 | | Maxwell Anderson is far better known as a playwright than a composer, but his collaborations with German-born composer Kurt Weill added several classic standards to the popular song lexicon. |
 | | Anderson was born in Atlantic, PA, on December 15, 1888. |
 | | Anderson and Weill remained on good terms, but it took them quite some time to find another project to work on together; Weill originally wanted Anderson to write lyrics for the play that became +Street Scene, but Anderson, unconvinced of his talent as a lyricist, let the job go to poet Langston Hughes. |
