...tried a turn in operetta-first in Madame Pompadour and then in My Princess. She had married profitably-one Jules Brulatour, who has sympathized generously with her operatic ambitions.

Clever lad, apt student, he was in due course a broker on his own, functioning in a number of partnerships, promoting innumerable enterprises, among them the Emerson Phonograph Co. By 1907 when he started to publish the Ticker Magazine he had acquired a reputation for smartness and a considerable fortune...
