Arthur Seymour Lyons (né Efroimsky; 27 May 1895 Minsk, Russia – 26 July 1963 Hollywood) was a theatrical agent for stage, radio, and film.
His brother, Samuel Theodore Lyons (né Schleima Efroimsky; 1899–1941), also born in Minsk, helped catapult Jack Benny into big-time show business beginning 1929.
[1] Lyons is credited as book writer and staging of the Chocolate Kiddies 1925 European tour.
His second, from 1938 to 1940, was to B movie actress Irene Rhodes, pseudonym of Ila Rae Curnutt (maiden; 1918–1982).
Ila, sometime around 1940, presumably after her divorce from Lyons, became engaged to Ronald Reagan, which, according to her, lasted 8 or 9 months.
