L. was born on
4 June 1886 in Lodz, Poland.
Her father was
a tailor.
She learned at
home. Through her sister and brother, who
had acted in the theatre, she was taken to
Zdunska Wola in 1903, where she acted as "Serafina"
in "Bar kokhba" and, due to bad business,
she went home from there on foot. For two
years she worked as a [stacker=shtoperke]
in a factory and then was taken into the
chorus of Zandberg, and more than a
half-year later (1905) she organized the
chorus as a troupe which traveled to Bendin
to act. In Radom the local troupe united
with a second troupe, which consisted of
members of the Warsaw Yiddish theatre chorus
(Loshe kutner -- later German, Chana
Foderman, Malka Riten, Dina Shayevitsh,
Misha German, M. Bulman, Max Brin and Flaum)
and they traveled together to Lomza, where
L. already performed in the first roles of
Gordin's "Pertuar". |
