Jennie Goldstien (1896-1960), Yiddish theater actress and singer. ==Early life== Goldstein was born in New York; her father was a butcher. When she was 6, actress Rosa Margulies noticed her pretty voice and drew her into child roles at the Windsor Theater, including ''Hanele di neytorin (Hannah the seamstress)'' with Bertha Kalish. Having made a good impression, Jennie was soon making $9 a week. She went to Kenny Liptsin in the Thalia Theater and played in Jacob Mikhailovich Gordin's שהרת המשפחה ''Family Purity''—for which Sigmund Mogulesko wrote her the song ''Oyf yener zayt (On the other side)''—and ''Der umbakanter (The stranger)''.〔Zalmen Zylbercweig, ''Leksikon fun Yidishn teater'', Book one, 378〕 At the age of 13 she began to play adult roles for Max R. Veyner, her first being Yoysef Lateyner's ''Dos Yidishe harts (the Jewish heart)''. She moved to Clinton Street Vaudeville in 1909. She met Max Gabel (Gebil) there and married him when she was sixteen years old.〔http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/goldstein-jennie Bio by Shulamith Z. Berger〕 Gebel wrote melodramas in which the couple starred, including ''Alts far libe (Everything for love)'' and ''Kol shofar (voice of the shofar)'', specially written for her. The shows were popular and the couple played in Winnipeg and then in the Lipson Theater and the Grand Music Hall and Peoples Theater where she and Gebil were co-directors. In 1924 she toured in London and the American provinces. She wrote lyrics for some of her songs, recording them for radio and phonograph recordings.〔 Goldstein and Gabel divorced in 1930; she subsequently managed the Prospect Theater in the Bronx in 1932–1933. She married lawyer Charles W. Groll in May 1936. She starred in her only film role, ''Tsvey shvester (Two Sisters)'' in 1939. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jennie Goldstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
