Solomon Mikhoels in one of the most successful GOSET’s productions King Lear, Moscow, 1934.
Mikhoels (1890 — 1948) was among the first students of Granovskii’s Yiddish Studio and later become a leader of the Moscow Yiddish theater. Abram Efros (one of the founders of GOSET) wrote at the end of the 1920s describing the situation in the Moscow Yiddish troupe: "Two centers exist now in GOSET’s internal life: the theater is led by Granovskii, the actors are led by Mikhoels; . . . Granovskii was a creator of performances’ style in general, Mikhoels was a creator of actors’ play style".
