The curiosity, Stanley Lipton was also the name of the character in “No, No, Nanette” – and the family name was legally changed to Lipton in 1926/27.

When Ben died, intestate (in 1962), he apparently had amassed an after tax estate approximating a quarter million dollars – which was divided among the family. In today’s dollars, that amount comfortably exceeds one million – how did he amass that money; what other productions was he involved with?
