New ventures bring new opportunities for those with talent.  An artist travels to see his work on display, while a singer attempts to transform a different skill into a fortune.

December 1931, Spanish painter Josep Maria Sert travels with his wife Princess Roussie Mdivani Sert to see the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to see the Sert Room, named after his Don Quixote murals.  Meanwhile, Cobina Wright opens the Sutton Club in her home for supper and dining with entertainment.  She hopes the new venture will help restore the lost Wright fortune.
