Date

People's Theater of Nachum Lipovski

Subject

Lidya Pototska first performed in a Russian adaption of Romance in Kovno in 1921 and she performed in a Yiddish version of the play in 1928 in Galicia.

Description

Romance was written by Edward Sheldon (1886-1946) in 1913 and was legendary on the stage and on the screen. It is no wonder it captured the attention of actors in Eastern Europe.

The drama was made into a 1920 silent film and 1930 motion picture with Greta Garbo.
