Wives of Song Writers. Tale of Inman and Helen Patton
A fragmentary reminiscence discusses marriages across social circles in the tobacco world. It recalls Helen Patton, daughter of a clergyman, who married a songwriter’s ex-wife and later became involved with James B. Duke’s circle. The account links diverse unions to a grand but renewed drama in Broadway society and tobacco industry circles.
