In 1931 Y. Lyubomirski characterizes him as such:
"The best impression that
she made was in the role of Zelda in the "Two Kuni
Lemels." She played there with a special certainty and
hopefulness. here she also had the best opportunity to
display her voice: a mild, warm timber. Here she felt
very free on the stage, with very simple measures,
through simple khnudiker acting with grace, a
significant, emotional oyfvirkung on the
audience.
Sigalovska herself is more
content by her work in 'Lekert,' 'Koymnkerer,' and
'Rosita,' because in these forms she had an opportunity
to display her individual approach. As the little boy in
"Lekert" Sigalovska took an entirely different approach
than what had been played in other theatres. Usually
this little boy is considered a brat, a meidem,
and it is emphasized under the white-gang, this
mischievousness. According to Sigalovska the performance
played itself out as the young boy in 'Lekert,' very
serious about the events that are happening before his
eyes. It is possible that the young boy is a future
Lekert. Sigalovska has even argued with the stage
director Norvid. He should give the little boy some
employment in the workshop, who figures on the stage.
But with that, this is the young boy portrayed by
Sigalovska so seriously. She cheated on him and
shattered his boyish zest for a life which would not
have diminished the seriousness of the conflict.
Therefore, the figure of the young boy looks too modest
and too serious. Like a blustery shot, he turns around
the stage.
In the case of 'Kvimnkerer,' Sigalovska
set herself up to portray a naive village girl, a piece
of raw earth. The means she used here were made easily,
naturally. The main thing is that she didn't 'overact,'
not overpowering these measures. Only at first (in the
beginning), when Khasye arrives at the friend's, she
stands gulmevate with unkempt legs [?]. The tip
of the bots turned inside out.
From her last work she is
more of a 'heart-wrenching' woman than ever, We are
looking for her natural planting [?]-- to the comedy
genre. Generally to such genres where it is demanding,
daring men are demanding. Thus she makes a good
impression in the workers' group, is a third act [?], in
the revue 'Gedekt kortn (Deck of Cards?).' a little
farshmelert ir shpil-baze der kleiner vukt. All in
all she is an artist with a personality, with a future."
