Ben Chasin tells me more about Urke Nachalnik
Somebody should do an oral history on Ben Chasin! I can't understand him well enough over the phone to spell the names he gives me!
However, he remembered the thief-turned-writer Urke Nakhalnik and said his most famous play was Nakhtmentshn (people of the night) and that the "best actors" played in it, two of them from Vilna. I think he said Rivka Shiler and Chaver Wolfgang but when I google those names nothing comes up.
