Frances Newbold Noyes (1890-1943) was the author of The Bellamy Trial (winner of the Pulitzer Prize, 1927). A silent film of the same name was made in 1929 based on her murder mystery.  Does anyone know what became of her children?  Her ancestry is posted at:   http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=marcwheat&id=I27529   The Library of Congress film preservation facility in Culpeper has a wonderful theater, and classic films are regularly shown.   If we can locate a copy of the Bellamy Trial, perhaps the Library of Congress could show it Thursday night during the weekend of the Germanna Reunion in 2009.  For current listings, see http://www.loc.gov/avconservation/mtponytheater/schedule.html
