Gus C. Weinberg (c. 1865 – August 11, 1952)[1] was an actor, writer, and composer who appeared in early-twentieth-century American films.
[2][3][4] Weinberg lived in Milwaukee but traveled widely, appearing in several lead roles in touring shows in the United States and London.
[7][8][9] In 1934 it was reported that "[F. P.] Choate arranged to take over the historic old Mason theater, where he had acted in musical plays with Gus Weinberg and other stars of the day".
[11] Shortly after his death, a 1952 retrospective in Omaha, Nebraska, noted: You will also remember Gus Weinberg who died at 86 in Portland, Me.
He played Omaha many times, first in the Pixley and Luders musical comedy "The Burgomaster," then in "The Isle of Spice," "The Forbidden Land," "The Song Birds," "The Gingerbread Man" and others.
