- Clarence Harris, was a man of diverse interests. A Universalist clergyman (at one time a missionary in Appalachia), he pursued a variety of careers. During World War I he served in the Department of the Navy at Washington. Before then, he had been associated with the Fox studios in Long Island, where he wrote his two film scripts, and doubtless collaborated on a number of others, until he had a rupture with Fox himself. After the war he entered the early aircraft industry in New Jersey. He was a published author of animal (especially dog) stories. During the 1930s he was pastor of Washington Heights Universalist Church in New York City. In addition, he owned and operated a boys' navy-style camp in the Adirondack mountains: which was eventually a failure because he was not able to turn away young men who could not afford the fees.
