Her Second Mother

In this quintessential Second Avenue-style production a young woman tries to repay her adoptive parents' kindness by protecting their biological child, who has gotten involved with an embezzler. Eventually, there’s a happy ending and some big laughs courtesy of the feuding, catchphrase-loving Kupperman clan who sing tunes by “Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn” composer Sholom Seconda. This one’s got it all: Filial sacrifice! Suffering parents! Wild coincidences! Amnesia! Comic relief! A District Attorney who sings in Yiddish! Nu, that’s not enough for you?
