Jewish?
This article has listed Gus Kahn as Jewish, or not, from time to time. The websites http://www.adherents.com/largecom/fam_jews.html and http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/biosK.html and http://www.nndb.com/people/450/000205832/ do no list him as Jewish. His son died in 2008. Don't know how to contact the family. His gravestone is engraved w/ the Masonic emblem. He was born in a Rhein River town and 'Kahn' in German means 'river boat.' Oliver Kahn, the great German goalie and a gentile, was born in a nearby Rhein River town, for example. Can someone please provide some documentation? Tapered (talk) 02:54, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
: Gus Kahn is an American Jewish Songwriter! http://www.jewsinamerica.com/music.html He is not German like Oliver Kahn. "Kahn" is also a famous jewish Surname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.246.203.62 (talk) 20:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
What about his family?
Only one mention of his wife ! ? ! ? !
No mention of his children ! ? ! ? !
To me, a biography is not complete if immediate family is not mentioned.
I think it's rather tacky to have to go to an article about the movie of his life to come across any info about his family ! ! 2600:8800:785:1300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 10:58, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
