		Cantor's next step up was a big one; Florenz Ziegfeld, one of the most important stage producers in America, convinced him to come back to New York to take a part in his Midnight Frolic (the energetic Cantor even followed his nightly performance with a vaudeville show elsewhere).
		Cantor also appeared in the Follies of 1918 and 1919, and though Ziegfeld abrubtly fired him in 1920 for his part in a strike by the Actor's Equity Association that forced closure of Broadway theaters, Cantor proved that he didn't need the producer to stay successful.
		Cantor was made a millionaire from his performances (though mostly from Whoopee!), but he was nearly ruined in the stock market crash of 1929.

		Cantor's reputation among the Old Time Radio community has largely rested on his 1940s work, and while these shows are pleasant listening there's nothing to explain precisely why this odd little man with the bulging eyes had so captured the imagination of listeners a decade earlier.
		Eddie Cantor—affectionately nicknamed “Banjo Eyes”—was at one time in his career one of the most popular individuals in show business, a triple-threat entertainer who enjoyed phenomenal success on stage, in movies, and over the airwaves.
		During his 1932-33 season, Cantor enjoyed a Crossley rating of 58.6—the highest ever recorded, though industry skepticism at such a feat soon led to the displacement of Crossley as the yardstick by which listening audiences were measured.

		As James Fisher points out in his EDDIE CANTOR: A BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY (Greenwood Press, $59.95), the eye-rolling, skipping, singing comedian was an equally popular contemporary of Al Jolson and Fanny Brice in the '20s and '30s.
		Perhaps it is because Cantor was part of an era that saw nothing wrong in a performer appearing in flface, as he and Jolson frequently did, but it is now an embarrassment for these politically correct times.
		However, there are intriguing quotes from Cantor's contemporaries, such as George Burns, and those who worked with him on radio and TV, including Rise Stevens, Alan Young, Dick Van Patten, and Margaret Whiting, that often contradict Cantor's image as a downtrodden but quick-witted, generous soul.

		The saucer-eyed Eddie Cantor (18921964) is all but forgotten today except to historians of the musical stage and film, yet he was a master of every medium he attempted, from vaudeville to television, and his variegated career represents a microcosm of 20th-century American show business.
		Through his repeated on-air references to his wife, Ida, and their five daughters, Cantor made himself a "member of the family" to millions of Americans in a way that no performer had been or had ever sought to be.
		Since Cantor's public image was that of a devoted husband and father, a proper biographer would have devoted considerable time to the topic of the star's fidelity, or lack thereof.
