Biographical Note

Sidney Kingsley (born Sidney Kirschner on October 18, 1906) was an American dramatist from New Jersey who is known for his plays focusing on social issues of the day. Kingsley graduated from Cornell University, where he was involved in his college drama club. Several years after graduation, his first play was produced by the Group Theater, 1933's Men in White. The play, which dealt with the subjects of illegal abortion and work-life balance, was a hit, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1934. Kingsley's second play, Dead End, dealt with the social issue of slum housing and problems surrounding it, and was also a hit. It was eventually made into a movie with a pre- Casablanca Humphrey Bogart. Kingsley's other plays continue this trend of looking at social issues of the day, and he became notable for how long it took him to write plays, due to how painstaking and thorough his research was. He shadowed emergency room doctors while writing Men in White and observed New York City police officers while writing Detective Story. Professionally, Kingsley was president of the Dramatists Guild for several years. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant.

Kingsley was married to early movie star Madge Evans (b. July 1, 1909) in 1939. They lived together on land near Oakland, New Jersey with their dogs until Madge's death on April 26,1981. Madge had been a child model and star of early silent films, and also worked on the stage. In 1927, she signed with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, and appeared in a number of their films throughout the next decade. Following her marriage to Kingsley, Madge largely left Hollywood, but continued to act in radio and television based in New York City, a short way away from their New Jersey home. She was often a partner in more than just marriage to Sidney, acting as his producer, helping him with research for plays and in fact acting in his play The Patriots. Another common producer who worked with Sidney and Madge was Sidney's sister, May Kirschner, whose financial records are also included in this collection.

Kingsley and Evans had wanted to eventually turn their land in Oakland, New Jersey into a sort of artists' colony or subdivision, with a library and a performing arts center. They even had several interested parties, and plans were drawn up; however, plans fell through multiple times due to zoning laws and problems with contractors, and it was unfortunately never realized. Another great uncompleted project in Kingsley's life was his autobiography, entitled Dreaming True, which in its unfinished form still provides an inside look at various aspects of Kingsley and Evans's lives. Sidney Kingsley died on March 20, 1995, at his home in Oakland, New Jersey.

It is a thinly veiled criticism of Communism in the Soviet Union during WWII. The subseries has many items related to the production of the play and foreign rights for production of the play such as scripts, rights agreements, and photographs.

This subseries covers the play Falling Man, produced at the Florida State University Theater. It tells the story of an artist who has recently died, and his friends and family who have gathered to put on a show of his works in an attempt to inflate the price of his paintings. Essentially, it looks at greed and dedication in the art world. The subseries has scripts, notes, information on casting, clippings, and research for the play.
