Note

• [The twenty year jubilee of the Yiddish Theatre. Thalia, the god of comedy celebrates the birthday of the Yiddish theatre.]
• [The Yiddish theatre has been an important element in the development of our people's taste and spirit. It is only a shame that we did not have theatre before it began when it did--who knows what we could have achieved? How advanced we would be in talent and art? ...The theatre progresses, it pushes forward, pushing beyond and beyond, higher and higher. If we were to compare the theatre of today with that of yesterday we may ask: have we, indeed, reached the highest peak or shall we reach even finer and more beautiful levels? We hope that the latter will be the case. Art has no limits. And when one thinks that the limits have been reached, there are only higher peakss for which to strive.]
• [Tuesday 21 April 1896. Come all to the greatest celebration! Come and see what you have never seen before! The old and the new come together! See the difference between now and then! Bertha Kalish and David Kessler want to surprise their public. To the stage, comes the exceptional experience with all the particularities. The first and best Yiddish opera of Avraham Goldfadn's golden pen. Mrs. Kalish as Shulamis, Mr. Kessler as Avshalom, Mr. Sigmund Mogulesco as Tsingitang with a robust orchestra and choir/]
• [Twenty years ago when the father of the Yiddish theatre, Abraham Goldfadn surfaced with feeble talents to establish a temple of art for Jews, a Yiddish theatre with scenes of Jewish life, Jewish music and Jewish actor, we did not expect that the Yiddish theatre would grow to become such a giant, with such great strength, so much taste and tact. Yiddish theatre has nothing to be ashamed of in contrast to the English theatre...The Thalia Theatre, in the course of its season has performed such plays, they may be worn like a necklace even by the great art temples of London or Paris.]
• [With small steps the Yiddish theatre emerged into the world. When Abraham Goldfadn toured Russia and sang his song "Awake My People"...he brought light into all the dark corners and woke the Jews to a new life and a new spirit. Since then, the Yiddish theatre has become an established institution to refine the spirit. No man, educated or not, can live without the theatre, unless he believes that he lives but in reality he is dead.]
