Anybody got any movies of Riley poems?  They may be out there.  In a contract of Sept. 1, 1928, the legal heirs of James Whitcomb Riley disclosed that there were folk who had bought movie rights to Riley poems.  We at jameswhitcombriley.com assume they would be "still movies" or such.  We will put a couple of the pages of the contract referred to and the list of the movie rights outstanding at that time on the web page.  If anybody has a Riley movie please let us know and we will try to make a video of it for jameswhitcombriley.com (although we may not have anybody around who can do it - no guarantees.) Remember these were 1928 prices.  Also isn't it interesting that Riley was so hot an item as to have literary rights for his heirs to live on for so long!  Riley was of course the wealthiest writer in American literary history (at the time of his death - not during his agonizingly poor youth and young adulthood) because his poems were so popular and touched the hearts of literally everybody in America.
