Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great read.By Barry F.This book provided a fascinating look at the history of the yiddish theater; the many individuals involved and the events that shaped it. I ordered it despite the two reviews that focused on a few factual discrepancies. They seemed quite petty. To be sure there could be a name misstated; etc.; but the bigger picture is a book that gives the reader a terrific feel for its subject matter. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn about the yiddish theater.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Entertaining But Beware of the FactsBy Mark A. SteinThis book contains an astonishing number of factual problems. Here are some of the most blatant from just the first 75 pages.1) The original backer of Yiddish actor Jacob Adler is identified; even in the index; only as "Rosenberg." His full name (which isnt difficult to discover) was Israel Rosenberg.2) An influential 1887 book called The American Metropolis is incorrectly identified as The Great Metropolis.3) Abraham Cahans famous novel; The Rise of David Levinsky is; at one point; called The Education of David Levinsky.4) A reference is made to a "hate-monger named Rector Ahlwardt." The mans name was Herman Ahlwardt; he had previously been a rector (principal) of a school in Germany.5) The reason cited for General Ulysses S. Grants notorious order restricting the movement of Jews is completely incorrect.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Full of errors indeed!By Boris Ibsen ThomasMark Stein astutely notes several major errors in the book; and there are many others. Kanfer knows little about the Yiddish theater; and understands even less. He also leans heavily on other; better commentators; often without acknowledging his debt to them. To paraphrase a brilliant critic; whats written by Kanfer here isnt good; and whats good here isnt Kanfers.
