Abstract

The Season in Moscow
Krutch, Joseph Wood | June 20, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

The theatrical methods of Moscow are extremely varied, nearly always interesting, and apparently almost equally popular. The audiences do not show any decided preference for either the realism of the Art Theater or the simple naturalism of the trade-union theaters. But the concern of every theater and every audience is with essentially the, same things. Underneath all the varieties of treatment lies a pattern which is fundamentally almost unvaried. The subject is usually either patriotic or sociological and the solution is commonly reached either when the red flag is raised or when some piece of machinery begins to function.
