About Ed Wynn
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Wynn
Ed Wynn (November 9, 1886 – June 19, 1966) was a popular American comedian and actor noted for his Perfect Fool comedy character, his pioneering radio show of the 1930s, and his later career as a dramatic actor.
Wynn began his career in vaudeville in 1903] and was a star of the Ziegfeld Follies starting in 1914. During The Follies of 1915, W. C. Fields allegedly caught Wynn mugging for the audience under the table during his "Pool Room" routine and knocked him unconscious with his cue. Wynn wrote, directed, and produced many Broadway shows in the subsequent decades, and was known for his silly costumes and props as well as for the giggly, wavering voice he developed for the 1921 musical review, The Perfect Fool.

[Both the 1900 and 1910 censuses list him has "Isidor." His Variety obituary lists his original name as "Isaiah." His Variety obituary states that he "ran away from him in his teens," and started working in show business, but that doesn't preclude his having come home to be found in 1910 census.]
