Moses Koenigsberg

Moses Koenigsberg (/ˈkoʊnɪɡzbɜːrɡ/; April 16, 1879 – September 21, 1945) was an executive for William Randolph Hearst, and ran King Features Syndicate.

Comic strips, features, and news supervised by Koenigsberg appeared in newspapers having a mass circulation of 16,000,000 readers on weekdays and 25,000,000 on Sundays.

He lost that job when he was sued for exposing corruption among prosecuting attorneys, who were taking fines from prostitutes.

For nine years, Koenigsberg also staged the King Features Syndicates Larks, elaborate annual Friars Club dinner parties with a six-hour theatrical involving Broadway luminaries.

Guests received unusual souvenirs at these events, such as a glass container of liquor inside a walking stick.
