Mr. Wu Based on the Play "Mr. Wu" by H. M. Vernon and Harold Owen

A British journalist and playwright from the Potteries, he is remembered for writing vividly about working life in Staffordshire and for co-authoring the long-running stage success Mr. Wu. His work ranges from social history to polemical commentary, giving a sharp glimpse of early 20th-century debates.

Best remembered for the stage hit Mr. Wu, this early 20th-century playwright and screenwriter moved from Broadway to Hollywood and saw his work adapted for film more than once.
