Horace Liveright
Horace Brisbin Liveright (10 December 1883〔WWI Draft Registration Card〕 – 24 September 1933) was an American publisher and stage producer. With Albert Boni, he founded the Modern Library and Boni & Liveright publishers. He published books from numerous influential American and British authors. Turning to theatre, he produced the successful 1927 Broadway play ''Dracula'', with Béla Lugosi and Edward Van Sloan in the roles they would make famous in the 1931 film by the same name.
==Life and career==
Liveright was born into a Jewish family in 1884. He initially followed the career of a bond salesman. He married Lucille Elsas, the daughter of Herman Elsas the owner of a paper company merged into International Paper of which he was subsequently an officer and director. The marriage took place in April 1911, and Liveright used his father-in-law's financial backing to embark on a publishing career.〔(Teachout, Terry.

The Liverights had two children, Herman and Lucy. Lucille divorced Liveright on grounds of misconduct in 1928, alleging "misconduct with an actress in an inn near Croton-on-Hudson."〔"To Open Liveright Suit", ''New York Times.'' May 11, 1928. p. 20〕
He married the actress Elise Bartlett (who had appeared in Show Boat (1929 film), and had divorced actor Joseph Schildkraut in 1930) in December 1931; she filed for divorce four months later.〔"Horace Liveright Dies of Pneumonia", ''New York Times'', September 25, 1933. p. 15〕
