Moyshe Lipman B. 1893
Title
Moyshe Lipman B. 1893
Description
Lipman was born in Radomir Gubernia to Hasidic parents. He came to Warsaw at the age of seven and as a teenager began learning clock-making. As a young Yiddish theater-goer, Lipman enjoyed the pageantry of the historical operettas that were then the fashion on the Yiddish stage. In 1909, he began acting, first with the impresario Sam Adler and then Nahum Lipovski. Lipman traveled to the far reaches of Russia (near Siberia) and, separately, performed for communities in South Africa. In Poland during the 1930, he performed a translation of the controversial play Cyankali and also staged works by Stanislav Wyspianski, like Daniel, Love and Eroticism by the playwright Anton Wildgans, as well as a work by his own pen, described as a “reportage” entitled “The Ten from Paviak.”
