Having spent some four years restoring “The Golden Bride,” I was surprised and a bit dismayed to find that you credited my work to someone else–in this case, musical director Zalmen Mlotek, who, together with the co-directors Bryna Wasserman and Motl Didner, did a fantastic job of bringing the work to the stage. If you had read the program notes or, indeed, the excellent review by Steven Ledbetter that was reprinted by the Operetta Research Center itself (http://operetta-research-center.org/1923-yiddish-operetta-astounds-new-york-city-audience), not to mention the NY Times article of 11/28/15 (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/28/theater/preparing-the-golden-bride-for-its-big-day.html), you would have found details about the restoration. And as for the theater-Yiddish pronunciation by the cast, I can only report that cast members were constantly approached by Yiddish speakers who addressed them in Yiddish on the assumption that the cast spoke the language fluently.
