==Biography==
Before screenwriting, Yost appeared in plays produced by the Scovell Juvenile Stock Company. Yost finished her fourth year of high school before heading to California to begin work for the film industry. In 1917, she was hired as a secretary assisting the scenario editor at Triangle Film Corporation. Just six months after she was hired, she was promoted to the head of reading department where she reviewed and edited scripts.〔Boyd, Kathryn Yost. “The House of Yost.” Unpublished family history, ca. 1925.〕
Yost wrote her first continuity script at the age of twenty-one in 1920. It was an adaptation of For the Soul of Rafael, based on 1906 novel by Marah Ellis Ryan. Soon enough, in 1927, Los Angeles Times praised Dorothy Yost as being Hollywood’s youngest and most successful scenarist.〔“Scenarist Cites Most Essential Parts of Play.” Los Angeles Times (10 April 1927)〕
By 1927, Yost joined the writing staff of the Film Booking Offices of America Pictures, the same year she married her husband, Dwight Cummings. Dwight Cummings was also part of the writing staff and worked with Yost on Fangs of the Wild in 1928.
