G. was a friend and pupil of [David] Kessler, and for about thirty years they acted together in various troupes. When Kessler lost his theatre, G. went away to act in Thomashefsky's theatre.

G. was a good actor, but on the stage and in life he was considered modest. Most of the time he used to act in the roles for [shlim-mzls]. G. was popular with all the members, and he also was widely trusted. Due to his [tsurikgehaltnkeyt], he didn't remain very popular, although for [tsendiker=ten] years he acted in important roles.

In 1920 G. acted in Philadelphia's Metropolitan Opera House. At the beginning in the year 1920 he, along with the troupe, acted in New York, but due to financial difficulties, he (on 15 September) committed suicide by taking gas.
