William Barr Friedlander (12 January 1884 – January 1968) was an American songwriter and theater producer who staged many Broadway shows in the 1920s and 1930s. Most of them were musical comedies. Early successes included ''Moonlight'' (1924) and ''Mercenary Mary'' (1925). Later productions received mixed reception. His longest-running production was the comedy ''Separate Rooms'', which ran from March 1940 to September 1941. ==Early years== William Barr Friedlander was born in 1884. He would become a librettist, composer, producer, director, author and manager. An early example of his work is the 1905 ''The Man with the Jingle'', a song for which Friedlander wrote the lyrics to music by Charles E. Mullen. He wrote the lyrics to ''My lovin' Henry'' (1905), music by Terry Sherman. Friedlander married the Russian-born Nan Halperin, a vaudeville performer, and composed all the songs she used in her act. During the 1910s and 1920s he produced a number of tabloid shows for vaudeville. ''The Suffragettes'' was a very successful tab show featuring Nan Halperin. In 1916 W.B. Friedlander Inc. produced ''Salamander Sallies'' by Will M. Hough (1882–1962) and Friedlander, ''The Night Clerk'' headed by Frank Ellis, ''The Four Husbands'' with Howard Burkholder and George W. Jenks, among others. The shows were booked through vaudeville houses. The company said it planned to produce a new revue called the Friedlander Show with seven complete stage settings and 34 people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William B.
