ord.Breaking Yiddish
Performer

OF the original players in Turn to
the Right" who are still appearing In
their roles at the Garrick none is
prouder of his record than Al Sincof,
who recently celebrated his one thou
sandth performance in the role of tho
pawnshop proprietor Though he ap-

characterization of the old man who
outfits Joe with a suit of nearly-new
clothing on the boys release from
prison, is one Of the delights of the play.
Sincoff is a prominent Yiddish actor
and manager, and except for few en-
gagements as a character comedian in
musical comedy his work in Turn to
the Right" sums UP his entire career
on the Englsh-speaking stage. He has
operated several Yiddish stock com
panies. For three years his company
at Newark N j., was a f1ourishing IN
stitution. and throughout its existence
Sincoff directed all the productions and
played in many of them. Under the
visiting star system nearly all the
leading Yiddish artists came under Sim
coffs management. among them Jacob

sefsky, Madame Lipson and Madame
