About ten years ago, Clifford Odets, having apparently written himself out of the Bronx, went to Hollywood. This was a cause for dismay among the people who hailed him as the Golden Boy of the Thirties, the man who brought a fresh, now and vibrant voice to the theater, a voice that spoke out for the underprivileged.
