When he got out of the Navy, Humphrey Bogart got a job as an office boy working for his friend William Brady. Brady was a theatrical producer, and he owned World Film Corporation. Bogart later became a stage manager, and he did that until Brady's daughter, Alice, gave him a small part in a play in which she was starring in, called "Drifting" in 1922.

Once he was released from the Navy, Bogart went to work as a clerk for on old family friend named William Brady. Brady's daughter, actress Alice Brady, thought Bogart may be a good actor and got him into theatre, but the reviews he received were not stellar. Though the critics were harsh on him, Bogart continued to find steady work in the theatre, and was able to make a living. While doing live theatre, he met Helen Menken, a reputed stage actress. Menken was attracted to Bogart and Bogart was entranced with Menken's success. Soon the two were married, though love was not really a part of their relationship.

Early in his career, Bogart met his first wife, Helen Menken. They married in 1926, divorced in 1927, and remained friends. In 1928, Bogart married his second wife, Mary Philips. Philips, like Menken, had a fiery temper, once biting the finger of a cop who tried to arrest her for drunkenness.

Bogart and Mary first met through mutual friends in 1923, and during their relationship they worked together in several theater productions, including Nerves and The Skyrocket. They married in April 1928 and were by most accounts a fun and amicable couple.

Bogart considered Mike Romanoff a poser but nonetheless counted him a close friend. Among other things, Bogart considered him a good chess player and appreciated his tendency to needle people. Mike Romanoff was a man with a cultivated Oxford accent, who insisted that his true name was "Prince Michael Alexandrovitch Dmitri Oblensky Romanoff," and that he was a blood nephew of the former Russian czar.
