L. was born in 1903 in
Warsaw, Poland, into a [balebatisher] family. Due to
this, that her mother was young when she died, and her
father had married for a second time, she was raised by
her married sister, as the other second sister and her
brother, the actor Itzhak Lipinski, were in 1921
away in America.
Having from early youth an
inclination to sing and act, she had for some years sung
in the chorus and was introduced to conductor M. Shneur
and at the same time acted in dramas with the young
organization "Tsukunft". In 1922 she entered into a
Yiddish dramatic school under the direction of Weichert,
which she had attended for six years until the end of
1928, when she immigrated to Paris.
Without regard for the
difficult immigrant conditions in Paris, she soon joined
the drama with the "Kultur-lige (Culture League)", where
she acted in various roles and at the same time from
time to time performed individually with recitations.
In the beginning of 1934,

created under the leadership of David Licht, which she
went into, and she soon came into a prominent role in

roles in the offerings of "Azef", Sholem Aleichem's "Goldgreber",
"dos farkhishufte shneyderl", Kulbak's "Boytre",
