The son of a doctor studied law, but after graduating he went to the theater as an actor. For a long time he toured the USA with various groups as a vaudeville singer and dancer.

The organization was dismantled during the First World War . Conners was blacklisted and stopped getting engagements.

He took a job as a hunt guide on Lake Tahoe and began writing plays that have been performed in New York since the early 1920s. In his play Hell's Bells in 1925 Shirley Booth and Humphrey Bogart made their Broadway debut . Other successful Broadway productions were Apple Sauce , Unexpected Husbands and The Patsy , the latter was made into a film in 1928 with Marion Davies . When the sound film emerged in the late 1920s, he switched to Fox Films as a screenwriter and dialogue writer . In early 1933 he was killed in a fire in his apartment house.
