Jacob Marinoff, a Yiddish poet, humorist and former publisher, died yesterday at the age of 94 at the Workmen’s Circle home for the Aged here.
He published in the ’20s Der Groiser Kundes (The Big Stick), a Yiddish weekly devoted to humor which published stories by Sholem Aleichem, Sholem Asch and I. J. Singer. He was the author of “Humor and Satire,” a three-volume study and three volumes of poetry.
