Elías Isaac Alippi was an Argentine actor, theatrical impresario, film director and theater director. Born in Buenos Aires on January 21, 1883, he died in the same city on May 3, 1942. He is also remembered as an excellent tango dancer. == His work with the theater == Alippi started in the theater in 1903 at the "Comedia de Buenos Aires" theater with Jerónimo Podestá's company. He formed his own acting company which was joined by Francisco Ducasse, José González Castillo, Miguel Ligero, Héctor Quiroga, Carlos Morganti among others known actors of the era. He traveled with Carlos Gardel to Brazil in 1915, failed and returned with no money. He then formed the "Compañía Tradicionista Argentina" (''Argentine Traditionalist Company'') which, with the direction of José González Castillo played at the San Martín theater in 1915, ''Juan Moreira'', ''Santos Vega'' and ''Martín Fierro'' with the musical help of Gardel and Razzano and their songs, plus Alippi's who wrote several tangos. In 1916 he was joined by Enrique Muiño and formed the Muiño-Alippi Company, which would become one of the most important popular theater production companies of the time. Among the plays and musicals presented were ''La taba del querer'' by Carlos Schaeffer Gallo at the Nuevo theater in 1916, ''Las entrañas del lobo'' by Carlos De Paoli, ''Los novios de Genoveva'' by Alberto Vacarezza, ''El candidato del pueblo'' by José Antonio Saldías in 1917 and ''Avanti Foot-ball club'' by Juan Fernando Camilo Darthés and Carlos Santiago Daniel in 1918. In 1918 Elías Alippi, who worked in the production the sainete ''Los dientes del perro'' (The Dog's teeth) by José González Castillo an Alberto T. Weisbach had the idea of presenting a scene in a cabaret live with the best orchestra of the time, he hired Roberto Firpo's orchestra, to play tangos as proposed by his friend Gardel. They included the tango piece ''Mi noche triste'' (My sad night) by Samuel Castriota and Pascual Contursi to be sung by Manolita Poli, a 19-year-old actress and singer, daughter of zarzuela parents. The play opened on 20 April 1918 at the Esmeralda theater (later called Maipo), and stayed open the whole season and renewed for a subsequent season the next year. The principal factor of such a success was the incorporation of the tango piece to the theatrical play, and especially the public's applause to the playing of ''Mi noche triste''. The company also played ''Premios a la virtud'' (Prizes for virtue) by Ulises Favaro in July 1920, ''El testamento de Fausto'' (Faust's testament) by Miguel Escuder on 23 December 1921, ''Pepita de oro'' (Gold nugget) by Roberto Cayol on 15 May 1924.
