Drama

Krutch, Joseph Wood | February 5, 1930 issue

The author says that some weeks ago the junior members of the Theater Guild were permitted to have their fling, and chose for the occasion the Soviet drama "Red Rust." The production has achieved a greater popularity than perhaps even the parties concerned had hoped for, and those who would like to know what the contemporary Soviet theater is like can get a very accurate idea by paying a visit to the theater Martin Beck. "Red Rust" concerns itself with the story of the downfall of a hypocrite, a hero of the revolution who is using his reputation and his gift for employing the catch words of the new order for the purpose of furthering his selfish love of power.
