Kingsley was born on October 22, 1906 in New York City as Sidney Kirschner.
Kingsley attended public high school and won a scholarship to Cornell University.
Before graduation in 1928 Kingsley participated extensively in dramatics and wrote several one-act plays. Then came a period of stock-company acting, play reading, and scenario writing for Columbia Pictures. His first play, Men in White, was produced in 1933 and won the Pulitzer Prize. Dead End, which dramatized memorably the crime-breeding slums of New York, was produced in 1935. Ten Million Ghosts, concerning the international munitions-makers, was unsuccessful in 1936, but The Patriots (1943), a dramatization of the historic Jefferson-Hamilton struggle for power, won wide recognition. Detective Story, a melodrama about a typical day in a police station, opened a highly successful New York run in 1949. Darkness at Noon, a dramatization of the Arthur Koestler novel of the same name, won the New York Drama Critics Award in 1951. Kingsley died March 20, 1995, in Oakland, New Jersey.
