Julius Adler (actor)

Julius Adler (September 23, 1906 – December 28, 1994)[1] was a Jewish-American actor, writer, and director in Yiddish theater.

[2] He played with Julius Nathanson, Leon Blank, Boris Thomashevsky, Aaron Lebedeff, Samuel Goldenberg, Jennie Goldstein, and others.

[3] He originally trained as a hat maker; when his stepfather learned of his desire to become an actor, Adler was put out of the family home.

When Adler's stepfather learned about the amount of money his stepson was making in his acting career, he was invited to move back into the family apartment.

[4] In 1935, he met Henrietta Jacobson[5] while both were appearing with Herman Yablokoff (Hayim Yablonik) in McKinley Square Theater.

When they had an offer to perform in Belgium, Julius proposed by remarking that they could save money on visas and other expenses as a married couple.
