The show was so successful that it was followed by a national and international tour playing in the European Far East and Pacific Theaters of War.

Fascinating lengthy explanation of how he came to write "Secrets of the Success of Great Musicians." In part: "Why was it for instance that some well educated intelligent person was not at all liked by the majority and indeed was a failure in life I soon discovered that lack of manners a repellant personality an easily recognizable egotism were responsible for this misfortune. Others again have been blessed with the divine spark of genius but they never reached prominence in life. Why In my investigations I found out that the reason for their lack of success was that they did not concentrate their efforts in that special branch for which they were gifted they lacked the 'stick to it' they were too erratic 'Jack of all trades master in none.' Others on the contrary although endowed with a very small amount of talent made for themselves an enviable name and obtained important and influential positions. Why Because they were indefatigable workers and compensated the lack of genius with their diligence and pertinacity." With original envelope. Accompanied by IP 4" X 6" New York NY 1925 n.d.
