E.V. Durling (1893–1957) was one of the first journalists to cover the Hollywood motion picture industry and later became a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist in the United States, with his column "On the Side."〔("E.V.

He attended Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts, where he played baseball and football, and graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut. He began work as a journalist while still at Wesleyan, as a correspondent for the ''Springfield Republican'' in Massachusetts. He was the Pacific Coast correspondent of the ''New York Morning Telegraph'' from 1915 to 1918, thus becoming one of the first Hollywood reporters. He was in the Coast Guard during World War I, then worked for the ''New York Evening Globe'' and the ''New York Herald.'' In 1924 he left journalism briefly to head the writing department of a Hollywood comedy studio.〔 In 1925 he was general manager of the Fine Arts Motion Picture Company.〔("Eastern Company to Produce Films Here," ''Los Angeles Times,'' March 30, 1925, page A-7 ) ''Access to this link requires the use of a library card.''〕 He returned to journalism in 1931 as a columnist on the ''Los Angeles Express'' and then moved to the Los Angeles ''Illustrated Daily News,''〔 where his column was called "Town Talk." He moved to the ''Los Angeles Times'' on February 16, 1936; his new column, "On the Side" (on the left side of the first page of the local section) was welcomed as a "whimsical, good-natured and slyly philosophical outlook on life."〔("Durling's Column Will Start Next Sunday," ''Los Angeles Times,'' February 9, 1936, page A-1 ) ''Access to this link requires the use of a library card.''〕 He left the ''Times'' in November 1939 when he received an offer from King Features Syndicate to write for national distribution.〔〔("On the Side: Announcement," ''Los Angeles Times,'' November 20, 1939, page A-1 ) ''Access to this link requires the use of a library card.''〕 Durling died in New York City on September 13, 1957, at the age of sixty-four. He was survived by his wife, Joan Marie Durling.〔 ==See also== * List of newspaper columnists 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「E.V. Durling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
