Interviewer: Before you wrote plays, did you write anything else?

Hellman: Yes, short stories, a few poems. A couple of the stories were printed in a long-dead magazine called The Paris Comet for which Arthur Kober worked. Arthur and I were married and living in Paris. Let's see, about 1928, 1929, somewhere in there. They I reread them a few years ago. The were very lady-writer stories. The kind of stories where the man puts his fork down and the woman knows it's all over. You know.
