...firm drew up a contract between Perky and the show's producers giving their man the right to play the piano, to address the audience, and not to be referred to by flacks as a "millionaire" or even "rich" (nonetheless, he is wealthy). Since Jane is off Broadway, the playhouse's 175 seats were his for only $300.
