Spoiler : Does anyone know Mrs Kitzel’s first name?? Thanks!

Spoiler : I read a magazine interview from the 1950s that said that Auerbach hated the Kitzel character but he could make a lot more money playing him than he could have ever made with his camera. He had taken some of the pictures of the Lindbergh baby trial in the 1930s.

Spoiler : Artie Auerbach (Arthur Allan Auerbach) Born New York, New York, May 7, 1903 Died Los Angeles (Van Nuys), California, October 3, 1957 Age 54 (heart attack) Known for his Mr. Kitzel character. Before becoming a radio actor in the 1930s he had been a world class newspaper photographer.

Spoiler : Born in New York City 5/17/1903; died 10/3/1957 of a heart attack in Van Nuys, California. He began his career as a reporter for the New York Daily News.
