He was pretty big on my going to college and I was one of these kids that was in awe of my father and I was excited. He took me on a college trip, like people do. I was just excited that I got to stay in the room with him and be with him a lot. I would have done anything he wanted me . . . we looked at some schools that he had picked out, and we went on the train from Boston [Massachusetts] to Providence, Rhode Island. We went up the hill to Brown and he said, \"This is beautiful.\" I said, \"This is beautiful,\" and we had an interview. That was wonderful and I thought that I was accepted at Brown from that interview. The next spring, I came home from school and my mother said, \"Good news, you got into Brown.\" I said, \"No, I got into Brown last summer.\" She said, \"No, no you didn't. You did now.\" There were three boys from the state of Georgia, who were going to go to Brown. That was the first time I believe since the war, 10 years, that any Georgia people had gone to Brown. It just opened up the world to me, several things that happened to me at Brown completely changed my life. I joined a theater practicum class, which we met three or four hours a day, but not for my junior year. I got to know show people. I got know people that, people in the theater still are a little revved up and more exciting than regular people. They're laugh louder, they cry more. They're sexier, they're funnier, they are everything. It was just what I wanted to do. In that, and I took this theater course, I learned that Shakespeare wasn't just completely boring and stupid, but it was major. My first experience with that was being the stage manager of a production of As You Like It. They did Shakespeare every year. I fell in love with the girl playing Celia. The play was so funny, and the play was so sharp and she's so beautiful. I married her. I was married to her for 60 years. At the same time, I met a fraternity brother of mine. There was one Jewish fraternity there, Pi Lambda Phi. I was in it. I collaborated with a fraternity brother of mine on a musical. There was a competition at Brown called Brownbrokers, you sort of . . . there were several to choose from apparently, and ours was chosen my sophomore year. My sophomore and junior year, I wrote these musicals with my collaborator, Robert Waldman, who was my collaborator for years.

My mother's family was in the furniture business, and my grandfather had died, but he and his brother, who I did know, my uncle Lawrence, founded a chain of furniture stores and also a furniture factory in Rome [Georgia] that manufactured what they called Fox Furniture. My father worked for them. My father was an artist. By nature, not by profession, because he never, he wasn't able to pursue it, he had to work. But he always painted, he always drew, he designed furniture, and he lived, he was an artist. He worked in the business, and I was expected to go into the business. My father died when I was a freshman in high school, so I remember my uncle said to me, you could write as a hobby. Even when I was 19, I knew you can't do that. That doesn't make any sense. My father was dead, but my mother said, \"If you want to do . . . \" my mother loved the theater, and that's why I do. She took me to the theater . . . from the time I was 10 or 11, my father came to New York twice a year for furniture conventions to buy things and see stuff. He came to work and my mother came with him, and he was exhausted by working all day and she would drag him to the theater because she loved the theater. But by the time I came along and was old enough, they brought me and I went with her instead. She was not at all careful about what I did and didn't see. I went with her to what she wanted to see. A couple of times, I saw this play called Detective Story when I was about 11. I think it was about abortion. I know it was cause I've seen the movie. I remember I said, \"Yes, what is that exactly?\" She said, \"If you just listen to the play, you'll understand.\" Then she took me to a play by Jean Giraudoux called The Madwoman of Chaillot. I didn't know what the hell was going on. She says, \"Just enjoy it.\" She took me. She loved Rodgers and Hammerstein, so we saw all of that. We saw Kiss Me, Kate. The first Broadway show I ever saw was Annie Get Your Gun, when I was nine years old and I was just hooked, hooked. I knew I wanted to do that. It was because mother loved the theater so much that I loved the theater. She was delighted with my profession, although, the chances of somebody making it in the theater were and are, it's a tiny percentage and now probably even more than it was then, but she believed in me. For a while after I graduated from Brown, she gave me, was it $50? It couldn't have been. $50 a week. No, that's too much . . . but it was enough that I could share an apartment with some guys. Then when we got married, my wife worked and I was making a little money, and my mother supported me. I think she worried that she had encouraged me, but she lived to see it all pay off. That was nice.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060#t=1106.0,1336.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060/transcript/92053/annotation/49","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eEVANS:\u003c/strong\u003e Tell us a little bit about your early work as a lyricist.

The lyricist sounds like somebody that plays the lyre, but not L-I-A-R, L-Y-R-E. I had this collaboration with my friend, Bob Waldman. He was a composer. I wrote the book for those shows at Brown, but for some reason, although I secretly always wanted to be a playwright, I went with writing lyrics. I didn't trust myself as . . . I didn't have a great deal of self-esteem as a writer. I did as a person, but not as a writer. I didn't trust my talent. If I could do it all over again, I would have. I would believe more in my abilities then. I wrote lyrics and they were okay. Early on, when I came to New York, after a couple of years, we got an agent. First, we went and worked for Frank Loesser. I guess you know Frank Loesser. Frank Loesser was a composer lyricist who wrote wonderful shows like Guys and Dolls and The Most Happy Fella and How to Succeed in Business. He was really, really a genius and he had a publishing company and he hired young writers and he was going to publish what they wrote so what it amounted to for Bob and me was about once a month we would have . . . we would play him what we had written that month he paid us the $50 a week that my mother had been paying me, so pay us $50 a week and we would go in and play him what we've written and he would analyze and it was a personal tutorial from a genius. He taught me so much about writing lyrics, which I use writing plays still. He taught me to be clear, to try to say everything more than one time so that people could hear it. He said, if you're in the theater and you're watching, say you're at a train track and you watching a long train go by. You see the engine, it goes by, you see. Passenger car goes by, you see a milk car, it goes by, you see cold car, but it goes by. You got to make clear what it is when you're writing, what you're saying. Around about there, I began teaching at the Calhoun School in New York, and I taught introductory Shakespeare in this very sort of . . . at the Calhoun School, which was very liberal and would hire people like me that had no teaching experience. But I taught beginning Shakespeare three times a year, trimester, trimester, trimester. I taught and I made up the curriculum myself and I taught first, let me see, first, I think I taught Macbeth. No, first I taught Romeo and Juliet and then I teach Macbeth and then, I would go on from there. I realized in teaching them so many times that in a play like Macbeth, he says everything . . . always did say everything three times. In the sleepwalking scene, I always use that as an example, because it starts with the nurse and the doctor, and they say to each other, \"God, she's so crazy.\" She comes in and she talks in her sleep, and she walks in her asleep and she says crazy things. Then she comes in and she's talking in her sleep and going on. She goes out again and they say, she was so crazy, and she was talking and . . . it was nailed. I think the reason he did that was because he had a kind of a raucous audience. They weren't always listening. He had to make sure they said everything. I went from being in high school and thinking Shakespeare was the most boring, ridiculous thing in the world to realizing that he was a genius. All this talk about who really wrote Shakespeare, I hate that. To me, that man was magic. Somebody was magic. Somebody was a genius that was able to do all that. I'll buy that a million times. I learned to love the word. What is it? In the beginning, there was the word, the word was the word of God. I believe that. It took me a long time to hone in on what I really had to say. Because I think a writer, in many cases, does better when he or she has a little area that they really come from really inside their gut. Mine happened to be Atlanta, growing up in Atlanta and in the world, I was in. I was able to write with some authority about that and that's what I seem to have done.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060#t=1344.0,1659.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060/transcript/92053/annotation/51","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eEVANS:\u003c/strong\u003e No question that you've done it.

They put you up in the finest hotels and they'd say, \"Can you rewrite . . . \" several times I had jobs were just rewriting a star's part, just her lines, and it paid well. I was hired to rewrite scripts that mostly didn't get made, but it was good money. I could give up teaching and concentrate on writing, but I never liked it out there. I love the movies, I still do.

I had written the Last Night of Ballyhoo, and he and I were friends for a long time. I was in his office and he said . . . He was kind of the same kind of Jew I am, only his family is Viennese, so it's probably worse. He said, \"Why were those Jews in Atlanta so antisemitic?\" I said, \"They weren't really antisemitic. They were just kind of covering up being Jews.\" He said, \"Why?\" I said, \"I guess it's about the Leo Frank's case they were so involved in.\" He said, \"I know about that and I remember, but what exactly was it?\" I told him, he put his glasses on top of his head and he said, \"That's a musical.\" I called up my mother and I said, \"Guess what, mother, I'm doing a show with Hal Prince.\" She said, \"Oh my God, it's Leo Frank.\" I don't know how she knew, but she said that because she knew I cared about the Leo Frank story. That's how it came to be. It certainly was unusual choice to make a musical out of, except now Hal had done remarkable shows like he conceived Cabaret which is kind of the same kind of thing.

A play, a theater piece, be it a play or a musical, between the collaborators and the director is really like a love affair or like a marriage. And it's got to work. You've got to trust them, and you got to believe in them. Sometimes they're frauds and they don't know what they're doing. I was lucky I had three, I had Hal Prince first and then 10 years later we did it in London with a wonderful director named Rob Ashford, tiny little production but it was a big hit. Now we have Michael Arden here and between each production there've been years and Jason Brown and I got to fiddle with it a little bit. I was rewriting it a little bit last week. I'm not rewriting but just polishing until they kind of slap your hand and say, you got to stop.

Being female is a knowledge of things that I don't know about with four daughters and six granddaughters, because I'm not a woman, but I instinctively know things that happen to men because I am one of them. I think it's like that with Jews, but really good actors can do great. The old thing was, that's like saying a drunk has to play a drunk. It's just not true. It doesn't hurt, let's put it that way, to have enough Jewish sensibility to things. The first Miss Daisy and my favorite Miss Daisy, it's always been Dana Ivey, who is not Jewish, but she was born and raised in Atlanta. She knew, my grandmother, she knows how to do.

I remember being a little kid and my mother and father had people over and somebody started to mention Leo Frank and my friend's father got up and walked out of the room and said, \"We're not talking about that.\" I asked my mother about it and she said vague things. When I got a little older and was able to go on the bus to the library by myself, I went and looked it all up. I discussed it with my grandmother, who had been a social friend of Leo and Lucille Frank, sort of. It was a terrible, terrible thing that happened. It was a ripple in the water that just got wider and wider, it covered everything. There was 99.99.999 percent chance that he didn't do it. But the one thing he did do apparently was the day of the parade he came home for lunch and after some time in the afternoon he called the night watchman and said is everything all right? I know about that. I don't know what thought . . . I'm pretty sure . . . obviously he didn't do it. It played on every paranoid fear that all those dear sweet relatives of mine had about being Jews and being outsiders. Our whole family always was uptight. They never talked about real things like illnesses or deaths or anything like that, or bad things they covered them up. Here was this inside-outside German Jewish man being accused of sodomy and homosexuality and murder and rape. It really . . . and then he was lynched.

Frank was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to death for her murder. The trial was the catalyst for a great outburst of antisemitism led by the populist Tom Watson and the center of powerful class and political interests. Frank was sent to Milledgeville State Penitentiary to await his execution. After two years of failed appeals by Frank, Governor John M. Slaton, believing there had been a miscarriage of justice, commuted his sentence to life in prison. This prompted the “Knights of Mary Phagan,” a group of 25 prominent men—including ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown, Judge Newton Augustus Morris, Solicitor General Eugene Herbert Clay, Legislator John Tucker Dorsey, businessman Bolan Glover Brumby, and attorney Fred Morris—to put a highly organized plan into motion. Telling their wives they were going fishing, they caravanned to the state prison in Milledgeville, Georgia. They stormed the prison with guns, and meeting no resistance from the prison staff, kidnapped Frank from his cell, and drove him the 100 miles back to Frey’s Gin, a site about two miles east of Marietta Square. At 7:05 on the morning of August 17, 1915, the men, assisted by other farmers and merchants hung Frank from a large oak tree. An increasingly unruly crowd of 3,000 men, women and children soon gathered to celebrate, some taking pieces of the rope and Frank's clothing as souvenirs.  Undertakers had to wrestle Frank’s body away before it could be further battered. Ironically, Judge Morris, who had kicked the table out from under Frank’s feet at the lynching, was credited with bringing calm to the scene as the body was taken away. Despite the perpetrators’ well-known identities, none were ever indicted and their family names still resonate in high places and adorn prominent buildings across Georgia. Decades later, it was revealed that witness Jim Conley had committed the murder and framed Frank. Consequently, on March 11, 1986, the State of Georgia granted Frank a posthumous pardon, acknowledging the state's failure to protect him, though it stopped short of a full exoneration.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060#t=243.0,332.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/167732/file/305060/annotation_set/2434/annotation/153","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eThe Temple, or “Hebrew Benevolent Congregation,” is Atlanta’s oldest Jewish congregation.
