American screenwriter Jack Townley came to Hollywood at the dawn of the talkies era. At first employed by Universal, Townley went on to co-script programmers at RKO Radio Pictures for Wheeler and Woolsey, ZaSu Pitts, and others. He also worked on RKO's Mexican Spitfire and Great Gildersleeve series. Freelancing from the mid-'40s onward, Townley occasionally returned to the movie-series mode, penning three Bowery Boys comedies for Allied Artists in 1956 and 1957. During his first decade in films, Jack Townley sporadically served as director, helming four films: Last Dance (1930), Guilty Parents (1934), House on the Prairie (1939), and The Pittsburgh Kid (1941).
