POTASH AND PERLMUTTER translation

[Vladimir Alexandrov]

Dear Colleagues,

I'm looking for the Russian translation of POTASH AND PERLMUTTER, a play written and published by Montague Glass and his collaborator Charles Klein in 1913 in New York, and based on Glass's popular stories about a pair of Russian Jewish emigre businessmen in New York's garment industry.  The play was translated into Russian as POTASH I PERLAMUTR and staged very successfully in Petrograd and Moscow in 1915 (the translation was also advertised at the time as being for sale).  I have thus far failed to locate a copy of the Russian translation anywhere and would be grateful for tips about where I could find one.  I'm interested in seeing if there were any changes made in the text of the original.

Please reply off list.

Many thanks,

Vladimir Alexandrov
