Elmer Rice is one of the major American playwrites who contributed significantly to the development of American drama in a career which spanned over fifty years. Rice was born Elmer Leopold Reizenstein in New York in 1892.
In his childhood, his family was constantly worried about money. He was forced to work at age fourteen. From 1908 to 1914, he worked as a file clerk at his cousin’s law firm. During this period he attended the New York Law School, but he quit his job at the law firm only a few weeks after being admitted to the New York bar. He was resolved to write plays.
His early work experience helped to shape his view of reality and influenced his writing. He started his career as a playwrite in 1914. In 1935. he accepted the directorship of the New York Federal Theatre Project and only resigned his position in 1936. It 1938, he organized a production group, the Playwrites Company, with Maxwell Anderson, Sydney Kingsly, S. M. Berman, and Robert Sherwood. It was a major theatrical force in New York.
Rice is a brave fighter, who uses the stage as his vehicle. His main interest is in the social aspects of life. He has written about the ugliness of the impersonal business society, which makes possible such tragedies as those he describes in The Adding Machine, Street Scene and We the People.
He has made three noteworthy contributions to American drama. In On Trial, he successfully used for the first time on the stage the flashback technique of the movies. In The Adding Machine, he wrote the first American Expressionistic play. In Street Scene, he presented the most Realistic picture of New York City.
He has employed a wide variety of styles, ranging from stark Realism in Street Scene through Expressionism in The Adding Machine to Fantasy in Dream Girl. He is one of the group of dramatists who came on the scene in the 20s, and who did so much to raise American drama from its low level in the early part of the century to its present day leadership in world theatre.
