Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Russian Theatre
In writing about the theatre nothing today is more appropriate than the explanation of Russian art. That art, carried far by enthusiasm and noble stand ards, is happily better known to us than it was. The American mind, let us trust, becomes every year more worthy to receive it.
If there is in our country a critic as fitted as Mr. Sayler to discuss this art, I know him not. The book that follows is informed, its spirit moves ever on a high level, its judgments seem to me unvaryingly cor rect, and the ripe simplicity of the style is a suitable vehicle for the message.
The book is worthy to present to our people the most energetic and intense stage that, in over a century.
