RURALISING THE THEATRES
LATEST SOVIET

Moscow.
If pensants cannot come to the theatre, the theatre must go to the peasanta......
And when the theatre has been taken to the peasants it should put before them plays dramatising such vital things in their lives as the Spring sowing campaign. MINCIALMEDITARY
This le the reasoning behind an extensive movement for touring rural theatres now in progress in Soviet Russin, according to the Tass Agency.
A large number of special com- panies have been formed to tour from farm to farm in the farthest corners of the U.S.S.R. to perform the best Soviet pinya.
The "Art Institutions" of each separate Soviet Republic are also, making preparations for regular theatrical performances in rural districts.
The Ukrain for example.
hus
organised for this purpose 127 theatrical companies and 30 "Movin Brigades". The little Moldavian Republic has five big theatrical com- panies touring through its villages.
In Kharkoy, the biggest theatres have prepared a number of special plays, dedicated to the spring sow- Ing campaign, which they will per form in Ukranian villages, while the actora in far distant Uzbekletan are doing active work in the same direction.
