	John Howard Lawson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1933, Lawson joined with Lester Cole and Samuel Ornitz to establish the Writers' Guild of America and was the organization's first president.

		John Howard Lawson died in San Francisco on August 14, 1977, aged 82.

		In Souls this soul-baring is done almost exclusively by soliloquies, which Lawson calls "Interludes," each with its own setting corresponding to the soul of the soliloquist.
		At the time of writing the melodramatic, talky Souls, John Howard Lawson was a fledgling playwright, working largely alone, who felt compelled to follow the direction of his show biz-oriented agent, Mary Kirkpatrick, who rejected Souls as non-commercial and urged Lawson to stop his experimentation and learn tried and true Broadway techniques.

	Chambers, Messiah of the New Technique
		Spanning the playwright’s career, the volume details Lawson’s early indoctrination in and commitment to the avant-garde, his use and development of various nonrealistic playwriting techniques, his subtle though unfocused attacks on bourgeois society, and the varied critical responses he received.
		Chambers addresses Lawson’s involvement with the New Playwrights’ Theatre and his participation in the protests surrounding the case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, which stimulated his growing commitment to left-wing politics and radical causes.
		That struggle, suggests Chambers, pitted Lawson’s view of aesthetics against his political ideology and is reflected in his scripts and theoretical writings.

		Although the constant speechifying, especially by Naish's repentant Italian, may strike some as passe and overbearing, the basic humanity of the entire affair is a pleasant change from the xenophobic posturing found in most films of the era.
		Sadly, scriptwriter John Howard Lawson's humane outlook would come back to haunt him when, in the 1950s, he became one of the Hollywood Ten.
		However, when McCarthyite government officials tried to pressure Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohn into firing Lawson, he refused, much to his credit.
