Mark Connelly discusses his career as a playwright, producer, director and actor. In the early '20s, writing in collaboration with George S. Kaufman, he produced such Broadway hits as Dulcy, Merton of the Movies and Beggar on Horseback. His play "The Green Pastures" brought him acclaim and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1930. Taped at WNET in New York. (Taped: 06/05/74) Day at Night originally aired on public television from 1973-1974. This episode was restored by CUNY Television. CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. Watch more at http://www.tv.cuny.edu/series/dayatnight
