B. was born on 12 September 1904 in Belaya Tserkov, Kiev Gubernia, Ukraine.

Her father was a teacher of Russian.

Due to economic conditions her parents sent their very grown-up children in America and thus B. came to America at the age of five. Here she finished public school, learned for two years in high school, and became a stenographer for a lawyer. But in the school she acted in the children's productions, and later she became a member in the Art-Ring, which was associated with the Yiddish Art Theatre. She participated in the mass scenes for the local productions, then she acted for a short time with Anshel Schorr in Philadelphia, then at the Irving Place Theatre where she acted in a children's role in "Liliom" by Molnár. From then she went over for two seasons with Anshel Schorr in Philadelphia, a season with Charles Nathanson in Boston, a season at the Irving Place Theatre with Satz, and a season with Ben-Ami.

In 1927-8 B. acted in Chicago for Elias Glickman, in 1928-9 in New York's National Theatre, in 1929-30 at the Hopkinson Theatre (in Brooklyn, New York -- ed.)
