ABSTRACT
Last night the Repertory Theatre, in introducing playgoers to the spirit of the dramatic literature of modern Russia, gave Glasgow a unique proof of its artistic mission. Anton Chekhov's sombre comedy, ‘The Seagull’ as translated by Mr. George Calderon and performed by the Repertory Company, provides a novel and most enjoyable intellectual experience. The play, a piece of pure realism, is extraordinarily interesting and this from several points of view. For besides the actual story and the vivid picture of dull country life it presents, the dialogue expresses much of the author's mind on the subject of dramatic art and letters.
