POGODIN'S "ARISTOCRATS "
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—It was with great interest that I read Mr. Basil Wright's article on Soviet Drama in your last issue, especially the section dealing with the production of Pogodin's play, Aristocrats, as this play is shortly to be produced in London by the Unity Theatre Club.
It will be the first production in the new theatre that this club are acquiring, necessitated by the fast increasing member- ship, and will be produced by Herbert Marshall, who has worked with Meyerhold and Oklopkov in Moscow. Marshall has also met several people who were engaged in the construc- tion of the White Sea Canal.
The stage at the Unity Theatre Club's new premises is being constructed specially for this style of production, the principles of our theatre being similar to those of the Realistic Theatre in Moscow and Theatre D. 37 of Prague. This will initiate a new trend in the presentation of British Drama.—Yours faithfully, P. C. HORNBY. Unity Theatre Club, Britannia Street, Kings Cross, W.C. 1.
