Then he joined Bedini and Arthur, a
noted team of jugglers. He brought
them articles to juggle. Later he be
came half of the vaudeville team of
“Cantor and Lee.”
When working before a microphone
or making a record he feels depressed
because an audience can’t see his eyes.
Was once an errand boy for the Isaac
Gellis Wurst Works.
His birthday, if you’re interested, is
January 31. He was born in 1892 on
Eldridge Street, New York. His great
hobby in life is the maintaining of camps
for boys of the East Side. Who, like
himself when a youth, never get any air
and sunshine.
First started his peppy style of racing
up stage and down in 1910 singing a
song called “The Ragtime Violin” writ
ten by a new song-writer named Irving
Berlin.
Enjoys boxing with people. Often in
his dressing room when a male visitor
enters he will spar with him. He would
like to be a strong man.
The dream of his life for many years
was to build his own home. While the
house was being completed he was think
ing of selling it.
He is a good business man and quirk
to sense an opportunity. Wall Street had
no sooner crashed than he had written
a book called, “Caught Short.” Even in
his dressing room he is business-like,
having a secretary, a desk and a tele
phone.
The first play he ever saw was “The
Talk of New York,” by George M.
Cohan, starring Victor Moore, at the
Grand Opera House, Twenty-third Street
and Eighth Avenue.
Is fussy about food. Eats with an eye
to calories and vitamins. Every so
often, however, he falls off the wagon
and goes in for a heavy kosher meal
which he loves.
His two favorite games are ping-pong
and casino. He is a swell casino player.
The first play he ever appeared in was
“Canary Cottage,” written by Earl
Carroll.
Is always running to a doctor for some
thing or other. One day a doctor ex
amined him and said: “There’s some
thing wrong with a gland in your throat.
That’s the reason your eyes bulge. But
I’m happy to say that I can cure you.”
Cantor looked at the doctor and before
racing from his office, said: “You don’t
fix that gland. I should pay you yet to
take away my livelihood. No, Sir.
Good-bye.”
He would like to be the founder of a
new religion.
Is a hard worker on the stage. When
he was in the last Follies he said to a
friend: “Drop around any time. I’m
always on.”
In his new home which he calls, “The
House That Ziegfeld’s Jack Built,” the
bathroom contains every type of a
shower. He is able to take a shower
standing, sitting, leaning and reclining.
He hates bad wine, bad women and
bad songs. Especially bad songs.
Has a passion for hats. His dressing
room is generally crowded with special
made headgear both for street use and
for comedy purposes.
The ambition of his life is to be the
father of a boy. He has five daughters.
They are Marjorie, Natalie, Edna,
Marilyn and Janet. Marjorie and
Natalie were named after relatives.
Edna, because it was a pretty name.
Marilyn was named after Marilyn Mil
ler. Janet was named after the nurse.
After his fifth daughter was born, one
wit wisecracked: “Cantor is trying to
raise his own Albertina Rasch ballet.”
