The article focuses on two Russian plays that illumine one phase of the Revolution are being produced in the foreign-language theatres of New York. "The Karamazov Brothers," a dramatization of Dostoievsky's novel of the same name, at the Théâtre du Vieux Go lombier, deals with the Russia of the latter half of the nineteenth century. Maxim Gorky's "A Night Refuge," on the other hand, bears an immediate relation to the Revolution. The performance is one of the most interesting yet offered at the French theatre. The settings as usual are distinctive and striking, and the acting is imbued with intelligence as well as feeling.
