American composer/screenwriter Harry Ruby dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but chose instead to pursue the career of "song plugger;" he would position himself at the pianos of major music-publishing houses, playing new tunes for the benefit of such clients as singers and record producers.
After the death of Bert Kalmar in 1947, Ruby curtailed his own professional activities, preferring to devote his time to his family (his wife was silent screen actress Eileen Percy) and to remain active in Beverly Hills civic activities.
Ruby also acted from time to time in the '50s, appearing as himelf in Angels in the Outfield (1951) and guesting as a decidedly semitic Indian chief in the Irwin Allen all-star farrago The Story of Mankind (1957).

In 1932, Harry successfully avoided Jack's attempt to oust him and from then on solidified his position as the real boss of Columbia.
Harry Cohn was probably the most feared and hated man in Hollywood, but even his enemies acknowledged his uncanny sense of what made a picture successful and also his ability to run a studio effectively and profitably.
