Dybbuk (Between Two Worlds 1914) written by S. Ansky and produced at the Habima Theater, Moscow, in 1917?

   Some scenes from The Dybbuk (Between Two Worlds, 1914) written by the  Jewish playwright S. Ansky (1863 - 1920) and produced at the Habima Theater, with Shabtai Prudkin playing as Menashe, from 1920 to 1926

   Habima performed it 300 times in the Soviet Union, 292 in Moscow; the last was on 18 January 1926. The Theater has its roots in Moscow, founded by Nahum Zemach, and they first found fame in producing The Dybbuk. In 1931, the company moved to pre-state Israel where they eventually became the National Theater of Israel.
