Komisarjevsky OF
Direct Plays for
the Theater Guild
Russian Director Rejects Of
fers Of Moscow, Berlin and
London to Come Here.

Lawrence Langner, director of the
Theater Guild, who returned last week
from Europe brings first hand informa-
ton about Theodore Komisarjevsky. the
Moscow producer. who will direct the
Theater Guild productions OF next sea-
SON. The reputation Mr.. Komisarjevsky
made in Russia precedes him. Letters
from Bernard Shaw and st. John Err
vine also assured the guild that Mr..
Komisarjevsky, while producing for the
Stage Society these last two years in
London. has proved to be the best direc-
tor In England.
Il had already made some strides In
the arrangement to bring Komisarjevsxy
over" said Mr.. Langner in speaking of
his trip. when I went to see him In his
London home. He is very tall, slight
man. who droops into a chair and re-
mains silent the whole afternoon. Know
ing the Soviet was after him with an
excellent offer to keep him producing in
Moscow and that Berlin theater was
trying to bring him TO Germany. / felt
Upon further acquaintance, however,
] discovered that he was very shy. and
his silence had not meant Ill will. He
IS interested particularly In directing
for us r. u. r. the first Czech play TO
be presented here, by Karel Capek. who
Is artist and philosopher. He also liked
'Masse Mensch.' by Ernst Toller, and
Peer Gynt.' in which Joseph Schild-
kraut will play the lead.
II was told that Mr.. Komisarjevsky's $
position in London was. In the eyes of
his compatriots, that of dethroned
monarch. His past triumchs In his own
komisarjevsky Theater In Moscow are
not forgotten. He was there recognized
as the biggest rival of the Moscow Art
Theater and an opponent Of their theory
of acting His book, The Art of the
Actor and the Theory of Stanisiavslxy.'
IS a thesis on the methods OF Eroduc-
ton and acting in which he believes.
What Shaw finally said to me when
nhoned him that ] had succeeded in Sc
curing Komisarjevsky's services for the
guild was. Why do you come over here
