trasts, an echo showing how the

Chekhov Offers Paradox.
Between the amazing Russians of
the Red army at Moscow and Stain
grad and the Russians of the great
imaginative writers, Dostoyevsky,
Tolstoy and Chekhov, there seems at
first sight a chasm of difference
Can the self-torturing folk of
Dostoyevsky, the self-indulgent men
and women of Tolstoy, and the in
Prospective characters of Chekhov be
of the same race as those valiants
of heroic action who are today hold
ing the admiration of the world?
This speculation will be particu-
larly stirred by the intimately hu-
man portraits drawn by Chekhov in
his world-famous play THE Three
Sisters" which Katharine Cornell
will present with a lavishly dis
tinguished cast at the National
Theater beginning Monday evening
Dramatic Realism.
The paradox in these Russians
stunning the armies of Hitler ver-
sus the Russians baff1ed in their
great novels and dramas by life it
self is all the more striking by rea-
son of the fact that no other ma
tional literature has been so admir-
ingly acclaimed for its glowing
realism. its art of portraying the
inner reality of the Russian soul.
When the theaters of England and
America were still cropping toward
modes of achieving dramas realis-
tically mirroring contemporary life.
the Russian playWrights had long
before created a dramatic realism
that was to have a profound influ-
ence on the dramatists of Europe
and America. And it has been a
realism portraying the national life
with not only peculiar power of
observation but a sensitivity to the
hopes and despair of all classes of
its society.
Prophetic Speeches.
h II the warmly conceived group of
characters in Chekhov's The Three
Sisters felt as vividly individual
men and women yet as typical of
their stations in life, give no hint
Of having any of the potentials for
action, prodigious effort and fight
to the death for cause, such as are
exhibited by their descendants to-
day, 1t is not because the dramatist
was without hope for them. Loving
them in their small joys and their
sadness over disillusionment, he had
that faith in them which shines
forth in one of the prophetic
speeches of the play.
The day of reckoning Is here.

fred Lunt, turns up in the village.
Pedro, whose word is law, says they
may not perform. But Serafin recog-
nlzes the magnate as the reformed
pirate and by threatening exposure

Fun for Audience.
To gain way with Manuela, Sera-
fin pretends he is her pirate hero.
Here is Pedro's chance to get rid of
the man whom he exposes to the
viceroy as Estramudo in disguise.
Condemned forthwith to death,
Serafln receives permission to give
one last performance. So doing he
puts Manuela into trance In which
she reveals the fact that her hus-

Pedro is arrested, his loot confis-

pare to marry, but in prospect the
wedding bells have an ominously
sour sound in the bridegroom's ears
when he learns that he shall go no
more a-roving but must settle down
quietly and be good husband. You
can perhaps imagine what fun the
Lunts have with all this-and what
fun the audience has at satisfactory
intervals.
