Zusammenfassung:"A Vilna Legend" features the classic tale of frustrated love. A yeshiva student and an orphan girl who are deeply in love face eternal separation even though their parents promised them to each other before birth. Only the prophet Elijah's miraculous intervention allows their parents to fulfill their vow and the couple their love. The film is a unique glimpse into the vibrant Yiddish theatre and cinema of the 1920s. Originally a silent film (1924), the film was re-cut by New York Yiddish actors in 1932, directed by George Roland, with added narration and new scenes which gave the narrative a more dramatic form. The film features Yiddish star Ester-Rokhl Kaminska, in her only screen performance, along with her daughter, Ida Kaminska. [www.nywift.org]
