There were carefully drafted portraits, impressionistic canvases studded with sand and pebbles, meticulous still lifes, primitive religious scenes, paintings of mountains, barn dances, graveyards, oil wells, grasshoppers, madonnas and cathedrals.

At eleven, he was already scribbling playlets for the neighborhood children to act out in the Nathan barn. In his late teens, he went east to Cornell, where he edited the school daily, won a gold medal for fencing, received his B.A. in 1904.

His uncle, Frederic Nirdlinger. a well-known critic and playwright, got him his first job of cub reporter and third-string drama critic...
