 FORTUNE'S DAUGHTERS, by Elisabeth Kehoe
Leonard Jerome, the father, was a New Yorker who made and lost three fortunes in the wide-open financial markets of America's 19th century.
If Britain had failed to provide the Jerome girls with the ermined elder sons that they had aimed for, they in turn had proved to be disappointing milch cows to their hopeful hosts.

Leonard Bernstein is perhaps one of the greatest men to stand on any podium, anywhere in the world.

Jerome David Kern (January 27, 1885 – November 11, 1945) was an American composer of popular music.
(Jerome Park was named after Leonard Jerome, who was the father of Jennie Jerome, mother of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.) Fanny encouraged her son to take piano lessons.
Although Kern generally wrote for musical theatre, the harmonic richness of his compositions lend themselves well to the jazz idiom, which typically emphasizes improvisation based on a harmonic structure; many have been adopted by jazz musicians and have become standard tunes.
