In the 14 following years leading to JOHNNY TEMPLE, my first television film, I directed 40 more theatre productions – in Mason City, Iowa, Hollywood, Florida, Des Moines, Iowa and finally Southern California in West Hollywood, Pasadena, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Westwood. In 1948, my second year as a directing major at the Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts, I directed two productions in the Balcony theatres.
