This was published several months ago, but I missed it somehow. I'd never heard of Thomas LaRue or any of the people mentioned in the article, and it's a fascinating piece of modern Jewish history.
Here's the first paragraph, but you really need to pictures and audio links to fully appreciate the story:
| Quote: | | Early 1920s newspaper ads for the blockbuster New York Yiddish stage shows Dos Khupe Kleyd (The Wedding Dress) and Yente Telebende (Loquacious Battle‐Ax), featured a Black artist among the spotlighted performers. This was Thomas LaRue, a Yiddish-speaking singer widely known in the interwar period as der schvartzer khazan (The Black Cantor). |
