A. Robins (1886-1950) was a clown who performed in the United States and Europe from the 1900s until 1950. He was born Adolf Proper in Vienna, Austria. He took on the stage name A. Robins before coming to the United States in the early 1910s. In his early career, he performed as part of a duo, the Brothers Robins. He was known as the Banana Man for a trick he performed in which he pulled large numbers of bananas out of his pockets. Robins was known for making his own props.

Robins papers contain photographs, letters, and other papers dating from 1908 to 1950 documenting Robins' career, and a ledger that belonged to Sam Levine when he was performing as A. Robins.

One photograph is inscribed to Robins' niece, Phyllis Wollman. There are photographic postcards depicting the Brothers Robins, one of which has a note from Robins written on the back. The collection also includes a drawing of a clown signed "Krehan." Letters date from 1927 to 1948, and contain invitations to Robins to perform and thanks for his performances. The letters from 1928 concern Robins' work in England, where he was a popular performer. The collection also contains magazine articles about Robins, dating to 1950; certificates awarded to Robins for his charitable work; promotional brochures; piano-conductor scores; and a piece of writing about Robins' life and work, labeled "written by Harry Houdini for Robins."
