A graduate of Stanford University, American screenwriter J.G. Hawks (born John Gerald Hawks) entered films as a director/writer with Broncho in 1913. When feature films became the norm in the latter part of the decade, Hawks concentrated on screenwriting, penning scores of mostly action melodramas but also adapting such lighter fare as Inez from Hollywood (1924), based on an original story by Hollywood reporter Adela Rogers St. Johns, and the ethnic comedy Clandy's Kosher Wedding (1927). Like so many of his contemporaries, Hawks' unfamiliarity with dialogue sealed his fate at the advent of sound and he retired. The 1931 Tiffany release Aloha was a remake of Aloha Oe, a 1915 Thomas Ince production that Hawks had co-written with Willard Mack.
