While Working As An Advertising Executive In New York, He Wrote A Short Story Based On The Early Life Of Al Jolson, Called The Day Of Atonement, Which He Then Converted Into A Play, The Jazz Singer. This Would Become The First Talking Picture, With Jolson As Its Star. He Then Worked As A Screenwriter With Ernst Lubitsch On Sophisticated Comedies Like Trouble In Paradise, The Shop Around The Corner, And Heaven Can Wait And With Alfred Hitchcock On Suspicion. His Short Stories Appeared In The Saturday Evening Post And Other Leading Magazines, And He Taught Creative Writing At The University Of Illinois. Raphaelson's Second Play, Young Love, Was Banned In Boston When Authorities Found It Too Racy. It Starred Dorothy Gish, One Of The Leading Actresses Of The Day. Three Of His Subsequent Six Plays Produced On Broadway Were Chosen For Publication In The Annual Ten Best Plays Of The Season, Compiled By Burns Mantle, The Widely Read Critic Of The New York Daily News, At The Time The Largest Circulation Daily In The U.S. They Were Accent On Youth (1934), Skylark (1939) And Jason (1941). Accent On Youth Was A Critical And Popular Success Both On Broadway And In London's West End, Where The Young Greer Garson Played The Leading Role. Skylark, Another Substantial Hit, Starred Gertrude Lawrence. Jason Was Less Successful Commercially But Won High Praise From The New York Critics. One Called It "The Best Play Of The Season" And Added That It Contained "Some Of The Finest Writing To Grace A Stage In Several Years." Another, Commenting On One Main Character Inspired By The Colorful Writer William Saroyan, Wrote: "Many Authors Have Tried To Put Into Their Plays Characters That Possess The Picturesque Qualities Attributed To Saroyan, But Mr. Raphaelson Is The First To Do The Thing Successfully." His First Wife Was Rayna Simon From Chicago, Who Also Studied At The University Of Illinois. She Became A Legendary Figure, Rayna Prohme, Thanks To Vincent Sheean's Bestselling Book Personal History In The 1930S. She Played A Role In The Chinese Revolution, And Died In Moscow In 1927.
