- Pauline Hobbs was born in Salem, Indiana on August 12, 1906 to Flora Mae and Leroy Hobbs. She had two older siblings, a brother Samuel and sister Lois Evelyn, and enjoyed an idyllic southern Indiana childhood, filled with great imagination and creative encouragement from her family as she pursued roles in school plays and other performing opportunities. In 1926, she left for New York to follow her dream of being on Broadway, adopting the stage name Paula Langlen. She took up residence at the famed Studio Club. It was there that she heard there was to be an audition for the Winthrop Ames, Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolante". On a lark, she went to the audition, (her first ever) and when asked if she could dance, responded, "You bet!" and began to do the Charleston. "Please...anything but the Charleston!", Ames called out. Having no formal dancing experience, she just began an impromptu flitting around the stage. She sang a little song upon request, and skipped offstage where she waited for the auditions to conclude. Mr. Ames called out his selections for each part, and then, in what seemed an after thought, asked where little "Skippit" had gone? She scurried back on stage and was told that she too was hired. Having no additional role for her to fill, Ames created one....adding a fourth fairy. Opening night, famed theatre columnist Walter Winchell proclaimed in his very favorable review of the play, that the "littlest fairy, Paula Langlen, had stolen the show!" She was barely five feet tall and less than 100 pounds. And with that, her career had begun!

Jean Delannoy began his film career in the 1920s as an actor. By the 1930s he had switched careers and become an editor, then a short-subjects director. By the mid-'30s he was a full-fledged director, and soon garnered a reputation as a sensitive, understated craftsman with a thorough command of the medium. By the 1950s, however, he was doing overheated melodramas and overblown epics, including a particularly undistinguished version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1956)), and he was soon reduced to churning out such drivel as Action Man (1967) (US title: "Action Man") and The Double Bed (1965) (US title: "The Double Bed").- Eraine was born on 22 February 1908 in Paris, Île-de-France, France.

- When she passed away on April 30, 2008, having just celebrated her centenary, Paulina Tajman Maurer was in fact "The Last Mohican" of Pre WWII Yiddish Theatre.
She was born in Buenos Aires to Bessaravian Jews who fled Chisinau right after the infamous Pogrom and settled in a modest apartment right in the center of the Argentinean equivalent to Broadway, Corrientes street.
As a close neighbor to the Jewish Theatre Halls she found herself attracted to the lime lights (then true lime lights!) and began acting at age 14, first as a Chorus Girl and shortly after wards in true speaking parts, the first one being in Mina Axelrod's production of "Bar Mitzvah" where she was cast as the "boy".
Her singing voice, figure and musicality were perfect for Musicals and Operettas and she performed both as Prima Donna and Soubrette along visiting Theatre Legends like Moyshe Oysher, Itzik Feld, Benzion Vitler, Michael Michaelescu, Menashe Skulnik, Yakobson, the Bursteins and many more.
Between seasons the Cooperative of Jewish Players played Operettas starring Max Perlman and Gitta Galina and Paulina was always the co star. During the "serious" theatrical season she played dramas along Herman Yablokov, Morris Schwartz, Jacob Ben-Ami, 'Yossef Bullof' and many more.
She met her husband, actor 'Jose Maurer' shortly after his arrival to Argentina in 1927. Together they played the Argentinean stage and toured all over South and Central America with great success. In 1963 they made Aliah (emigrated to Israel) and kept playing with the leading stars of Yiddish Stage.
Maurer died in 1968, while performing in a play with Henry Gerro and Rosita Londner. His death brought for the first time in the history of Yiddish Theatre to a standstill of all activities for the length of the week of Shiveh.
Paulina kept performing until age 85 and appeared along Ida Kaminska (as the in law of Mirele Efros), Lia Kenig, Yossef Buloff, Zygmunt Turkow, Max Perlman, Shimen Dzigan, Yankale Bodo and many more.
She retired after 71 years on stage and missed the stage every day until her final curtain at 100 years and five days. - Music Department
