“Yoshe Kalb”, the play which ran in New York for more than a year, goes on the road Sunday, according to announcement by Maurice Schwartz, director of the Yiddishe Art Theatre at 2nd Avenue and 12th Street. Mr. Schwartz, who dramatized and produced the play and takes the leading role in it, that of Reb Melech, will leave the city with the entire cast immediately after the last performance Sunday evening. They open at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia on Monday evening. Invitations have been received for special performances of Yoshe Kalb at Princeton University and the University of Michigan.
Mr. Schwartz also announced a revival of “The Dybbuk” for one performance tomorrow evening. This performance will be a testimonial in honor of Isidore Cashier who was associated with the Yiddish Art players as one or their outstanding members for nearly ten years. Mr. Cashier rendered many services to the Yiddish Theatre where he created numerous important roles. Before joining Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Cashier was associated with the late Jacob P. Adler.
