Excerpt:George Edward Kelly item Information item Debut works: The Torch Bearers (1922) The Show-off (1924) item Magnum opus : Craig's Wife (1926) item Awards: Pulitzer Prize for Drama (1926) George Edward Kelly (16 January 1887 18 June 1974) was an American playwright , screenwriter , director , and actor . He began his career in vaudeville as an actor and sketch writer. He became best known for his satiric comedies, including The Torch-Bearers (1922) and The Show-Off (1924). Early life Born in Dorset,lived with his brother Thomas Kelly and was uncle to Grace Kelly Career Throughout his career, Kelly remained a realistic playwright, unaffected by the experiments of theatrical modernism . Novelist Edward Maisel described him as "a simple moralist using the theatre for simple moral purposes." Kelly's plays are often dominated by characters of monstrous egotism , and he casts a harsh light on their shortcomings. Uncompromising in his vision, he scrupulously avoided sentimentality and depictions of romance. Arthur Willis noted "Kelly appears to be anti-love, anti-romantic love, certainly, and distrustful of the tender emotions." In his first full-length play, The Torchbearers , Kelly satirizes the "Little Theatre Movement ", depicting it as made up of narcissistic and undisciplined amateurs. Their leader, Mrs. J. Duro Pampinelli, is a brilliant caricature of self-indulgent dilettantism . In the first act, Kelly shows the troupe incapable of conducting a competent rehearsal; in the second, he depicts with farcical brilliance their public performance collapsing in shambles. In the third act, however, the tone grows more earnest as the players are excoriated for their indulgences. In his greatest pop... ... Read more
