Context paragraphs:
Gertrude Stein (Davidson): Gertrude Stein is an outdoor bronze sculpture of Gertrude Stein, located at Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York.  The casting was installed in 1992 and is based on a model created by Jo Davidson in Paris in 1923.  It neighbors the New York Public Library Main Branch, which, according to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, commemorates Stein's "significant literary contributions".

Clifford Odets: Clifford Odets (July 18, 1906 – August 14, 1963) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and director.  Odets was widely seen as successor to Nobel Prize-winning playwright Eugene O'Neill as O'Neill began to retire from Broadway's commercial pressures and increasing critical backlash in the mid-1930s.  From early 1935 on, Odets' socially relevant dramas proved extremely influential, particularly for the remainder of the Great Depression.  Odets' works inspired the next several generations of playwrights, including Arthur Miller, Paddy Chayefsky, Neil Simon, David Mamet, and Jon Robin Baitz.  After the production of his play "Clash by Night" in the 1941–1942 season, Odets focused his energies on film projects, remaining in Hollywood for the next seven years.  He began to be eclipsed by such playwrights as Miller, Tennessee Williams and, in 1950, William Inge.

David Bachrach House: The David Bachrach House, also known as Gertrude Stein House, is a historic home located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

It was constructed about 1886 and occupied by David Bachrach (1845-1921), a commercial photographer who figures prominently in the annals of American photographic history.  Also on the property is a one-story brick building on a high foundation that was built for Ephraim Keyser (1850-1937) as a sculpture studio about 1890 and a one-story brick stable.  Ephraim Keyser and Fannie (Keyser) Bachrach were brother and sister.  Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was a niece of Mrs. David Bachrach [Fannie (Keyser) Bachrach] and lived in this house for a short time in 1892.

Gertrude Stein: Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector.

Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Henri Matisse, would meet.

Lost Generation: The Lost Generation was the generation that came of age during World War I.  Demographers William Strauss and Neil Howe outlined their Strauss–Howe generational theory using 1883–1900 as birth years for this generation.

"The Big Knife" marked the return of Odets to Broadway after a six-year hiatus in which he toiled in Hollywood as a screenwriter and motion picture director.  The play concerns the disillusionment of a movie star with the Hollywood's studio system and disgust with himself, as he has lost his idealism in the pursuit of success.
