Larry Edward Evans was an American novelist and playwright who died in 1925. Reliable reference sources describe him as a writer whose stories were frequently adapted for stage productions and films, which suggests he had a solid place in popular entertainment of his era.
Some of his fiction was serialized in Metropolitan Magazine in New York, a widely read publication in the early 20th century. He is also remembered through screen adaptations such as Then I'll Come Back to You and The Fighting Heart, which show how naturally his storytelling carried over into silent-era cinema.
Although detailed biographical information seems limited, the surviving record points to a writer with a real feel for dramatic, adaptable stories—work that could live as prose, performance, and film.
