[edit] The origin of his name & surname

• Is he German immigrant? --Sheynhertz-Unbayg 12:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

According to the German Wik page, he is actually FZ Junior, his father having been born in Germany. Kdammers 4 July 2005 00:39 (UTC)

Thank you very much!! (:-D) --Sheynhertz-Unbayg 4 July 2005 00:43 (UTC)

I have read that he was not Jewish.

[edit] wrong link

The link from "Rio Rita" goes to a page about the 1942 Abbott and Costello movie, which shares little more than the name with the 1929 movie that was in fact made of the Ziegfeld production. But I don't know how to fix this...
