The play, which Bertha Kalich had reworked for the Yiddish stage, after a long interruption, had great success and remained year-long in the repertoire of Bertha Kalich (later in a revival production by Izidor Casher).

In 1925 there was staged in Philadelphia's Garden Theatre Sh.'s and her sister Miriam's play, "Di makht fun gezets (The Power of Law [?]," [originally "In di hent fun gezets"] with Samuel Goldenburg and Celia Adler in the main roles. The play also was soon brought over by them to New York, where in March 1925 it was staged in the Prospect Theatre (with the participation of Yudel Dubinsky, Lucy Levin and Sally Weisenfreund.)

On 15 September 1928 at the Second Avenue Theatre, there was staged under the direction of Jacob Kalich, music by Joseph Rumshinsky, Sh.'s and her sister Miriam's operetta, "Dos tsirkus meydl (The Circus Girl)" (originally called "Ver iz di meyl"), with Molly Picon in the title role, and with the participation of Sam Kestin, Betty Simonoff, Gertrude Bulman and Irving Grossman. The operetta played for sixteen weeks for packed houses, and was also staged in Argentinean Yiddish theatre when Molly Picon guest-starred.

On 6 December 1930 there was staged through Ludwig Satz Sh.'s and her sister Miriam's operetta, "Der zingendiker gonev (The Singing Thief)," but, as Sh. recalls, the play did not have any luck, because "Ludwig Satz, who had bought it, had it so tsekalyetshet with the changes, which he had made, that for more than a week they hadn't performed it. For me, this cooled my desire to write for Yiddish theatre." But she finished her father's play, "Der zindiker rebbe," under the name "Dos kul fun gevisn," and composed a drama in three acts, "Vayb, oder mame," and (together with her sister Miriam) a musical comedy, "Der apashe-tants (The Apache Dance [?])," or, the "Libes-tants."

She settled in Los Angeles, California, where she organized the local department of the "Maliam (sp)" (details can be found in the book "Vi ikh hob zay gekent," pp. 49-53), the organization to help create and disseminate Yiddish music, and in the span of the eight years she existed there as president.

Sh. had from time to time, in the local Yiddish and Yiddish-English press, in "Tog" and in "Yiddish Culture," written articles about her father, about her brother and sister and about large Yiddish personalities, with whom she came into contact with. A part of these works she later had used for her book, "Undzer foter Shomer," which she as published in 1950 in the "Ikuf" Publishing house (New York, 251 pp.), and in which for the first time her sister Miriam wrote. The book also contains a series of assessments and reviews about Shomer from well-known Yiddish writers. In 1953 the book, in the Hebrew translation by Aaron Vaysman, with an introduction by Dov Sdn and Sh., was published under the name "Avinu Shomer" in the "Aḥiʾasaf" publishing house in Jerusalem, published with the assistance of Madam Rose Shomer Bachelis."

In 1955 in Los Angeles Sh. published her book "Ṿi ikh hob zey geḳenṭ, [portraits] of well-known Yiddish personalities" (154 pp.), in which there were included in her memories and episodes about: Morris Rozenfeld, A. M. Sharkansky, Shlomo Shmuelwitz, Naftali Hertz Imber, Avraham Friedus, Elikum Zunzer, Avraham Goldfaden, Rose Pastor Stokes, Henrietta Szold, Solomon Blumgarten-Yehoshua, Berta Kalich, Peretz Hirshbein and Barney (Baruch) Bachelis. She performed from time to time with presentations about her father, Avraham Goldfaden and about Yiddish music.

Sh. is married to Samuel (Shmuel) Bachelis, a brother of the deceased writer Barney Bachelis, author of the book, "Mentshn fun mayn dor" (Los Angeles, 1953). Her brother Avraham and sister Miriam were associated with Yiddish theatre. Sh.'s sister Anna Shomer-Rotenberg, an interpreter of Yiddish songs, has published a book of Yiddish folk songs (Bloch Publishing Company, New York, 1928, 89 pp.; "Songs Heard in Palestine"), and also wrote a play "Amol iz geven a mesh," built on Yiddish folk songs.
