Shubert Brothers
(early 20th century)
   US theatre family. Sons of a Syracuse pedlar, the three Shubert brothers, Sam (1875–1905), Lee (1876–1953) and Jacob (1877–1963), built up a theatre empire that at one time dominated Broadway and included half the theatres in the United States. They produced more than five hundred plays, and promoted such Jewish stars as Al JOLSON, Eddie CANTOR and Fannie Brice.
