La historia de una niña judía obligada a ocultar su identidad para poder asistir a la escuela de medicina en San Petersburgo. POLA NEGRI
Se llamaba Apolonia (1897/1987) y a pesar de ese nombre se hizo un lugar entre las vampiresas más acreditadas del silente. Recuerdo que en mi familia se la llamaba "la de los ojos negros" y, en efecto, el rimmel corría sin mesura por su rostro. Durante el entierro de Valentino montó un número espectacular para la prensa, "desmayándose" varias veces y fingiendo ser la amante nunca correspondida de Rodolfo (algo que el hermano de éste y Mary Pickford se encargaron de desmentir). A comienzos del sonoro su estrella palideció y sus últimos años son un misterio similar al de la la Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) de "Sunset Boulevard". Nos dejó por un tumor cerebral a los noventa años y legó toda su fortuna a la St. Mary's University. (Eddie Constanti)

Shulamith was written in 1883 by the father of modern Yiddish theatre, Abraham Goldfaden. The opera, based on an ancient legend, tells the story of Shulamith, a girl who is trapped in a well in the desert and falls in love with her rescuer. Although they vow to be faithful he marries someone else, but years later are reunited. Shulamith was the opening performance at the Hebrew Dramatic Club in Princes Street in 1886 and ever-popular with the crowds, it returned to the Yiddish stage in London a number of times in the 1910s and 20s. The well-loved lullaby Raisins and Almonds was written by Goldfaden for the opera.
