sorrows and their ecstasies are ac-
tual and significant.
Having said that, it is also the
essence of truth to state that Chekov
wrote in somber hues of lachrymose
and moody people, and with a most
lelsurely pace. AS character
analyst he is superb. He looks into
the hearts of his characters, stirs
their wills, renews their ideals and
strengthens their desire to achieve
the best and noblest in life. But it
Is overall a drab pattern, and all
OF the artistry of Director Guthrie
McClintic in accenting its occasional
gay moments cannot erase the traces
of tears.
Tells Of Three Sisters.
Chekhov tells of the three Prozorov
sisters, of their romantic dreams,
their constant ambitions. Masha
(Katharine CornelD, eldest of the
girls, has presumably been happily
married to Kuligin, the village
schoolmaster. 1t was a youthful in
fatuation, that dissolved illusions
under the drudgery of marriage to
a colorless mate and a wishy-washy
disposition. To the well hammered
and sensitive Masha, musician and
linguist, her poetic dreams find full
flllment in the companionship of
Col. Verhinin dennis King, but
Vershlnin has a wife and two
daughters, is also unhappily mated,
and both are slaves to convention.
Trina Gertrude Musgrove), young
est of the sisters, has a consuming
yearning to go to Moscow to find
her true love and leave the hum
drum provincial town. When she
finally yields to a duty courtship
that might achieve the Moscow
goal, her fiance becomes the vic
tim Of fatal bullet in duel.
Olga's Disappointments.
Olga Judith Anderson, is the
town schoolmistress, weary of rou-
tine existence, eager to avoid the
promotion to head mistress which
will chain her to provincialism and
its specter of spinsterhood. Yet the
promotion comes, and she is un-
happily anchored to what she
deems duty.
AS If this were not enough frus-
tration Chekhov introduces us to DR..
Chebutykin Edmund GWenn),
lovable old soul, whose brain is in
a perpetual fog, who is aware of
his ignorance and now and again
browns his futility in strong drink.
Andrey eric Dressler), brother of
the three sisters and for whom they
have high hopes in the scientific
field, wastes his talents at the
gambling table and is content with
small political Office. Natasha
ruth Gordon), who marries the
spineless Audrey, is a giddy CAD
about, with frivoulous ideas of
grandeur and the tastes and vul-
garities of harlot.
They are indeed unhappy people.
acutely individualized, and the UPS
and downs of their several love
stories provide the suspense. 1t is
in this play that Chekhov prophesies
through his characters the coming
of the day of release and the emer-
gence of the Russia now amazing
the world. Summed up it is fragile
story OF disappointments and de-
feat, without great moments of
suspense, no dominating thrills, no
heroics, but with an abundance of
appeal and honest emotional stress
