Aleksandrovich, Mikhail

Locality: Riga

Invitation to a concert by Alexandrovitch, chief cantor of Manchester, sponsored by the society "Olim." 1 item.

This subseries comprises approximately 1,000 oversize posters stored in map drawers. In Jonas Turkow's arrangement and cataloging of the items in the collection, oversize posters were fully integrated with the playbills found in Subseries 3; the item numbers they received fall within the same sequence as those of the playbills. Both types of items were categorized under the Yiddish heading "afishn" (posters, playbills; related to the French: affiche). The arrangement of the posters, therefore, mirrors that of the playbills in Subseries 3, with correponding folder titles and numbers (the folders containing posters are distinguished with the addition of a suffix "P" to the folder number).

Two programs, for performances by Alexandrovitch in Pruzany, Poland, 1925 (as a child performer, age 9), and a locality in Estonia, undated; and a promotional brochure in Latvian, which cites reviews dated 1924. 3 items.
