Pauker came to the United States in 1922 and established an agency in New York City. During the 1920s and 1930s, much of Pauker's business came from his relationships with European colleagues.

His American clients included Vicki Baum, Edward Chodorov, Joseph Fields, and Russell Janney, and he was also instrumental in arranging for the sale of European rights for works of a number of other American writers including S.

Edmond Pauker, literary agent and play broker, was born in Budapest, Hungary. He became associated with the theater after an early career as a professor of law and economics. Pauker emigrated to the United States in 1922 and established an agency in New York City. He and his wife, Yolan, had two children, Eve and John, both of whom worked for their father for periods of time.

During the 1920s and '30s, much of Pauker's business came from his relationships with European colleagues. Early in his career, Pauker was the U.S. representative for a number of agencies in Germany, Hungary, and Austria. His business arrangements with Felix Bloch Erben, Dr. Alexander Marton, G. Marton Verlag, the Society of Authors and Playwrights of Hungary, and the International Copyright Bureau, Ltd, enabled him to arrange for the production and sale of rights to numerous plays by European authors, including Ferenc Molnár, Miklos Laszlo, and Melchior Lengyel. His American clients included Vicki Baum, Edward Chodorov, Joseph Fields, and Russell Janney, and he was also instrumental in arranging for the sale of European rights for works of a number of other American writers including S. N. Behrman, Theodore Dreiser, and Robert Sherwood.

Ferenc Molnár (1878-1952), the Hungarian playwright, short story writer, and novelist, whose works are especially fully represented in this collection, was one of Pauker's most successful clients. Initially, Pauker represented Molnár in the United States through his relationship with Molnár's Hungarian agent, Alexander Marton. Marton died in 1938 and in 1940 Molnár emigrated to the United States, where he continued as Pauker's client. Upon Molnár's death in 1952, Pauker was appointed literary executor of the estate.

Pauker gave up his practice in 1959, after falling ill. His clients were transferred to another New York agent, Elisabeth Marton, the daughter of the late Alexander Marton, Pauker's former colleague. Pauker died on May 6, 1962 at the age of 74.
