Ellis F. Glickman, pioneer Yiddish actor and play producer, died yesterday in the Columbus Memorial hospital of heart disease. Mr. Glickman lived at 939 Windsor avenue and was 62 years old.
Born in Kiev, Russia, Mr. Glickman became interested in drama as a youth. He studied with Jacob Adler in London in 1887 and came to the United States the following year. Mr. Glickman made his debut on the American stage at Troy, N.Y., in Goldfarden's comedy, "Kuni-Lemels". This was followed by an eastern tour and he first appeared in Chicago in 1890.
The first Yiddish stock company organized in Chicago was established by Mr. Glickman in Metropolitan hall at Jefferson and O'Brien streets in 1894. He then took up Shakespearean roles. In the past twenty years Mr. Glickman had practically retired from the stage, but continued on as a theatre owner and producer.
Mr. Glickman is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ray Glickman; and two sons, Mortimer and Fred, both living in Chicago.
