("Jewface" humor)

Abraham Cohen M. V. (Monologue): 1920s 5 pp. handwritten & typed mss. monologue making fun of Jews

Likely Blair County PA, ca. 1920s, cover sheet plus 5 sheets, mainly in pen and pencil, last sheet typed, some wear, soil, creasing. A comedic monologue in a German-Jewish mock dialect straight out of Milt Gross and later Borscht Belt circuit humor. We are unable to read the name of the woman who wrote this: Mrs. C. L. P. Brown is our best guess. A reference to Blairsville on the last page places the author in Western Pennsylvania, as does a referenced trip to Indiana -- Pennsylvania, not state. Item #H8733
