It’s the birthday of lyricist Adolph Green, born in the Bronx, New York (1915). At New York University, he joined a troupe called the Washington Square Players, where he met his lifelong writing partner, Betty Comden. They collaborated with Leonard Bernstein on the musical Wonderful Town, with Jule Styne on Peter Pan and Bells Are Ringing, and they wrote the screenplay for Singin’ in the Rain.
