Move To Memphis
Moving to Memphis in August 1941, Sears became the resident director of the Little Theater and joined the faculty of the Southwestern University (now Rhodes College) on February 17, 1942. He married, but his workload pushed Sears to the brink of exhaustion, and on October 15, 1942, he attempted suicide with an overdose of sleeping pills. After recovering, on June 29, 1943, Sears abruptly announced that he was leaving the Little Theater to become a Volunteer Officer Candidate in the U.S. Army.

Famous quotes containing the word move:
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
