Cohen's character of Jim Hanvey, "a sort of backwoods Nero Wolfe", "one of the earliest private eyes"[1], appeared in two films; Curtain at Eight (1933), based on his novel "The Backstage Mystery", and Jim Hanvey, Detective (1937), based on his original story. "Hanvey made most of his appearances in short stories in the Saturday Evening Post, where much of ... Cohen's other work was also published. ... Cohen created a few other detectives ... one of the first black eyes, Florian Slappey, although they're more famous now for their unflattering portrayal of blacks than their historical significance."[2]
