CORRESPONDENCE Of Associated Press.l
Petrograd, Aug. 1.-Russias univer-
sal Decentralization is embracing the
former imperial, now state, theaters,
automatically by general director,
who was nominee Of the emperor
and was subject to the now abolished
ministry Of the court. The last gen.
eral director was NJ. Teliakowsky, who
rendered considered artistic services to
the stage, but provoked complaints by
his despotism and by: the extravaganza
with which he expended the s1,500,000
state subsidy.
Feodor Golovin, liquidating commits
sary Of the ministry Of the court, has
issued an order establishing the future
direction of the state theaters on a
democratic basis. The theaters are
made self governing The basic prin-
ciple is majority rule in artistic, eco
nomic and social affairs by councils
elected by the artists, musicians, en-
ployes and workmen.
The Office Of general director Of state
theaters is abolished, the director be-
ing replaced by plenipotentiary COM
missary Of the provisional government,
under whom, in each theater, will be q
director elected by the employees. Every
theater troupe\will elect its own ar
tHtic repertory committee, which will
It Is to be staged, and will distribute
roles.
The existing theater literary COM
mittees will be reformed and will con-
stitute part Of the artistic repertory
committees. Each literary committee
will consist Of three persons who havt
accomplished something notable in Mt
erary. dramatic or critical work. The
literary committees will be obliged to
read and present a written report on
every play or opera submitted. This
will reform the existing abuse under
which many promising plays go unread
because the author has no Influence.
These reforms mean complete thea
ter autonomy. The reformed theater
will be run by Its staff. The French
Michailoff Theater Of Petrograd. which
exists mainly tor the recreation Of Dip
lomats, il excluded from the reform.
AS a large part of It's employees are
French, a special law must be drafted
for its government. There is a strong
democratic agitation in favor Of abol-
ishing the French theater as costly and
unnecessary.
Not only the government stage IL
being reformed. Az result of the
abolition Of the censorship, forty one
