Lady Davis sprang into society when she married Count Moroni, who was attracted to her because she refused to appear in tights when she was a burlesque girl. Later, she divorced Moroni and married Davis. Mortimer Davis, Jr., son of the late tobacco king, was disinherited by his father when he married Roszika Dolly, of the Dolly Sisters.
