From the New York Times, October 3, 1932:

"Portrayed in twenty-eight rapidly moving vignettes, “Yoshe Kalb” encompasses many moods and colors. There is an old woman’s dance in celebration of the wedding full of serene dignity; a scene in a poor man’s synagogue racy and earthy; a scene in which the old rabbi is rejected conveys genuine pathos. The large cast is uniformly capable and thoroughly immerses itself in the material and spirit of the play. Maurice Schwartz as the old rabbi gives one of the best performances he has rendered in several seasons. Anna Appel, ritual bath attendant and ‘barber’—she shaves the heads of the brides—is a powerful figure of earth. Helen Zelinska as an idiot reveals a vigor hitherto dormant in her. Michael Rosenberg is a rambunctious fellow vital to his toes, and Isadore Casher and Lazar Freed acquit themselves more than creditably.”
