George Tucker profiles Dave Wolper, a former Brown back and attorney who built a theater clientele empire around the Hurricane on Broadway. From a 1901 New York upbringing to a wartime business surge, Wolper and partner Seymour Robinson parlayed theatrical law into a money-making eatery and agency, with stars like Gable and Haward lending credibility.
