Illustrated with a number of b/w facsimile photographs of important figures and historical casts from certain plays performed by the Habimah ("The Stage") which was originally founded in Moscow in 1917 under the Moscow Art Theatre. Habimah was the first professional group to ever perform their plays in Hebrew. Reviews have it that this is a fascinating social history of a Jewish theatre group in transit to and from the former Soviet Union and the U.S. The author, R. Ben-Ari, was a well-known actor and one of the original founders of Habimah in Moscow, before that world-famous ensemble left the Soviet Union, ultimately to become the National Theater of Israel. He died in Moscow at the age of 68, visiting a brother there before dying of a heart attack. He was especially known for his role in â€oeThe Dybbyk,â€� the play for which Habimah was widely hailed.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
