X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Molly Picon (1898-1992) was the First Lady
  of the Yiddish Stage during its heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. In this ho
 ur-long presentation\, part cabaret\, part classroom\, Diane Cypkin will t
 race the highlights of Picon&rsquo\;s lengthy career.</p>\n<p>As a native 
 Yiddish speaker who has performed in many Yiddish stage productions and wh
 o knew Molly Picon\, Dr. Cypkin is uniquely able to combine her performanc
 e and professorial skills to tell Picon&rsquo\;s story in a way that is bo
 th entertaining and educational.</p>\n<p>Between singing some of the tango
 s\, waltzes\, and fox trots popularized and often co-written by Picon\, Dr
 . Cypkin weaves in highlights of Picon&rsquo\;s life\, including a serendi
 pitous meeting with Jacob Kalich\, the man who would make her a star\, and
  the making of Yankele\, Picon&rsquo\;s first Yiddish musical and its succ
 essful European tour. Dr. Cypkin also tracks Picon&rsquo\;s English langua
 ge successes from her breakthrough in 1961&rsquo\;s Milk and Honey to her 
 role as Yente the Matchmaker in the 1971 film version of Fiddler on the Ro
 of.</p>\n<p>Open to adults. Registration is suggested and begins on Monday
 \, August 5th.</p>\nhttps://edisonpubliclibrary.libnet.info/event/11266177
