Ivo Pelay (May 5, 1893 – August 28, 1959) was one of Argentina's most prolific playwrights of the early 20th century. Born Guillermo Juan Robustiano Pichot in Buenos Aires, Pelay wrote over 200 plays in his lifetime, beginning with ''La Mala Vida'' in 1911. Perhaps his most famous work is his 1925 nationalist dramedy ''La canción de los barrios'' ("Song of the Streets"). In addition, a number of his plays documenting the political and economic woes of Argentina in the 1930s were very popular. While most of his plays were satires or straight comedies, he wrote a number of popular local musicals, which helped popularize the tango style of music. In addition, he worked as a writer for radio, as a journalist, and as a director on a number of his plays. He also served as the chief manager of the Teatro Nacional, which showcased many of his plays. Pelay died in 1959 as one of the legends of Argentine theater. He was 66. He is buried at La Chacarita Cemetery. ==Selected filmography== * ''Honeysuckle'' (1938) * ''The Song of the Suburbs'' (1941) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivo Pelay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
