The San Francisco new start took place in the 1940’s. It was a movement that encouraged experimentation in the arts and literature. It was during that period when Vance gave himself a try at being a professional writer. He was able to make a sale with Twentieth Century Fox, one of his most lucrative, for a Magnus Ridolph story. The Captain Video series on television was popular at that time. It was for that particular TV show that Twentieth Century Fox hired Vance as a screenwriter.
