The Lando Theatre
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Lando Theatre was
located on the corner of Center and Green Avenues.
From the weekly "The Jewish
Criterion," Pittsburgh, PA, Nov. 8, 1929:
LANDO THEATRE, ON CENTER AVENUE,
THE HOME OF YIDDISH THEATRE |
The Lando Theatre is the only Yiddish theatre in the city of
Pittsburgh where one can see an all-star Yiddish company performing
nightly, the best plays of the Yiddish repertoire --musical comedies,
operettas, dramas, melodramas and literary plays of all the famous
and popular authors...
The proprietor, Mr.
Wm. Lando, did everything possible to provide the city of Pittsburgh
with a first-class Yiddish theatre, which is a credit to the entire
community.
The prices are so very low and popular that they are within the
reach of everybody.
The theatre is lavishly decorated, the sceneries and stage effects
are of the highest character, the acting is superb. People wishing
to spend a few hours in fine and pleasant atmosphere and enjoyment
could not do any better than to visit the Lando Theatre any evening
at 8:30, or Saturday matinee, and we can assure them that they will
not regret it. On the contrary they will remain patrons of the only
Yiddish theatre--the Lando Theatre.
Jewish
organizations, who wish to augment the funds of their organization
couldn't do any better than to have their theatre parties in the
Lando Theatre, where a great moral, artistic and financial success
is assured...next |
