  VH1.com : Movies : Person : Elmer Rice : Biography
From 1914 until the mid-'40s, Elmer Rice was one of the most prominent playwrights and theatrical directors in America, and made important contributions to motion pictures, both as an author and screenwriter.
Rice went out to Hollywood for a time, generating two screenplays, Doubling for Romeo and Rent Free, as well as seeing one of his plays, For the Defense, turned into a film, but he later described that first experience of Hollywood as utterly demeaning.
Rice's subsequent stage efforts, alas, were notably less successful, steeped as they were in fiercely topical and political subject matter (and carrying titles such as We, the People, that hardly evoked entertainment) that Depression-weary audiences sought to forget about.

  OperaWorld.com's North American Opera Zone: Elmer Rice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Rice was born Elmer Leopold Reizenstein and much as one of his own Street Scene denizens, spent his childhood in a New York walkup apartment on 90th Street.
Rice objected to some of these trivializations though so much of his original dialogue made its way into the opera that he later insisted on equal billing as lyricist.
Rice once stated that the scenography of Street Scene was inspired by the paintings of 17th century French artist Claude Lorrain whose subjects were dominated by monumental architecture.
