Jerome David Kern. U.S. composer for stage and movies, known as the father of the modern musical theater, according to a joint resolution passed by Congress (born Jan. 27, 1885, New York, N.Y., U.S. — died Nov. 11, 1945, New York City). Kern studied music in his native New York City and in Heidelberg, Germany, and he later gained theatrical experience in London. Returning to New York, he worked as a pianist and salesman for music publishers and wrote new numbers for European operettas. In 1912 he composed The Red Petticoat, the first musical to contain only his own music; its success was surpassed by Very Good Eddie. Subsequent musicals include Oh, Boy! (1917) and Sally.
