*Prior to December 5, 1938, Willie Gilzenberg of Newark dropped his talent-sharing
agreement with Jack Pfefer and took a new deal with Joe “Toots” Mondt, a manager of
much of the big named talent in the region, of New York City.  Pfefer immediately sought
revenge, moving his promotions in Newark to fight Gilzenberg.  The Mondt booking office
and organization was separate from the Dusek booking office and organization.
