The play,
a comedy in four acts, was first staged
on 23 January 1925 in New York City at
the National Theatre and starred Leon
Blank; music was by Peretz Sandler.
On the
left, is a photograph (from the front of
a postcard) of the three "brides" with
the lead actor Leon Blank.
Above is
the backing of the postcard, announcing
the play. Perhaps these were available
at the performance for attendees to send
to family members, or maybe to others who might be
on a mailing list, who might be interested in attending a future
performance. Even though it seems
as if the postcard wasn't send, it is addressed to
actress Clara Rafalo at the Empire
Theatre in Chicago, IL.
These two
photographs come to you courtesy of the Yiddish
Theatrical Alliance Archives. |
