Chinese Fables and Folk Stories The Hendry County News Dixie Crystal Theatre
Mary Hayes Davis (c. 1884 – May 18, 1948) was an American writer, a newspaper editor and publisher, and the owner of several movie theaters. She is best known as the co-author of Chinese Fables and Folk Stories, which she wrote with Reverend Chow Leung, while based in Chicago.[1][2] Published in 1908 and widely reprinted today, the compilation claimed to be “the first book of Chinese stories ever printed in English”.[3][2] Between 1908 and 1912, Davis collected Native American folk tales from the Pima and Apache tribes in Oklahoma and Arizona,[4][5] for a book she never completed. In the early 1920s, Davis moved to southwest Florida, where she published TheHendry County News,[6][7] and later owned and operated a chain of seven movie theaters.[6] In 1926, The Tampa Tribune called Davis "the heroine of LaBelle" for her courageous reporting of the lynching of Henry Patterson, despite threats of further mob violence.[8] In 1928, The Hendry County News received the Florida Newspaper Association award for Best Community News Service.[9] In 1998, the Dixie Crystal Theatre in Clewiston, which Davis had opened in 1941, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[10]
