ABSTRACT
Stanislavski's Legacy has just played the finale of the prison scene, the so-called "Storming of the Bastille". This is a mob scene that lasts three minutes and constitutes the culminating point in the play. This scene is the triumph of the French Revolution. The glory of the Art Theatre was spread not only by Leonidov, Madame Savitskaya and Olga Knipper-Chekhov,-but also and equally by our crowd scenes. The pride of the Art Theatre has always been the mob scene "on the Yausa" in Tsar Fyodor, the scene in the Forum in Julius Caesar, the scene of the mutiny in Children of the Sun, the scene-interlude of the guests in Sorrow From Wit, the scene in Mokroye in The Brothers Karamazov, the scene, gypsies in The Living Corpse and the folk scene in Pugachovshchina. All the more so because shortly people shall open The Armoured Train, a play in which the principal part is played by the people, the Rus.
