Walker

tues-wed:

  • Mme. Kenny Lipzin, with her own company, direct from New York, in plays written for her: "Der Momzer" & "Die Medea", supported by Elias Rothstein and Jacob Cone and co.

Note from last week:

The genius produced by that strange world called the Ghetto has long attracted wide attention. One of the most remarkable institutions of the large Jewish colonies of the country is the Jewish theatre. The theatregoers of this city will be afforded a treat in Yiddish on Dec.2 and 3rd at the Walker theatre from the greatest company of the Yiddish stage, in one of their best plays. This company is headed by Mme. Kenny Lipzin and includes such players as Elias Rothstein and Jacob Cone. This fine actress and her company,as well as her play will no doubt recieve the attention and patronage of the Jewish people in Winnipeg, and of the Gentiles as well.

The costumes were designed by Percy Anderson of London.

For three years he has appeared in vaudeville , though it is his first appearance in Winnipeg, and every appearance is a novelty to him. He seems to relish the work and is really good-natured to a remarkable degree. He is open to wrestle all comers, barring neither race, weight,creed nor color.
