Lahr’s first wife, Mercedes Delpino–with whom he would have a son named Herbert–developed mental health problems that led to her institutionalization. However, in the early 1930s, Lahr started seeing Schroeder while Delpino was institutionalized.
Altering his last name from Lahrheim to Lahr, he went on to a successful career as a burlesque comic (performing "Dutch" characters, replete with accent) and later in an act paired with his future wife Mercedes Delpino, eventually playing the Palace Theater in 1925.
