A recipient of 1931 Guggenheim Fellowship for creative work in theatre and drama,〔(Emjo Basshe biographical entry (with small photograph) at John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation report for 1931–32 )〕 and one of the initial members, in 1935, of the Communist Party-founded League of American Writers, he won first prize for ''Thunderbolt'', also referenced as ''Thunder-Clock'', which was judged in a University of Chicago competition to be the "best unproduced long play of the year 1935".〔("Emjo Basshe dead; Playwright was 40; Won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1931—Also a director" (''The New York Times'', October 29, 1939) )〕
==Work with Provincetown Playhouse==
Born in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, then a part of the Russian Empire, Emjo Basshe immigrated to the United States in 1912, at the age of 14. Graduating from Columbia University in 1919, he began his theatrical career with the Provincetown Playhouse on Greenwich Village's MacDougal Street and, in 1920, went to Massachusetts, working with Boston's Peabody Playhouse, then Chelsea Arts Theatre and Cambridge's Castle Square Players, all during 1920–22. Returning to Provincetown Playhouse, he remained until the premiere, on November 6, 1925, of his play, ''Adam Solitaire'', directed by Stanley Howlett, and featuring 19-year-old John Huston among the production's eighteen Provincetown Players, named after and connected with the founders and players of Massachusetts' Provincetown Playhouse on Cape Cod. Closing night, after 17 performances, was two weeks later and Basshe moved to Pennsylvania, becoming director of the Stage Repertory of Philadelphia, where his three short plays, ''The Bitter Fantasy'', ''The Star'' and ''Soil'' were presented.
