MISCHA AND LUCY GERMAN AGAIN
PLAY AT ORCHESTRA HALL SUNDAY

The vast public that greeted Mischa
and Lucy German and their company
in their debut at Orchestra Hall a
fortnight ago, will again gather Sun-
day evening to witness the presenta-
tion of one of the most powerful
melodramas of Jewish life in Amer

ice.

Wen, I see that the Jewish Tribune km discovered the 12 greatest Jews
the whole world. They are not the same 12 that were voted to be the
t year, but then why shouldn't people's minds change? Here is

yes, I did forget Lord Reading, so that l eaves only one more for you to
choose. Now that we have almost discovered the 12 greatest Jews, how
about the 12 greatest Jewesses in the world? My amu•intaceship with the
great of the world is really limited to this country, but I am quite sure that
it it t a ,s as easy to choose the 12 greatest women as the 12 greatest men.

"A Korben Fun Zind" (A Victim
of Sin), the play to be produced for
the first time this Sunday evening, is
from the pen of Isidore Zolotarevsky,
one of the foremost of Yiddish melo-
drama authors, having to his credit
more than 200 plays of Yiddish life
both in the old and new worlds.
The leadnig parts are played by
Lucy and Mischa German, Mine. Gu-
tentag, and the special part of the
Shadchen is entrusted to M. School-
nik, a character comedian of repute.
Special music is by the well known
Yiddish composer, Herman Wohl, and

Yiddish theater fans who have writ-
ten to the management that this
melodrama is given this evening.
It is the intention of Mr. German
as regiseaur and the Detroit man-
agement to give during this season
at Orchestra Hall not only melo-
drama but all other caliber plays of
the Yiddish and European repertoire
as well as some classical productions.
Arrangements are on the way for
the production of one of the musical
comedies which was played some time
ago all over Europe as well as in the
United States. Later on a play by
the Russian Andreief, one by Ibsen,
and a play specially revised from old
Hebrew for Mr. German, will be pre-
sented. By coming to Orchestra Hall
during this winter season regularly,
the Yiddish thaeter loving public will
have seen a score of different plays
which at the end will make no a
cycle of the best productions oont-
prising the Yiddish repertoire.
