When my late father came here from Poland in December 1927, the first place he lived was 74 Liberty Avenue in Brooklyn. At that time, he told me, there was a Yiddish theater across the street. He never mentioned the name, but it was most likely the Liberty.
My father liked to go to see live comedy acts there. The manager of the theater at that time was a man named Anshel Schorr, who was very proactive in soliciting feedback from patrons such as my father. I understand Schorr was quite a prominent figure in the New York Yiddish theater scene of the time.
