Sid Kuller
Sid Kuller (27 October 1910 New York, New York – 16 September 1993 in Sherman Oaks, California) was an American comedy writer, producer and lyricist/composer, who concentrated on special musical material, gags and sketches for leading comics. He collaborated with Ray Golden and Hal Fimberg on the screenplay of the Marx Brothers' vehicle ''The Big Store'', for which he also supplied the lyrics to the musical climax, "The Tenement Symphony". Earlier in their careers, Kuller and Golden wrote comedy songs and special material for the Ritz Brothers. Although he wrote prodigiously and with facility throughout his life, Kuller admitted, "The creation of comedy is a painful experience".〔Quoted by Adamson, Joe, ''Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo''.〕

After attending Columbia University, Kuller began contributing jokes and songs to vaudeville performers, such as Bert Lahr and Jack Benny, and became a ghost-gag-writer for the legendary Al Boasberg. While working on an Earl Carroll Vanities show he started to write comedy bits for the precision-dancing Ritz Brothers, who brought him and fellow-writer Ray Golden with them to Hollywood in 1937.〔Vosburgh, Dick, "Obituary: Sid Kuller," ''The Independent'', London, 13 October 1993.〕
On Broadway Kuller and Golden were part of the team which wrote the book for the progressive 1940 revue ''Meet the People'', which included one of his early hit songs ''Elmer's Wedding Day'' (with music by Jay Gorney).〔The Internet Broadway Database〕 He also wrote the political musical revue, ''O Say Can You Sing'', which was performed in Chicago,〔Goldstein, Malcolm, ''The Political Stage: American drama and theater of the Great Depression'', 1974, p. 255.〕 and may have been one of the producers of the original Chicago production of the Federal Theater Project's groundbreaking all-black ''Swing Mikado''.,〔Lax, David, ''One Man Show'', Washington Irving Gallery publication, 1976, p. 48.〕 which transferred to Broadway without him.
