Mature left school — though likely not on his own terms — as a teen and developed a successful candy dealership. Mature won out on the issue, and though critics described the movie’s acting as “not good,” the movie was a box office success. DeMille apparently forgave Mature for his previous defiance because, in 1953, he cast Mature in another hit motion picture, The Robe. They are as follows: the George H. Tingley Public School, St. Paul and St. Xavier parochial schools — all in Louisville — and a school in Bardstown, St. Joseph Academy. He is buried in his native Kentucky at the St. Michael’s Cemetery, in Louisville.
