Ludwig Engländer

[3] According to his obituary in The New York Times, he had studied with Jacques Offenbach.

[4] He immigrated to New York City on October 13, 1882, and became a naturalized American citizen on February 13, 1891.

[5] By the 1890s Engländer was composing prolifically, either for the New York stage, or popular songs (many of which were interpolated into various other productions including A Trip to Chinatown.

[6] Perhaps for that reason he occasionally returned to Vienna near the end of his life to write musicals for that audience.

[4] Additionally he wrote many popular songs written with lyricists such as Sydney Rosenfeld, J. Cheever Goodwin, Harry B. Smith, and others.
