During this string of performances he had contracts with summer stock companies in “Watch on the Rhine,” “The Damask Creek,” “Three Men on a Horse,” and “The Rainmaker.”
After the legitimate theatre slowed down for him, he worked up an act singing and accompanying himself on the piano and was booked into numerous supper clubs and cocktail lounges.
When the Korean War broke out he was drafted into the US Army and was assigned to Special Services where he produced his own “Red Diamond Revue” radio show and organized a men’s choral group. From there it was sailing the high seas as one of the most respected Cruise Directors in the business.view less
