DOCUMENT No. 29
Theatrical Section
The pedagogic division of the Theatrical Section attached to the Commissariat of People's Education is at work now on a plan of establishing a whole system of theatrical schools in Russia (these schools already function throughout Soviet Russia. Translator's note.) Dramatic schools (State and private) are divided into lower and secondary schools. In the lower grade is taught the technique of dramatic art: diction and gesture. In the secondary schools the pupils receive instruction at the "studios" of individual teachers, The main object is to develop the individual capacities of each student. These schools also teach genera! science with the aid of lectures and laboratory. research. A Theatrical Academy will be at the head of this chain of schools where art will be taught chiefly from a theoretical standpoint.
The Theatrical Section at the Commissariat of Education has established instructors' courses where stagecraft will be taught.
The object being to interest new forces and talents in creative ​craftsmanship, the instructors' courses will train specialists on stagecraft: stage managers, scenic artists, property men, mechanics and electricians.
The two-months' course of instruction will include not only lectures on art and technique but also handling of practical problems closely connected with them. The studies will be conducted at the premises of the Theatrical Section and at the Communal and State theatres and studios. Studies and instruction are under the direction of the following persons:
V. E. Meirhold, stagecraft science; M. P. Zandin (scenic decorator of the Maryinsky Theatre), scenic decoration; S. A. Yevsejev (director of properties shops of the Maryinsky Theatre), properties studios; F. P. Graff (technical director of the Maryinsky Theatre), stage technique; F. M.

National Factory for Manufacturing Paints
Owing to an acute shortage of paints on the markets, the Moscow Art Collegium has decided to establish its own factory for manufacturing paints, with an experimental laboratory, attached.
The establishment of such a factory will no doubt play an important part since Germany, possessing in abundance all kinds of chemical products, may, as soon as commercial relations are ​renewed, flood the Russian market with its paints, which, by the way, are of lower quality as compared with those of England and France.

The Repertoire Committee of the Art-Educational Section
The object of the Repertoire Committee is first, the drawing up of a repertoire for district theatres, and secondly, the preparation of a list of plays for workmen's theatres.
In the opinion of the Committee the following principles must underlie the preparation of the repertoire: 1) plays on the repertoire list must be artistic creations and adapted to the needs of the theatrical art; 2) they should heighten and strengthen the revolutionary spirit of the masses; 3) they should be optimistic in spirit.
Owing to the insistent and continual requests from localities a preliminary list has been prepared including the following Russian and foreign dramatists.
Russian—Gogol, Griboyedov, Shackovsky, Ostrovsky, Leo Tolstoi, Turgenov, Tchechov, Suchovo-Kobulin, Shchedrin, Gorky, A. Tolstoi.
Foreign—Calderon, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Beaumarchais, Moliere, Schiller, Blanche, Ibsen, Shaw, Romain Rolland, Verhaeren, Delle-Grazie, Mirbeau, Hauptmann.
The plays approved by the Committee will contain short reviews, written by the members of the Committee containing: a) plot and central idea of the play, 2) characterization of the stage personages, 3) possible cuts and change of scenes, 4) illustrative points on scenery and costumes (preferably accom​panied by outline drawings). These reviews will be later published by the Committee as separate leaflets.
Besides, the Committee is preparing for publication a number of books on the theatre. The subjects of these books are: 1) stage-craft, 2) scenic decorations, 3) the art of make-up, 4) costumes, 5) rhythm gymnastics, 6) drama and opera, 7) studio work, 8) working over of assigned parts.

Theatrical Performances at Shops and Factories
Many shops, factories and plants in Moscow give their own performances. These performances, though of an amateur character, are a source of inspiration to the workers of local factories who are the actors at these performances.
Especially successful were performances at the Einem Chocolate factory.
Performances have also been given at Zindel's shops, Prokhorov's Dry Goods, etc. At the latter even dramatic art courses have been opened for workers wishing to receive dramatic education.—A news item in a Moscow paper.

See also Demetrius the Cynic on Wikipedia; Demetrius the Cynic on Wikipedia, Demetrius in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
DEMETRIUS, a Cynic philosopher, was a disciple of Apollonius of Tyana, to whom he afterwards proved an able antagonist. He spent the greater part of his life at Corinth, and first became famous during the reign of Caligula. The emperor, wishing to gain the philosopher to his interest, sent him a large present; but Demetrius refused it with indignation, and said, "If Caligula wishes to bribe me, let him send me his crown." Vespasian was ​displeased with his insolence, and banished him ; but the Cynic derided the punishment, and bitterly inveighed against the emperor. He lived to an advanced age ; and Seneca observes that nature had brought him forth to show mankind how an exalted genius may live uncorrupted by the vbes of the world.

Antigonus was killed in the battle, and Demetrius, after sustaining a severe loss, retired to Ephesus. This reverse of fortune raised him many enemies; and the Athenians, who had lately adored him as a god, refused even to admit him into their city. But he soon afterwards ravaged the territory of Lysimachus, and effected a reconciliation with Seleucus, to whom he gave his daughter Stratonice in marriage. Athens was at this time oppressed by the tyranny of Cassander; but Demetrius, after a protracted blockade, gained possession of the city, and pardoned the inhabitants their former misconduct. The loss of his possessions in Asia recalled him from Greece; and he established himself on the throne of Macedonia by the murder of Alexander, the son of Cassander, 294 B.C. But here he was continually threatened by Pyrrhus, who took advantage of his occasional absence to ravage the defence less part of his kingdom; and at length the combined forces of Pyrrhus, Ptolemy, and Lysimachus, assisted by the disaffected among his own subjects, obliged him to leave Macedonia after he had sat on the throne for seven years. He passed into Asia, and attacked some of the provinces of Lysimachus with varying success; but famine and pestilence destroyed the greater part of his army, and he retired to the court of Seleucus to seek support and assistance. Here he met with a kind reception; but, nevertheless, hostilities soon broke out; and after he had gained some advantages over his son-in-law, Demetrius was totally forsaken by his troops in the field of battle, and became an easy prey to the enemy. His son Antigonus offered Seleucus all his possessions, and even his person, in order to procure his father's liberty; but all proved unavailing, and Demetrius died in the fifty-fourth year of his age, after a confinement of three years, 284 B.C. His remains were given to Antigonus, honoured with a splendid funeral at Corinth, and thence conveyed to Demetrias. His posterity remained in possession of the Macedonian throne till the time of Perseus, who was conquered by the Romans. See Macedonia.

DEMETRIUS I., named Soter, king of Syria, was sent to Rome as a hostage during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes. He contrived, however, to escape from confinement, partly through the assistance of the historian Polybius, and established himself on the throne. He acquired his surname from the Babylonians on account of the expulsion of Heraclides from their capital, and is famous in Jewish history for his contests with the Maccabees. Demetrius fell in battle against the usurper Balas, about 150 B.C.

CANTEMIR, Demetrius, son of a prince of Moldavia, was born in 1673, and died in 1723. On his father's death, though not permitted to succeed to the throne of Moldavia, he continued faithfully to serve the Turks, distinguishing himself in many campaigns, and acquiring the Oriental as well as the European languages, of which he became a great master. In 1710 he was at last appointed prince of Moldavia, in order to aid in resisting the threatened invasion of Peter the Great. Convinced of the approaching ruin of the Turks, Cantemir joined the Czar, and shared in the campaign of 1711 on the Pruth, which proved so humiliating to Russia. On the conclusion of peace, Peter, who had refused to give up his ally to the victorious Turks, took him with him to Russia, where he lived till his death, assisting the Czar in his wars, and in great favour with him. He wrote several works, the most important being a history of the growth and decay of the Ottoman empire.

OF TRANSFORMATION INTO A HAWK
[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheets 13 and 14).]
The Chapter of making the transformation into a divine hawk. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:
“Hail, Great God, come now to Tattu! Make thou smooth for me the ways and let me go round about [to visit] my thrones; I have renewed(?) myself, and I have raised myself up. O grant thou that I may be feared, and make thou me to be a terror. Let the gods of the underworld be afraid of me, and may they fight for me in their habitations which are therein. Let not him that would do me harm draw nigh unto me, or injure(?) me, in the House of Darkness, that is, he that clotheth and covereth the feeble one, and whose [name] is hidden; and let not the gods act likewise toward me. [Hail], ye gods, who hearken unto [my] speech! Hail, ye rulers, who are among the followers of Osiris! Be ye therefore silent, O ye gods, when one god speaketh unto another, for he hearkeneth unto right and truth; and what I speak unto [him] do thou also speak for me then, O Osiris. Grant thou that I may journey round about [according to] that which cometh forth from thy mouth concerning me, and grant that I may see thine own Form (or forms), and the dispositions of thy Souls. Grant thou that I may come forth, and that I may have power over my legs, and that I may have my existence there like unto that of Neb-er-tcher who is over [all]. May the gods of the underworld fear me, and may they fight for me in their habitations. Grant thou that I may move along therein together with the divine beings who journey onward, and may I be stablished upon my resting-place like the Lord of Life. May I be joined unto Isis the divine lady, and may she protect me from him that would do an injury unto me; and let not anyone come to see the divine one naked and helpless. May I journey on, may I come into the uttermost parts of heaven. I exchange speech with the god Seb, I make supplication for divine food from Neb-er-tcher; the gods of the underworld have fear of me, and they fight for me in their habitations when they see that thou hast provided me with ​ ​ ​ ​

I have remembered him. I have taken possession of the god Hu in my city, for I found him therein, and I have led away captive the darkness by my might. I have rescued the Eye [of the Sun] when it waned at the coming of the festival of the fifteenth day, and I have weighed Sut in the celestial houses against the Aged one who is with him. I have endowed Thoth [with what is needful] in the Temple of the Moon-god for the coming of the fifteenth day of the festival. I have taken possession of the Ureret crown; Maat (i.e., right and truth) is in my body; its mouths are of turquoise and rock-crystal. My homestead is among the furrows which are [of the color of] lapis-lazuli. I am Hem-Nu(?) who sheddeth light in the darkness. I have come to give light in the darkness, which is made light and bright [by me]. I have given light in the darkness, and I have overthrown the destroying crocodiles. I have sung praises unto those who dwell in the darkness, I have raised up those who wept, and who had hidden their faces and had sunk down in wretchedness; and they did not look then upon me. [Hail, then,] ye beings, I am Hem-Nu(?), and I will not let you hear concerning the matter.

I have caught the worms and serpents, and I am delivered. And I know the name of the god who is opposite to the goddess Tchesert, and who hath straight hair and is equipped with two horns; he reapeth, and I both plough and reap. O Hast, I have entered in to thee, I have driven back those who would come to the turquoise [sky], and I have followed the winds of the company of the gods. The Great God hath given my head unto me, and he who hath bound on me my head is the Mighty one who hath turquoise(?) eyes, namely, Ari-en-ab-f (i.e., he doeth as he pleaseth).

My heart watcheth, my head is equipped with the white crown, I am led into celestial regions, and I make to flourish terrestrial objects, and there is joy of heart for the Bull, and for celestial beings, and for the company of the gods. I am the god who is the Bull, the lord of the gods, as he goeth forth from the turquoise [sky], O divine nome of wheat and barley, I have come unto thee, I have come forward to thee and I have taken up that which followeth me, namely, the best of the libations of the company of the gods.
