Tolstoy S Plays
To Be Presented

AN artistic event of the current sea-
son will be the presentation, in
the form of dramatic readings by
Count Ilya Tolstoy. of the plays of
the elder Tolstoy. Count Tolstoy is
to appear in eighty cities in the
United States and Canada under the
auspices of clubs. theaters, music
coures, ETC., to give his interpreta-
tions of the great Russian plays of
Tolstoy, Russia's greatest author.
"The Power of Darkness" "Resur-
rection," Fruits of Culture" and The
Kreutzer Sonata will thus be pre-
sented in the English language by a
Russian for, the first time, and by the
son of the author, at that.
The younger Tolstoy is already well
known to, American audiences through
his lectures His command of the
English language, which he has
known since childhood, has enabled
him to bring his views on many sub
jects before large audiences in the
United States each season since he
left Russia in 1916.
The plays of Tolstoy are particu-
larly adapted to presentation in the
form of dramatic readings because
many, of them were, written as the
narration of single character. This
Is notably true of THE Kreutzer
Sonata" which Leo Tolstoy himself
considered his most artistic literary
work.
