Peretz Hirschbein epub The Haunted Inn: A Drama in Four Acts (Classic Reprint)

It was with The Haunted Inn D ie Puste Kretshme) that the Jewish Art Theatre of New York, under the direction of Mr. Emanuel Reicher, inaugurated its career in the autumn of 1919; byvirtue of the striking production and the remarkable acting of Mr. J. Ben-A mi in the role of I tsik, the drama was soon the talk not only of the Yiddish reviewers, but also of the critics of the English press, who forsook Broadway for Madison A venue and Twenty-S eventh Street and long made the play the subject of enthusiastic comment. It is this play, indeed, that was directly responsible for Mr. Ben Amis rapid transfer to the English-speaking stage, and his appearance in the English version will reveal one of the most original pieces in the Jewish repertory. So much of the drama is written with Mr. Hirshbein ssensitivity to subdued tones that not a little of its quality is sure to be missed if the spectator or reader is not on the alert for the subtle values inherent in the better writings of the symbolists; here color tends to subside into nuance, and action, rarely of the violent category which we usually associate with melodrama, is refined into the suggestion of impulse and mood.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
