Ivan lLazareff, the director of the theater, is an artist of the Moscow Art theatre and director-founder of the Maxim Gorky studio in Moscow. He began his career in 1900 in the popular Saratoff theatre of Russia, and in 1903 was admitted to the school of the Moscow Art theatre. In 1909, at the invitation of Nemirovitch- Dantchenko and Stanislavsky, direc- tors of the Moscow Art theatre, he became a permanent member of their company. He continued his work in various dramatic circles until in 1918 he established his own studio in Mos- cow, naming it after his friend Maxim Gorky, and carrying on the work with Gorky to inspire him. His studio was used by the Russian government as a basis for forming other studios in various cities throughout Russia. In 1922, at the request of Stanislavsky, Lazareff came to Amerca to play with the Moscow Art theatre. After a year with them he took a leave of absence and has since played on the American stage as the cripple and as the mad emperor in Morris Gest's production of "The Miracle" and with Laurette Taylor in the pantomime "Pierrot the Prodigal." The success of his studio methods encouraged him to found a permanent theatre in America and he chose Chicago as the city having the best conditions to develop such a theater. The ultimate aim of the Chi- cago Art theatre is to choose among the student artists in training a per- manent producing company that will carry on the influence left in America by the Moscow Art theatre. There are to be special courses held this summer in which acting, directing, playwriting, and other phases of the theater will be taken up in detail. There will be a preliminary course in both July and August, while an ad- vanced course for those finishing the first July course will be held in Au- gust. Procedure is not made through the regular school method but is actual professional training, the stu- dent beginning at once in the prepara- tion and staging of sketches and plays. Each student artist studies all the de- tails of his part in relation to the whole, thus gradually working the entire group to perfection in the com- plete play. All this is carried on under the personal supervision and direction of Ivan Lazareff. Any further informa- tion about the summer season or courses can be obtained by writing the theater at 410 South Michigan or call- ing Wabash 5773. Two of the members of the Albert E.
