lightful comedy, lizard To Be A

Anna Appel, Bertha Gersten. H.
Sherman, Lazar Fried, Mum
Weisenfreund. Wolf Goldfaden,

In New York, where the Ytd-
dish Art Theater has thrived for
many years, its performances have
found unusual popular appeal
among English-speal5in playgpers.
The Yiddish is the naturalistic
school, and while the complete
SYNOPSIS, printed in English, is
help, it is really unnecessary in
order to follow the action OF the
play.
This washington engagement is
one of the few that will be played
in the East. Last week the COM
pany was compelled to bring its
New York engagement to an un-
timely end because the famous
Madison Square Garden, in which
lIS L All was ~
Gated, has fallen into the hands Of
house wreckers, and by this time
it is being laid waste. A new
theater is being erected for FIR.
Swartz, where he will make q
strong appeal for the continuance
of his English.speaking patron
age and later in the season he
will direct not only this play
