Azernews reports, citing AzerTag that today 124
years have passed since the birth of Mohsun Sanani, the luminary of
Azerbaijani theater and cinema, People's Artist.
Mohsun Sanani Jafarov was born in 1900 in the "Sheytanbazar"
neighborhood of Tbilisi in a spiritual family. When he was 4-5
years old, he lost his parents and was taken care of by his
grandmother. In 1906, his grandmother sent Mohsun to Madrasa. His
grandmother's goal was to prepare Mohsin to become a mullah and
make him a mourner like his father in the future. However, Mohsun
could neither complete his studies nor fulfill his grandmother's
wish. In 1908, his grandmother died, and his aunt Molla Zinyat took
him under her protection. Molla Zinyat is the mother of People's
Artist of the Republic Ali Gurbanov.

Molla Zinyat wants Mohsuni more than her children. He personally
deals with Sanani's singing. However, Ms. Zinyat's condition was
not good either. He had many family members. Despite this, Zinyat
keeps Mohsun and her sister as her own children. The younger Mohsun
is ashamed of being a burden to her and her sister's aunt.
Therefore, he has to work since 1909. He endures all kinds of
suffering and hard work in "Sheytanbazar".
Enthusiasm for the stage arose in Sanani from his teenage years.
He watched with great enthusiasm the performances of local theaters
and artists who came to Tbilisi on tour. Mohsun pays attention to
the play of theater actors and the voice of dervishes singing in
the squares and imitates them. In this way, he develops his reading
ability. In 1911, Mohsen appeared in front of a large crowd for the
first time. Although he is very excited, his speech has a deep
impact on listeners and viewers. In 1912, Mohsin joined a small
association of amateurs and began to try his hand at one-act
narratives in these associations. The first director of Mohsu was
Mirzakhan Guliyev, a distinguished comic actor of the Tbilisi
Muslim Artists Group. Thus, Mirzakhan Guliyev and the actors of
Tbilisi like Mirzali Abbasov, Mustafa Mardanov, and Ibrahim
Isfahanli, who watched Mohsun, hope for his talent. This hope
increases Mohsun's love for the stage. Those who were envious of
Mohsin's art and wanted to extinguish his enthusiasm were the
friends of his father, Molla Sadykh. However, there were many who
loved Mohsu. The father of a close Georgian friend, "Uncle Vano",
makes Mohsun unemployed at the tram park. With the salary he
received here, he supported himself and his sister, but also
relieved the situation of his aunt.

Intellectuals and well-known people of the time often held
meetings to help these theater associations and societies
established in Tbilisi. Such meetings took place in the bezzaz shop
(a cloth shop) of Mustafa Mardanov's father, Haji Hashim
Mardanov.
Progressive-minded figures of Georgia and enlightened
Azerbaijani intellectuals effectively helped this theater and
actors in paying building costs and organizing performances.
Nariman Narimanov, Ali Taghizadeh, Ashraf Yuzbaşiyev, Hasanbay
Zardabi, Uzeyir Hajibeyli, and Mardanov brothers were supporters
and promoters of theater art.

Mirzakhan Guliyev, Mustafa Mardanov and others. They are involved
in the Tbilisi troupe. In the same year, Mohsun was assigned the
role of the blacksmith Kave's son in the play "Kaveyi-Ahangar"
prepared with the participation of Huseyn Arablinsky. He plays this
role very skillfully. Despite the weight of his situation and
living in financial need, he gives up all professions but only
engages in acting. During this period, many famous artists worked
in the Tbilisi theater troupe. Among them, Mirzali Abbasov,
Mirzakhan Guliyev, Ashraf Yuzbaşiyev, Mirseyfaddin Kirmanshahli,
Ibrahim Isfahanli, Tarlan Khanum, Ali Askarov, Hasan Sabri, Pasha

responsible roles such as Heydar Bey, Suleyman Bey, Vali ("Arshin
Mal Alan"), Porter ("Mashadi Ibad"), Rzagulu ("Nadir Shah"), Cassio
("Othello"). Those roles make a breakthrough in Sanani's acting and
bring him real actor fame. From 1915 to 1920, M. Sanani worked in
the Tbilisi theater troupe, and from 1921 he began to shine on the
theater stages of Baku. He played memorable and unique roles not
