Jennie Goldstein has returned from
South America. Full of enthusiasm, a cheerful enthusiast.
With everything and everyone she has seen and experienced in
distant lands, she has much, much to learn. And she also has
a lot to show. The actors, for example, with whom she played
in Argentina, presented her in her evening of honor with a
silver heart, which is much larger even than the largest
star. And the manager of her theatre there, an Italian who
knows Yiddish, gave her a rare fountain pen of gold, set
with diamonds, which had remained an inheritance from his
grandfather. Today she has to show the rave reviews and the
many articles with songs of praise. In short, Jennie
Goldstein is highly satisfied with her trip, which lasted
barely six months ...
The main greeting that Miss Goldstein
brings from Argentina, as well as from Brazil and Uruguay,
is that Jews there love theatre and support every artist who
comes there as a guest.
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, there is
found three Yiddish theatres in which three Yiddish troupes
play, and they all, reports the actress, are successful.
There one now finds Ludwig Satz, Menasha Skulnik and
Pesach'ke Burstein, and they all are big hits with the
audience. |

Incidentally, Mrs. Goldstein wrote by
herself a play with the name, "Madame Pagliacci," according
to her, and the play has been played many times in South
America.
In short, she is so enthusiastic and so
satisfied with her tour in South America, that she plans to
return there in a year's time.
She played in Buenos Aires, in
Montevideo, in San Paolo and Rio de Janeiro. And as she
said, if only she could play and play there, but she longed
for home. She left everything behind and came home early.
But it seems that she will not stay here for a long time. In
a week or two she will most likely head to Warsaw, where she
will perform at the Yiddish theatre. Or, she says, she will
appear in a play on Broadway. But even this is not definite.
She has a lot of plans. At present she does not know which
of them will be realized.
