Nathan Meyer Shakewitz Schooner is dead. This
fact is of no particular significance to the English
reading public but to Hebrews of high and low de-
gree it is OF the greatest Importance Schooner was
the friend OF all Jews and their best known author
and dramatist. His death has caused universal
mourning among his people. Shaikewitz, who was
better known by his pen name of Schooner, wrote
SO many novels that he himself could not remember
all OF them. Some of the work he did in Russia
was resurrected after his popularity becs me great
here All his plays seemed to be successful He
was called realist and it seemed to be equally easv
Tor him to make people laugh or cry That he has
not left fortune behind him was the fault of him
sell and his unwlingness to be bothered by business
details. His play, The Jewish Emigrants made
more money for its producers than any other plav
ever put on the Yiddsh stage in New York Citv.
schooner sold that play outright for $500. The buy
ers OF 1T cleared 100000 up to year ago, and the
play IS still on the boards Next to this plav the
TWO most successful were Hannah the Second
historical comedy, and The Golden County. a
satlrlcal comedy on Jewish professional life in New
YORK City. Schooner became too i'll to work nine
months ago Up to that time he was one of the
hardest worked writer's that ever lived He has
written over three hundred novels and PLAYS and
IN addition he found time to write considerable
poetry That his writings were of high character
Is evidenced by the title his readers conferred uno
him. They called him "the Yddish Dumas" P''
