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-

theater was packed to the doors

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-
