Laurence Schexnayder was Sally Jupiter's manager, and later, her first husband. Laurence and Sally were known each in Europe. Once they were broke in Warsaw and Larry found a job for her at the Moritz. There, he heard a Prince commenting that Sally is the most beautiful woman in Europe. Larry saw the costumed adventurers as a social fad on which he could cash in. He staged criminal assaults with retired actors, hindered by the Silk Spectre. The police were also in the trick, and he would complain to the cops that they were asking for more each time.
