Hart was a highly successful playwright and theater director whose writing credits included You Can't Take It with You (1936), The Man Who Came to Dinner (1939), and the Judy Garland vehicle A Star is Born (1954). The latter was directed by George Cukor, an even bigger name in Hollywood and the director of numerous classics including The Philadelphia Story, Gaslight (from whence the recently popular phrase "gaslighting" comes), Dinner at Eight, and Little Women. The tenor of the two men's relationship is evinced by Hart's warm inscription. A nice association between two major figures in 20th-century American entertainment.
