Joseph
Buloff (1899-1985) was one of the leading actors in the
Vilna Troupe. He was married to Yiddish actress Luba
Kadison.
Buloff was invited to join Maurice Schwartz's Yiddish Art
Theatre, and he left Europe in 1926 to join the troupe.
Buloff not only
performed in Yiddish, but did so in English as well. He
appeared in over 225 Yiddish plays before first performing
on Broadway for the first time in 1936.
Buloff and Kadison were the first to perform Arthur
Miller's "Death of a Salesman" in Yiddish.
