| Playwright, born in Atlantic, Pennsylvania, USA. He studied at Stanford (MA), then became an editor with the New Republic (1918–24). In collaboration with Lawrence Stallings, he achieved his first success as a playwright with the realistic war drama, What Price Glory? (1924). In later works he alternated between romantic blank verse, such as Elizabeth the Queen (1930) and Winterset (1935), and more realistic dramas, such as Key Largo (1939) and The Bad Seed (1954). |
