On her temples there were little daubs of clay, caused doubtless by impatient fingers sweeping back occasional wind blown locks of hair. There was even a daub on the side of her handsome sensitive nose.

MacGrath had eighteen of his forty novels and three of his short stories made into films plus he wrote the story for another four movies. Three of his books were also made into Broadway plays. One of the films made from MacGrath's writings was the 1913 serial The Adventures of Kathlyn featuring Kathlyn Williams. While writing the thirteen episodes he simultaneously wrote the book that was published immediately after the December 29, 1913, premiere of the first episode of the serial so as to be in book stores during the screening of the entire thirteen episodes.Among the movies made from MacGrath's short stories was the 1920 Douglas Fairbanks Production Company's feature-length adventure film The Mollycoddle, based on MacGrath's short story with the same title that appeared in The Saturday Evening Post in 1913. Directed by Victor Fleming, it featured Fairbanks, Ruth Renick, and Wallace Beery and was distributed by the newly created company United Artists.
