Tennessee Williams Golden Boy of American Writing
Tennessee Williams, age 41, has become a major American writer with nine plays, a volume of verse, two story volumes, and a dozen skits. He adapted The Rose Tattoo for Paramount and created Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a Broadway hit. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Williams recalls poverty sparked his social conscience and rebel spirit shaping his work. He changed his birth name to Tennessee Williams, pursued writing amid odd jobs, earned early money from poetry, and now commands high pay per word. A separate note mentions a surprise 70th anniversary party for Theodore and Mrs Lachey in Brunswick with many guests and a Texas clinic trip for Drs Thomas and Cooley.
