During this time, Freiman began to cultivate his creative talents by writing short skits for Di yidishe prese, a local Yiddish newspaper.
Here, he became an integral part of the Yiddish vaudeville troupe led by Philip Weisenfreund (who was the father of Paul Muni), contributing over three seasons not only as an actor but also as a playwright.
During this prolific period, he penned numerous vaudeville pieces that were subsequently performed by the troupe, indicating his growing influence in the theatrical domain.
[5] Through these early endeavors, Freiman laid the foundation for what would become a storied career in the Yiddish theatre, demonstrating not only his artistic prowess but also his dedication to the cultural enrichment of the Yiddish-speaking community.
Some of his notable works include Ir Groyser Sud (Her Great Secret), Zayn Farshpilte Velt (His Lost World), and Dem Zaydens Gelibte (Grandpa's Sweetheart), among others.
[3][4] Freiman's career in the Yiddish theatre was marked by numerous successful plays and operettas, staged in prominent theaters in America and around the world.
The Louis Freiman Papers, housed at the Center for Jewish History, serve as a testament to his prolific career and are an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts of Yiddish theatre.
