John Brown (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  As identified by B-59 and Art Siegel in other photos (below), John Brown [1881 -1967] was born in Scotland and came to America at the age of 2. He attended public schools in Brooklyn and had a series of jobs that led him to the staff of the Metropolitan Opera Company, where he was the business controller from 1910-1916.
  
  In addition to his position with the opera company, he was Assistant Secretary of the New Theatre, Assistant Secretary of the Metropolitan Opera Company, President and business manager of the Metropolitan Ballet Company and Secretary-Treasurer of the Century Amusement Company.
  
  He resigned simultaneously from all of those offices in 1916, and went into partnership with Alphonse G. Kaufmann of the Peugeot Auto Import Company in New York.
  
  Later he was the eastern representative for the Chicago Opera Company and managed concert artists, and was business manager of the American Operatic and Allied Arts Foundation. In 1925, he was appointed business manager of Carnegie Hall, where he served until 1929. – Compiled from The New York Times and Carnegie Hall [1] [2] [3] [4]
