RURAL ACTORS ARE TALENTED
Humble Thespians In Poland Depict
Stories With Realism on
the STAGE.


Warsaw, Poland.-There has been a
surprising increase in the number of
peasant theaters, which are making
their appearance in every part of
Poland. These institutions are run al.

result is most realistic. especially as
the Pole has strong dramatic in

theater, as the scenery is Of the most
primitive kind What carries conyic-

give a far deeper insight into national
life than all the pieces produced in
the larger cities.
The actors mostly train themselves,

The village to coach them, and they
