"The poster is from the
Jewish theater Goldfaden from the early thirties. The
entrance fee was only ten lei (Romanian currency). In the
late thirties, it went up to twenty lei.
The Goldfaden theater belonged to my
uncle Max Reisch. For many years it was an indoor theatre
in the Rusische Gasse until it burned down. He then opened
up the covered outdoor theatre which was active until 1940
.In the winter it was used as the entrance to the ice
skating rink."
In the above performance, the Jewish actor Sidy Thal is
acting in an operetta entitled "Dwoires Chassene."
