Ansky, Sholom Aleichem and Sholem Asch, as well as Molière, Maxim Gorky, Henrik Ibsen, plus some Jewish-themed plays by non-Jews, notably Karl Gutzkow's Uriel Acosta; their uniform Lithuanian Yiddish stood in contrast to the mix of dialects often heard in Yiddish theater at the time; they toured throughout Europe, including London and Paris, as well as New York City) |
