Doubtless the plays of Russian dramatist Anton Palvovich Chekhov are and always will be caviare to the general--at least outside of Russia, where, besides, the metaphor does not hold. No one who goes to the theater with fixed ideas as to the sort of entertainment appropriate to the place can be anything but bewildered by them, and no one thus out of tune with their author can possibly catch their exquisitely tenuous aroma. "The Cherry Orchard" and "The Three Sisters" have been given recently with success by Miss Le Gallienne, and now a cooperative company under the direction of that admirable actor Leo Bulgakov is performing "The Sea-Gull" delightfully at the Comedy Theater.
