...workers - that was what the Governor (I. V. Kochalov) did not like to remember. The growth of his fear, of the indignation of the people, and the hatred toward him developing for personal reasons in the minds of a governess and a scab, were originally thought out by Leonid Andreyev, Russia's great, mad dramatist and story writer. Director A. Protozanov seems to feel with Andreyev that psychology is, in the long run, more important to art than politics. Shots - the Emperor's aide-de-camp taking a dose of salts; a statue that loses its nose...

A boast quite as confident if more sensible than that which Author e. e. cummings attached to the program of him (TIME, April 30) is used to introduce this posthumous play by Leonid Andreyev.

I am expecting a new weekly magazine of news; possibly it may be less for 'les cretins' than the majority of the news press...
...next morning-Feb. 13-I got my first number of your TIME. For the first time in my life I saw the pictured face of Eugene O'Neill: on my writing table was a . . . portrait of Andreyev. I placed my hand over the lower part of O'Neill's face, and our Leonid's eyes confronted me, his fine brow and wave of dark hair (tidier, though). As to my hopeful expectation regarding TIME it is more than satisfied...
