benefit at the Littman's People's Theatre in Detroit in the 1924-25 season. At least three other plays by Reingold were performed at Littman's: The Only Sister/ (four-performances in the 1926-27 season); Libes flamen (three performances in the 1931-32 season), and The Rabbi's Daughter, which lists Samuel H. Cohen as a co-author (two performances in the 1935-36 season). Many of Reingold's plays and skits were performed in Chicago, where he worked as a publicist for the Logan Square Theatre. These works include Di tekhter fun ukraine (1918-1919, Empire Theatre), (March 1926, ), (April 1926, venue unknown), Soydes fun Shikago/Secrets of Chicago (Lawndale Theatre, date unknown), and Der Idisher tsigayner. Programs, and newspaper articles for many of these works are found in a scrapbook in the Louis Reingold Collection, Dorot Jewish Division, New York Public Library. Reingold also authored a number of works for which performance information is unknown. Controversy On December 5, 1924, the Rosa Zilbert Theatre (later the Hopkinson Theatre) in Brownsville, Brooklyn, produced Reingold's play A grus fun der heym, with music by H. Zalik. Later on, Boris Thomashefsky performed the same play in Toronto under the name Fargesene froyen. Reingold claimed that Thomashefsky's 1927 operetta Bar Mitsve was a plagiarized version of Reingold's A grus fun der heym/Fargesene froyen, and initiated legal proceedings against Thomashefsky. Reingold's scrapbook in the Louis Reingold Collection includes newspaper coverage on this subject. Later life In his last years, Reingold was employed as a publicity and organizational manager in the office of the American Jewish Congress in Chicago, where he died on August 27, 1944. He is buried with his wife Esther in the Pruzhnitzer section of Waldheim Cemetery in Chicago. Reingold's archive, known as the Louis Reingold Collection, was donated to the Dorot Jewish Division of the New York Public Library by his descendants. The collection includes unpublished manuscripts and typescripts for many of his works as well a scrapbook of newspaper clippings, photographs, and Reingold's unpublished autobiography in Yiddish original and English translation.
