WPA Poster for “A relatively short running but important play which featured Katharine Cornell and Luther Adler in the original Broadway run. Howard died in a farm accident in 1939. He was awarded a posthumous Academy Award for his screenplay for *Gone With the Wind* (making him the first writer to win both a screenplay Oscar and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama).”
The title quotes a stanza of the poem Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats:
“Perhaps the self-same song
that found a path
Through the sad heart of
Ruth when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the
alien corn.”
