Of trouble and want.
He often went to the theatre and
saw other actors act his parts, his
beloved parts, and while the au-
dience laughed and enjoyed, not not
icing their former idol, he, in corner
of the stage, bitterly cried, recollect-
ing the happy moments when he held
the audience spellbound-now they
had forgotten him.
One afternoon he took a lonely
walk in Central Park and being
tired, sat down near the lake.
1t was a magnificent August day 1t

scenery made a deep impression on
his artistic nature. Somewhere, not
far, he heard children's voices.
He forgot himself. He recollected

was sad and lonely
Then he recalled his first appear

Second Year
THREE EVENINGS.
"a Story of the Ghetto by PIaton
Brounoff in the Jewish Criterion.


Brounoff in the Jewish Criterion.
He grew up to be boy of eigh-
teen in a small southwestern town of
Russia, in the poverty stricken house
of his parents, without any education
to speak of.
His life was monotonous, enlivened
only by his services as "behelter,' or
"belfer" the Hebrew teachers assist
anti at a school in the town. But
when a company of the early Jewish
actors arrived at his native town and
announced performance of comedy
to be presented in tent on the out
skirts of the town, he took his last
five kopecks and went to see the play
The moment the action began on the
stage he felt fire burning within
him which nothing could extinguish,
and when he left the performance,
though he never studied the art of elo-
cution or acting, he was fired with the
belief that he could play the coined
ian better than the actor who took
the part in the play. The company
left the town, but the boy dreamt
of the stage.
And he ran away from his parents,
from his home, never to return.
He could not stay there any longer
He decided to become an actor
and to show the world what he could
do. After travelling in all sorts of
weather, he reached the city of Odessa
ION the Black Seal, where the Jewish
stage was being created by Goldfaden,
who wrote the first plays and acted
in them himself.
The boy worked about the wharf
having little to eat, but :.
disc, for he spent his last "kopeika"
at the ticket-office of the Jewish the
atre. There in the gallery he lived
and dreamed of the dave when he
would be the actor and other people
would look on.
The manager and the actors soon
came to know the boy on account of
his persistent attendance.
One day the boy appeared at the
theatre and asked the manager to let
him in free of charge, because, as
he explained, he had not been work
ing for a week and therefore, had no
money to pay for seat. He also said
that, If the manager would not mind
he would sweep the floor, be stage
hand or run errands.
The manager seeing his persist
ency, admitted him, and the boy lived
in the theatre, sleeping in corner OF
the stage, and that was life to him

as we'll as if he had been a trained
actor all his life.
The author and manager were sat
isfied, though from the bottom of their
hearts they were afraid that Schliom-
ka would get stage-fright at the pub
lie performance.
The news that the stage-hand boy
would play the principal part in the
new comedy spread around town, and
the theatre was crowded.
Schliomka hardly slept the night
before. His dreams were going to be

piece and the curtain went up slowly.

and he spoke and conquered. A sim
pie sentence it was, but the whole
theatre burst out laughing, so natur-
ally and comically was the phrase
spoken by him.
Some friends of the sick comedian
tried to hiss the boys performance,
but as the play went on, he conquered
everybody. All faces were radiant,
laughing, and crying from laughter.
When the cutain went down for the
last time thunder of applause fol-
lowed cries of bravo" "Schmen-
Dirk" "Schliomka," etc. He kept on
coming out and bowling for fifteen
minutes. 1t was a triumph. =.
1t was the first evening and happy
one.
After the first performance, the
boys future was assured. Time pass
ed. From an errand boy and a stage
hand the boy became one Of the lead
ers of the Jewish stage
He played new parts in new plays
written by new authors. He travelled
over Russia, Germany, Austria, Eng
land, followed by success everywhere
and at last he was recognized as the
greatest comedian of the Jewish stage.
Some said that if he knew a Europe
an language, he would become great
comedian on any stage.
In the meantime the anti-Semitic RI
OTIS occurred in Russia and he decided
to leave that barbaric country and to
emigrate to the United States, where
many thousands of his countrymen
were settled. He came to New York
and with the aid of some Jewish ac-
tors organized new theatrical COM
pany, and the Jewish theatre became
a very important factor in the Ghet-
to.
New authors appeared The boy"

From evening to evening he would
stand between the scenery watching
the actors, nearly eating them up with
his eyes.
One day new comedy by Gold
faden, under the title of "Schmen-
Dirk" was announced The play was
name "Nedrosi" by Fon Win. 1t
dealt with the absurdity of the educa-
ton and the bringing up of the chill
dren of that day.
The tickets were sold two weeks be-
fore the performance. The comedi-
an who was to play the part of
"Schmendrik" was dreaming of new
laurels, for the part was very COM
ical one, but, one evening, returning
to his house he slipped and broke his
right leg.
He was taken to the hospital, and
the doctor said that the comedian
would have to remain at least for six
weeks in the hospital before he could
reappear on the stage The manager
and the author of the new play were
in despair. They expected such tri-
umph, artistic and financial. :.
and now all that was gone and their
hopes shattered What remained to
do.
The day following the rehearsal, the
author, with "Schmendrik's" part in
his hand, came and began trying diff
ferent actors in the part of Schmen-
dirk, but without success; one was
too serious, the other was too inane,
the third made a fool of himself.
The manager and the author were
engaged in discussing what to do
when the stage-hand, who was known
as Schlomka, approached in a timid
voice and said: Let me play the
part"
Everybody present laughed.
what, you, Schliomka? you will
play the part of Schmendrik?" asked
the author.
Eyes," the boy answered. Il Will
play it; let me have the part, and to-
morrow morning you will see for your
self if can do 1t or not. You will
see," he continued beseechingly, that
you will be satisfied
There was something so touching
in the boys appeal that the author
gave him the part, amid the smiles of
the actors.
The boy ran away behind the stage
crying out of sheer happiness. There
in his corner, near the dim light of
the gas jet, he studied the part of
"Schmendrik," and the next day sur
prised everybody by speaking the
whole part from memory, and acting

Schilomka won recognition as the best
actor in the Jewish community.
One evening play by Gordin, call
ed the Jewish King Lear" was an
nounced, and Schliomka was to play
the part of "Schammai," the servant,
in which he had scored great tri-
umph many time before. The first
act passed WELL In the second act the
Jewish King Lear is giving over his
property to his children. "Schammai'
wants to accompany him on his jour-
ney. King Lear persuades him to re-
main home but "Schammai' must say.
NO, my master, where you will live,
| will live, and where you will die,

mouth to speak, but could utter no
sound. He tried again He could
not speak. A great tragedy had
happened. schliomka's voice
was lost. Tears, bitter tears, rolled
down his cheeks. King Lear himself
cried.
Some of the people sitting in front
wept. The curtain descended slowly.
A great confusion followed. The au-
dience would know what had happen

The curtain rose after several mo-
