Title

Mata Hari, 1934

Description

A play about the double agent who used her powers of seduction to extract military secrets from her many lovers. Her life had inspired two films by the time Dina Halpern appeared in the play by the same name in Scala Theater in Warsaw. One in Germany (1927) and one in Hollywood that starred Greta Garbo (1931). No manuscript of the play survives. Zylbercweig describes it as a work of reportage done by Dovid Globus.
