The actors have united and founded a union. It isn\u2019t even suitable for art to be restricted\u2014for this we will forgive them\u2014but we would have to be blind and foolish not to see what\u2019s happening in said union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, dear reader, that this association of actors is built upon the power of poor workers, and what makes them better than any other union on the East Side? And yet, look at how it takes advantage of the power it has received from the other workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But all must come to an end. The pitcher will only hold up until its handle breaks off. The public has kept silent for a long time, but now it won\u2019t be silent anymore. What does that mean? A group of actors of the lesser sort has been formed of actors of the lesser sort, because the stars don\u2019t belong to the union, and the managers neither, of course, and they have put a lock on art. The question is, though, what gives them the right to control the Yiddish stage? What rights have they to monopolize the stage as far as closing the doors to all who want to be able to accomplish something on it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who are they, these so-called critics, who judge the \u201ctests\u201d of who performs well and who doesn\u2019t? It is simply a childish game. Let\u2019s see how those \u201ctests\u201d take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The candidate is ordered to put on makeup and demonstrate jumping or dancing and doing all kinds of grueling work.<del><\/del><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the holy experts nearly split their sides with laughter. Now, dear reader, imagine how much courage and energy the candidate needs to show his talent in front of the owners of the art. If the Yiddish actors really want, as they say, nothing but good forces on the Yiddish stage, they should themselves learn to act first, or they should declare an edict that nobody has any right to perform on the stage until they bring an attestation from the drama school where they graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m asking you, honorable theatre-goers, isn\u2019t it laughable that a bunch of actors has united in a trust not to let in any new talent, be they even better than them until\u2026 they all die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And their demands? The 100 dollars, and now, proof that you have performed for six months in the provinces. Go ask them if they have shown such official documents to anyone. Quite simply, the candidate is confronted with so many difficulties he can do naught but spit on the whole union and their demands altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/assets\/blog\/2021\/_sideImage\/Tsipe-Abelman-portrait-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"...\" width=\"633\" height=\"728\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tsipe (Tsipoyre) Abelman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Indeed, it\u2019s high time the honorable public understood and asked the actors\u2019 trust for an explanation of what they mean with the kind of tsarism that reigns among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American stage, as low as it is, devotes an evening to new talents\u2014they\u2019re given the opportunity to show their talent and the public is the judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the East Side, there are many talented people without any hope of ever entering the actors\u2019 union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The union and its actions compel them to await the old actors\u2019 deaths, when they will perhaps have a chance to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the doors!
