Checkmate (Lawrence/Lee)
Jerome Lawrence
Only in America
by Jerome Lawrence, Robert E. Lee, Harry Golden
Synopsis
The story of a North Carolina Jewish journalist, a transplant from New York's Lower East Side.
He's full of humor - an Hebraic Will Rogers - and the play abounds with his dry witticisms.
After the publication of his first book, an anonymous letter to a New York paper opens his old wound and he feels he'll have to fold up.
But swarms of telegrams' persuade him to stay.
