With rubber stamp impression and handwritten names of Molly Picon and husband Jacob Kalich. Molly Picon was a fabled actress of stage and screen Molly Picon and her husband Jacob Kalich. She was born Malka Opiekun in New York City Feb 28, 1898 and died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania April 5, 1992. She was a U.S. actress of stage, screen and television, a lyricist and dramatic story-teller. Years active: 1904-1984. Husband: Jacob Kalich (1919-1975). She was a star of the Yiddish theatre and film, but later turned to English-language productions. Her parents were Polish Jewish emigrants: Clara (née Ostrow), a wardrobe mistress, and Louis Opiekun, a shirtmaker. Opiekun is "guardian" or "caretaker" in Polish. She later changed it to Picon. Her career began at the age of six years in the Yiddish Theatre. In 1912, she debuted at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia and became a star of the Yiddish Theater District, performing in plays in the District for seven years. Picon was so popular in the 1920s that many shows had her adopted name, Molly, in their title. In 1931, she opened the Molly Picon Theatre. She appeared in many films, starting with silent movies. Her earliest films were made in Europe; among the first was the Yiddish film East and West, made in Vienna in 1923, which is the earliest of her films that survives. The film depicts a clash of New and Old World Jewish cultures. She plays a U.S.-born daughter who travels with her father back to Galicia in East Central Europe. Her husband Jacob Kalich played one of her close relatives. Picon's most famous film, Yidl Mitn Fidl (1936), was made on location in Poland and shows her wearing male clothing through most of the film. In the film, a girl and her father are forced by poverty to set out on the road as traveling musicians. For her safety, she disguises herself as a boy, which becomes inconvenient when she falls in love with one of the other musicians in the troupe. Later Mamele was made in Poland. In 1934, Picon had a musical comedy radio show, the Molly Picon Program, on WMCA. . . From on-line obituary: "Herman Yablokoff, an actor, composer, playwright, director and producer in the American Yiddish theater for more than 55 years, died [1981].He was 77 years old.Mr. Yablokoff was president of the Hebrew Actors Union in New York, a post he had held for numerous terms between 1945 and his death. The union, affiliated with the Associated Actors and Artistes of America, was founded in 1900. He also was president of the Yiddish Theatrical Alliance. Born in Grodno, Poland, in 1903, he began playing children's roles in the Yiddish theater at the age of 12.Mr. Yablokoff came to this country in 1924 and settled in New York. Among the extravaganzas he wrote for the theater on lower Second Avenue in the 1930's and 40's were ''Der Payatz'' (''The Clown''), a role he also popularized on a New York radio program; ''The King of Song, '' ''Goldela Dem Bakers, '' ''Mein Veise Blum'' and ''Der Dishwasher. '' His last musical, written, staged and directed by him and in which he played the role of the father, was ''My Son and I, '' in 1960.Mr. Yablokoff became chairman of the Yiddish National Theater in New York, a nonprofit institution for creativity and expanding awareness of the Yiddish stage. Earlier, he had written and published his two-volume memoirs, ''Around the World With Yiddish Theater, '' which won him the 1970 Zvi Kesel Prize for Yiddish literature.As he became more prominent in the Yiddish theater, Mr. Yablokoff traveled extensively abroad but no trip meant more to him, according to his family, than a seven-month tour of refugee camps in Germany, Austria and Italy in 1947. He gave 104 performances in 94 camps for 180,000 Jewish refugees. . .…
