Actress Hannah Rovina (born Minsk, present day Belarus) as Leah, a woman possessed by a malevolent spirit, in the 1922 play THE DYBBUK. Rovina later became an Israeli citizen and is often referred to as the "First Lady of Hebrew Theatre.”

β€œIn Jewish mythology, a DYBBUK is a malicious possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal, sometimes after being exorcised.” - Wikipedia
