Fond of a good meal and a good drink, his favorite interview location was the 21 Club in New York. The slightly overweight Morehouse was one of several newspapermen who took lunch regularly at Sardi's. The lunch group, who referred to themselves as "The Cheese Club", included Walter Winchell. In 1949, Time magazine referred to Morehouse as "the New York Sun's pudgy, pungent drama critic and columnist." Morehouse was married four times and had two children, a daughter and a son, with Broadway actress Joan Marlowe. Ward Morehouse III also became a drama critic and writer. Like his father, he tried his hand at playwriting, co-writing a play entitled If It was Easy. Ward Morehouse died in New York City at the age of 71, and is buried in Statesboro, Georgia. Works ...
