SKULNIK IS THE
YIDDISH CHAPLIN
i lia Performance at Littman's
Theater is Work of
Real Artist.
Menashe Skulnik came to De-
troit for several performances at
Littman's Yiddish People's Thea-
ter and took the city by storm.
Seldom before has an actor so cap-
tivated a Yiddish audience here.
Sensing the magic of his art, the
theater was packed to the doors

performance of skill. He has been
styled, in some non-Jewish quar-
ters, as the Yiddish Charlie Chap-

Cr) the English stage, and there as
well as on the Yiddish stage he
has bewitched critic and audience.

make-up he is a class by himself.
Ilia carriage, Chaplin as it is, en-
forced by the Yiddish humor which
he has mastered, makes you laugh
from rise to fall of the curtain.
But Skulnik's is not the cheap hu-
mor. His is a real study of the life
of the Jew, and very often his awl-
