[edit] Further possible sources

Someone might want to get hold of "On Stage, Off Stage: Memories of a Lifetime in the Yiddish Theatre" by Luba Kadison, Joseph Buloff, and Irving Genn. Kadison and Buloff started with the Vilna troupe. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:05, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Names

I've done my best to spell names appropriately; in most cases all I had to go from was Bercovici's sometimes idiosyncratic Romanian orthography. Also, I'm almost shooting in the dark as to which names deserve links: it's hard to know who there may be more material about, especially because little of it is on line, and presumably much of it is in Yiddish, a language in which I am illiterate. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:26, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] After 1927

I know that there was a revived Vilna Troupe after 1927 (maybe under Mazo in Poland? I'm not sure) and there may have been a split off at the time the bulk of the troupe tried settling in Bucharest. I'd welcome any additional sources of information. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:26, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

This site says "The Vilner Troupe was destroyed by the Nazis following their invasion of Poland in 1937." Since the Nazi invasion of Poland was in 1939, I can't exactly take that as definitive. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:40, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kadisons

Luba Kadison Buloff (mentioned above at #Further possible sources) died Thurs at home aged 99 (December 14 1906, Kovno, Lithuania - May 4 2006, Manhattan) (per NYTimes, Tues May 9, citing dau Barbara B.). She (& fa. Leib Kadison & the Troupe) "moved to Warsaw" "[s]oon after the war" (WWI). Met Joseph Buloff (d. 1983) in Poland, where he joined the Troupe, married him in 1923. Both to NYC, "[f]ive yrs later" ('28, presumably), on invitation of Maurice Schwarz, impressario of Yiddish Art Theater. JB went on to Broadway; she played Linda Loman in the Yiddish Death of a Salesman, performed into the late 1950s, then taught acting, and interpreted for Soviet Jewish immigrants.
