My grandfather was an acrobat in the early days of the Pantageous. I am trying to find out anything I can about him. All that I know is he lived in Los Angeles in 1916. He was performing then and was on the way there when my mother was born in Lincoln Nebraska. I presume he had a stage name but his given name was Isaac Barnett Benjamin. My grandmother was born in Wisconsin and I presume she was following him from that area at that time. Any information or suggestions that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
