Zustand: Fine. Washington, D.C., May 27, 1977., 1977. Fine. - Over 150 words typed on his 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "ATA American Theatre Association" stationery. Responding to Jean Dalrymple, Jack Morrison writes "As to your question, how many community theaters there are including regional and school theaters--nobody knows!" "There probably are 'over 100,000' if you count every little company in a church basement or whatever in a given year." Though Peter Zeisler at Theatre Communication Group knows how many "regional professional theaters" there are, it's impossible to know how many amateur groups there are, especially if one considers "theater to be every high school that puts on at least one play a year." Signed "Jack". Folded for mailing with a pencil line by Jean Dalrymple indicating she has read the letter. Else, fine. The executive director of the American Theatre Association Jack Sherman Morrison (1912-1997) married James Cagney's sister Jeanne Cagney in 1953. He had served as director and dean of numerous university theatre programs before being appointed as executive director of the ATA. He was the recipient of the UCLA Life Achievement Award in 1980. The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
