Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen, Part II: "Jolly Paupers" Film Screening
About Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen, Part II: "Jolly Paupers" Film Screening
Part II of “Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen” is a Schoenberg Hall screening of the uproarious 1937 Yiddish-language musical comedy, “Freylekhe Kabtsonim” (Jolly Paupers). The film was produced at the famed Kinor Film Studio in Warsaw. It features the same creative team that produced the 1924 opera “Bas-Sheve” — composer Henech Kon and screenwriter Moishe Broderzon — and stars the legendary comedy duo of Shimon Dzigan and Israel Shumacher. Here is a clip from the film.
“Reviving Yiddish Stage and Screen” kicks off the Milken Center’s three-day UCLA conference, “Sonic Representations of Jewishness, Onscreen and Off.”
RSVP for one or both events.
This event is made possible by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music
