The birthday of playwright Marc Connelly is noted in the Dec. 13 edition of The Writer’s Almanac. I’d never heard of him, although I’m vaguely familiar with his collaborator George S. Kaufman. (Both were members of the Algonquin Round Table.) Apparently, Connelly was not a terribly productive author, which caused Kaufman to remark:
Charles Dickens, dead, writes more than Marc Connelly alive.
