Biographical Information
Sidney Coe Howard, playwright, was born in Oakland, California, June 26, 1891, the son of John Lawrence and Helen (Coe) Howard.
He attended public schools in Oakland and graduated from the University of California in 1915. As an undergraduate he already
displayed an interest in the theater, collaborating with Frederick Faust (who later achieved fame under the pseudonym "Max
Brand") in writing the junior farce and the senior extravaganza. For Leonard Bacon's poetry seminar he wrote "Sons of Spain,"
a blank verse tragedy which was produced in the Forest Theatre in Carmel, California, in 1914. From Berkeley Howard went to
Harvard to attend Professor George Pierce Baker's famous "47 Workshop" in playwriting.
During World War I he volunteered his services as an ambulance driver, serving in France and the Balkans. After U.S. entry
into the war he enlisted in the air service and was on active duty as a flyer at the French front. On his return to the United
States he settled in New York City and joined the staff of
Life, eventually becoming a literary editor. As a free-lance reporter, he also wrote a number of articles on current issues which
appeared in
The Survey,
Collier's and
The New Republic, and short stories as well.
While holding down these jobs he also found time to work on plays, the first of which to appear on Broadway was
Swords (1921), a melodrama in verse. For the next two seasons Howard devoted himself to translations and adaptations of foreign
plays, and to a collaboration with Edward Sheldon on
Bewitched, which won him increased recognition in the theater world. His first big success came in 1924 when the Theatre Guild produced
They Knew What They Wanted which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. 1926 became his most successful year with two plays,
Ned McCobb's Daughter and
The Silver Cord winning popular acclaim. Hardly a year followed in which his name did not appear on a play as author or adaptor.
From 1929 onward he did much work also as a screen writer, and, until his death, divided his time between the stage and the
screen. His list of scenario credits includes such successes as
Bulldog Drummond,
Arrowsmith, which won an Academy Award in 1931,
Dodsworth, and
Gone With the Wind, for which he was posthumously given an Academy Award in 1940.
A strong spokesman for the profession, he was elected president of the Dramatists' Guild of the Authors' League of America
in 1935, serving in the crucial years when a new basic agreement was hammered out between playwrights and producers. In 1938
he, in partnership with Maxwell Anderson, S. N. Behrman, Elmer Rice and Robert E. Sherwood, formed the Playwrights' Company,
pooling their dramatic and financial resources to produce their own plays independently.
He was married twice: in 1922 to Clare Eames, actress, niece of Emma Eames, the opera singer, and in 1931 to Leopoldine (Polly)
Damrosch, the daughter of Walter Damrosch.
His life was cut short on August 23, 1939, by a tragic accident when a tractor crushed him against the side of a barn on his
farm in Tyringham, Massachusetts. The very morning of his death he had been working on a play based on Carl Van Doren's
Benjamin Franklin.
