Gogol's two one-actors are as littleknown as almost any plays produced at Harvard this year: there is only one copy of them in English at Widener, and the card catalogue at Lamont never heard of them. They are not bad plays, exactly, but we have sources of mild, spasmodically funny comedy nearer home, and it is no wonder that only the diligence of Eric Bentley has brought them to American attention...
