One-Act Plays from the Yiddish.
[Judaica]. Block, Etta, translator. One-Act Plays from the Yiddish. Cincinnati: Stewart Kidd Company, (1923).
8vo.; blue cloth; dust-jacket; extremities lightly chipped.
First edition of this collection of six plays: “Champagne,” by Isaac Loeb Perez;“Mother and Son,” by J. Halpern; “The Stranger,” “The Snowstorm,” and “When the Dew Falleth,” by Perez Hirschbein; and “The Eternal Song,” by Marc Arnstein. The publisher notes on the dust-jacket that these translations were approved by the authors or their representatives, and that “the plays themselves are some of the finest examples of the one-act form in Yiddish, and Miss Block has lifted them over into English without losing their distinctive flavor.”
