Tomorrow, Saturday, there will be
performed in the New York Coliseum, East 177th Street, near
Starlight Park, the first carnival-concert and dance evening
from the Yiddish Actors' Union. The carnival has been going
on for several weeks now in the Jewish and non-Jewish New
York, and it will be talked about for months to come. This
will truly be a marvelous, rare evening -- a carnival in the
fullest sense of the word.
Listing everything that will happen in
the Coliseum is naturally impossible. Can one list the names
of some hundred stars and actors from the Yiddish theatres
who will perform there in this Yiddish "minstrel show,"
which Joseph Rumshinsky has organized? Wednesday the Actors'
Union tried to list all the names in the "Forward" on an
entire page ...
Can one list all the Broadway stars
from the musical comedies, nightclubs, radio programs and
vaudeville, who will come tomorrow night in the Coliseum?
There is no place for this ...
Not less than six famous bandleaders
will conduct their orchestras, and the audience will dance.
There will be performed the "Hebrew
Symphony," which Louis Weissman has composed, and Adolphe
Kornspan will conduct.
There will be staged a "mother
contest," and four mothers will win cash prizes.
Jewish and non-Jewish sports will be
performed, and they will show their heroism -- in short.
Only the Actors' Union can organize and
stage such a carnival.
The chairman of the evening is Jean
Greenfield. Reuben Guskin and Louis Weissman are the
"masters of ceremony." Irving Honigman has the supervision
over the stage.
As was already said, listing everything
is impossible. It is only necessary to repeat that those who
will not be attending the Coliseum tomorrow evening will
miss the most remarkable theatrical event of the year.
And how do you not go to a ball and not
invite someone to a dance with the most beautiful actress or
the most handsome Jewish lover-singer? |
