Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. In Yiddish. 360 pages + leaves of portraits. 232 x 160 mm. Top left corner of title page has the rubber stamp impression "Picon -Kalich Mahopac N.Y." This book was in the Molly Picon library in her summer home in Mahopac. MOLLY PICON Diminutive superstar of Yiddish stage and screen Molly Picon (b. New York City, February 28 or June 1, 1898; d. Lancaster, PA, April 5, 1992), over her course of eighty years as an entertainer, had an enormous impact on Jewish culture in Europe and Israel as well as in America. Until she was well into her forties, her typical persona was an adorable but streetwise waif of twelve, often dressed as a boy, capable of executing headstands, somersaults, cartwheels, and flying stunts while singing, dancing, and playing all sorts of musical instruments. Most of Picon's vehicles were written, produced, and directed by her husband, Jacob Kalich, who sometimes performed as well. She was born Małka (Margaret) Opiekun on New York's Lower East Side; her father was a charming but feckless tradesman from Warsaw, and her mother, from Kiev, worked as a seamstress. When Molly's younger sister Helen was born, her father left home. Her mother took the two girls and her own mother to Philadelphia and supported them all as a theatrical costumer. Molly was performing from the age of five, when she won five dollars at a talent contest (and collected two more dollars singing for the trolley passengers on the way there). She spent many nights of her youth and adolescence doing song-and-dance routines in theatres, and although she loved school, the exhaustion caught up with her and she left high school at sixteen. A touring vaudeville troupe calling itself the Four Seasons took Molly Picon on the road in the part of "Winter." During the height of the influenza epidemic, the troupe found itself in Boston where all the vaudeville houses had been shuttered for fear of contagion. Only the Boston Grand Opera House remained available. Its manager was Jacob Kalich - "Yonkel" -, a cultivated Polish immigrant who had quit rabbinical school for a career in the theatre; he and Molly fell in love. They were married in June 1919, she in a dress made by her mother from a stage curtain. In 1920 Molly was delivered of a stillborn baby girl and was told she could never bear children. In post-World-War-II years, however, the couple more than satisfied their longing by foster-parenting four adolescent children in Europe and Israel. Yonkel determined that they should go on tour to Europe, to absorb Yiddish culture and to improve Molly's accent, which was less than authentic. In Vienna she made several films: her first, Das Judenmadel (The Jewish Girl 1921) is now lost; Ost und West (East and West 1923), in which Picon plays a feisty American kid (in boxing gloves) with no respect for old European ways, is the first Yiddish (though silent) film to have survived. The couple played in Kishnev, Lemberg, Jassy, Bucharest, London, and Paris, presenting Molly almost always as a cross-dressing tomboy. When they returned to New York in the later '20s, they moved into the Second Avenue Theatre with Yonkele ("Little Yonkel"), Tzipke, Shmendrik ("Loser"), Gypsy Girl, Molly Dolly, Little Devil, Raizele, Oy is Dus A Madel ("What a Girl!"), and The Circus Girl. Business boomed and they bought a house in Mahopac, NY, which they dubbed "Chez Schmendrik." Kalich put all their money in the stock market and lost the better part of it in the 1929 crash, much to his wife's distress. But an opportunity arose to buy the Second Avenue Theatre in 1930; he renamed it the Molly Picon Theatre and soon recouped all his losses. Picon and Kalich returned to Europe in the late '30s, just when anti-Semitism was on its dangerous rise, to make the musical Yidl Mit'n Fidl (1937) under Joseph Green in Warsaw. She was paid a record sum of $10,000 playing a twelve-year-old girl who dresses as a boy so she can travel . . .…
