It is not clear what the tie to Bulgaria is, though, and references in newspapers seem to have disappeared in the 1920s. The 1919 Emerson-Loos production A Temperamental Wife includes a character named Count Tosoff de Zoolac. The movie appears to be lost, but the attached review quotes the film title cards as referring to him as an “international lounge lizard,” which, along with his name, suggests Zoolack was additionally a form of alcohol (which would explain its disappearance from news articles afterward).
