It Seems to Heywood Broun

Broun, Heywood | April 9, 1930 issue

The article discusses performing arts. It is unfortunate, but perhaps inevitable, that when any- body writes a play or wins a battle there should be controversy about the credit. So it is in the case of "The Green Pastures." To be sure, the author of the book and the dramatist are wholly amicable, but here and there has come the shot of snipers from the sidelines. The critics of the New York press have tossed too many laurels in the direction of Marc Connelly and neglected author Roark Bradford, who wrote "0l' Man Adam an' His Chillun."
