Iyna -- Just a hint that you might want to look at the film The Wet
Parade (1932), based on an Upton Sinclair novel which is both a
temperance tale and a novel-à-clef.  I suspect that the Jimmy Durante
character in it may have been loosely patterned after one or both of
these agents.  Robin Room

I'm conducting research on the New York City prohibition agents, Izzy 
Einstein and Moe Smith.  I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 
information on these men. 

Thank you.
