Marguerite McNulty Marguerite McNulty (fl. c. 1920), who was regularly referred to in press as a “beauty”, was a U.S. stage actress. For decades in the early 20th century, she was cast in musical and other comedy productions on Broadway theatre, like the musical comedy "Fifty Fifty, Ltd." (1919) and the Broadway farce "The High Hatters" (1928). McNulty was also cast in a single silent film, 1925’s Ermine and Rhinestones. The daughter of an Armenian immigrant, McNulty’s true name was Katya Minasian, which came to light when it was nationally reported in late 1925 that she had filed suit against the scion William Andrews Clark III, the third grandson of the then very recently late railroad and mining magnate, financier, and U.S. Senator William A. Clark of Montana. McNulty’s claim against the younger Clark was for his allegedly having breached his promise to marry her. For several years prior, McNulty had a romantic relationship with Clark III, which his family worked hard to, eventually, successfully discourage. The enduring fame of “Marguerite McNulty” seems to arise solely from the wide national publicity given the lawsuit.

McCormick family The McCormick family of Chicago and Virginia is an American family of Scots-Irish descent that attained prominence and fortune starting with the invention of the McCormick Reaper, a machine that revolutionized agriculture, helped break the bonds of slavery, and established the modern grain trade by beginning the mechanization of the harvesting of grain. Through the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and later, the International Harvester Company and other investments, the McCormicks became one of the wealthiest families in America. The name became ubiquitous in agriculture starting in the 19th century and the press dubbed the McCormicks the "Reaper Kings". Later generations expanded into media and publishing (Tribune Company), finance (William Blair & Company), and real estate (McCormick Estate). Various family members were well known as civic leaders. They are descended from an influential leader of modern agriculture, inventor Robert McCormick, Jr. (1780–1846), and Mary Ann "Polly" Hall of Steeles Tavern, Virginia.

Medicine show Medicine shows were touring acts (traveling by truck, horse, or wagon teams) which peddled "miracle cure" patent medicines and other products between various entertainments. They developed from European mountebank shows and were common in the United States in the nineteenth century, especially in the Old West (though some continued until World War II). They usually promoted "miracle elixirs" (sometimes referred to as snake oil), which, it was claimed, had the ability to cure any disease, smooth wrinkles, remove stains, prolong life or cure any number of common ailments. Most shows had their own patent medicine (these medicines were for the most part unpatented but took the name to sound official). Entertainments often included a freak show, a flea circus, musical acts, magic tricks, jokes, or storytelling. Each show was run by a man posing as a doctor who drew the crowd with a monologue. The entertainers, such as acrobats, musclemen, magicians, dancers, ventriloquists, exotic performers, and trick shots, kept the audience engaged until the salesman sold his medicine.
