Mr. Schwartz will present here a series of selections from his most famous plays in addi¬ tion to a wholly new repertoire of dramatic and numerous sketches and songs In Yiddish, Hebrew and English. He will be ably assisted by Miriam Rubini, the well-known Argentine sing¬ er of folk songs and Sonya Stat¬ in, the talented pianist.
International Artists, spon¬ sors ot Mr. Schwartz's tour an¬ nounce that they have received innumerable requests from neighboring towns for Mr. Schwartz's services. However, Maurice Schwartz's schedule does not permit him to make a single stop other than those specifically arranged and plan¬ ned beforehand. The legion of admirers of the eminent artist who reside in outlying towns are therefore urged to come to the city and patronize Mr. Schwartz's only concert in this region.
