en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Gest "Morris Gest, also Maurice Guest (March 15, 1875 – May 16, 1942), was an American theatrical producer of the early 20th century." His papers are at the University of Texas: norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00740 "Morris Gest (1881-1942) was one of Broadway's most successful and well-known theatrical producers of the 1910s and 1920s. Born Mishka Gershonovitch on January 17, 1881, in Koshedary, a small village near Vilnius, Lithuania, and raised in the Jewish community of Butrimonys, Lithuania, Gest emigrated to Boston by himself at the age of twelve." The U.S. National Portrait Gallery has a cartoon portrait of Gest by Walter Kunstler: npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.91.154
