Irving Jacobson had a brother that was well-know in the theater as well. The other name on the star could be Hyman Jacobson. I hope this helps.

I saw your mother perform at Town Hall a number of year ago. She was wonderful. What has happened to her? Is she still performing. I am a member of the Yiddish Actors Friends Club and would hope to see there there sometime.

C. GERALD FRASER Ben Bonus, an actor, producer and a prominent figure in the American Yiddish Theater, died of a heart attack last Friday on a street in Miami. He was 63 years old and lived in Manhattan. Mrs. Bonus, the actress and director known professionally as Mina Bern, said yesterday that she and her husband were taking a walk. ”He was in good spirits and he said, ‘I would like to sit down.’ I turned to look for a place to sit and he fell and died instantly.”

For information, Ben was a wonderful man, actor, singer and loved a good life!
