and Poems and Portraits (1922).
