David Kesslers 2nd Avenue Theatre opened on September 14, 1911 and was the first of the Yiddish theatres to open along the Rialto. Many important Yiddish artists served their apprenticeship and gained experience in their art under the infuence of David Kessler; among these were Maurice Schwartz, Bertha Gerstein and Celia Adler. He also established standards for acting and taste for better plays among actors and public. Kesslers Theatre also screened movies and is listed in the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory. In 1924 an ailing Thomas Adler appeared in Gordins The Stranger. It was his final performance and two years later the theatre was used for his funeral service. An estimated crowd of between 150, 000 and 200, 000 packed the street to view the cortage as it made its way along the Lower East Side pausing briefly at each of the Yiddish theatres (cinematreasures-org 2015) .
