A dramatist and the director of many productions, including his own comedy, BORN YESTERDAY, and that moving tragedy THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, GARSON KANIN and his wife, Ruth Gordon, have made many rewarding trips to Washington for the sake of seeing Mr. Justice Frankfurter.
Playwright and director, GARSON KANIN began his career as an actor: he gained his experience in production as an assistant to George Abbott and Samuel Goldwyn, and as a director for RKO. In his plays he is a master of dialogue — as anyone who has seen Born Yesterday well knows — and an innovator in his ability to capture the American idiom at any level. In the long story which follows, the narrator, serving time for a pal, has been encouraged by the prison chaplain to write out how it all happened.
