Conference Press.

Hide Profile

The Conference Press was spontaneously formed in the 1930s when three UCLA students visited Saroyan at a Hollywood film studio; all three were on the editorial staff of the Daily Bruin newspaper: Hal Levy (publisher of Westwood Scene), Gil Harrison (former editor), and Bill Okie (student of Max Reinhardt); in 1936 the Press published William Saroyan's Three times three, a collection of short stories, each with a preface by the author; one of the stores, The man with his heart in the Highlands, went on to become a successful Broadway play.
