ADDITIONAL TEXT MERGED HERE FROM "Shubert Brothers" - TO BE EDITED

A great cloud surrounds the Shubert dynasty, and no one will ever know the exact truth about their lives; we can only make educated guesses based on combined accounts of those who worked, lived, and loved with them. From what we do know, the Shubert brothers (Sam, Levi [Lee], and Jacob [J.J.]) came to the United States as part of a larger poor, Jewish family in 1882. They settled in Syracuse with their destitute family. They had no idea that nearly twenty-five years later their estimated total worth would be reaching half a billion dollars.

There is no one solid account of the Shubert brothers that can be considered a fully comprehensive biography sharing only facts that are absolutely certifiably true. The reason? From day one, The Shuberts realized the benefit of having a personal mythology and creating legend. They lied inconsistently about their ages. They were known to be a certain age one year, and miraculously years younger the following year. Their birthplace changed multiple times. Scandal was never far from reach. Lawsuits piled up throughout the years, including the only suit in history where actors sued claiming they were too poorly talented to go on with the show.

Keith Circuit

My father, Georgie Price, under contract to the Shuberts, toured on what was known as the "Keith circuit". There's a chapter about him in The Brothers Shubert.Unfree (talk) 16:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
