This was the first visit (1930) to Buenos Aires for Maurice Schwartz
and his troupe. They were to perform in the theatres Nuevo and
Argentina.
According to
Zalmen Zylbercweig's biography of Maurice Schwartz:
From 5 April 1930, S. began to perform in English in scenes from
Shakespeare's "Shylock" in Kitt's vaudeville circuit, with a great
success. Here he received an invitation from Argentina's Yiddish
theatre director Adolf Mide to come to Argentina, where he directed
with the local troupe "Tuviya der milkhiger," "Jew Suss," "God of
Vengeance," "The Blacksmith's Daughter," "Hard to be a Jew,"
Hinkemann," "The Ghost," "Kidddush Hashem," "Konkurentn," "Shabse
Tsvi," and "The Seven Who Were Hanged". The visit was an
extraordinary success.
