Moscow entertainment scene
marked by enthusiasm, variety

By WILLIAM GLOVER
AP Drama Writer
MOSCOW-For a visiting the-
ater addict, trying to catch up
with the Moscow drama scene
is a considerable dilemma.
At the hotel there's a "what's
on" list, the sort available in New
York, London or Paris. But in-
stead of 20 or 30 events, you find
that in a two-week span there
are on tap here 128 plays and mu-
sical comedies, 32 operas or bal-
lets, a double fistful of assorted
concerts. Each theater is show-
ing from six to 10 productions,
top admission about $1.25.
THE REST of the operating
nut is subsidized by union and
city governments, with an all-
seeing ministry of culture on the
paternal alert for what is per-
formed.
No matter how you flip a 20-
kopek coin to settle the night's-
entertainment, however, when
you get to any theater every
seat is bulging with Slavid ardor.
Lobby hopefuls seek spare tick-
ets like there's no tomorrow.
"The enthusiasm is genuine,"
asserts a long-time member of
the foreign community. "It goes
way back into the country's tra-
dition." Even television, with a
nightly load of culture, hasn't
cut live attendance, according to
official reports,
A CRASH ROUND of play-
houses with a friendly guide-in-
terpreter reveals tradition also
appears to weigh heavily on that
elaborate bill of amusement fare,
Here are assorted impressions.
Perhaps the most impregnable
rampart of old-fashioned, broad,
suety, florid performance and
solemn dramaturgy is at the
Maly Theater, which deploys
four-hour stunners such as Leo
Tolstoy's "The Power of Dark-
ness and no-relation Alexei
Tolstoy's "Tsar Fyodor Ioanno-
vich," which is Boris Godunov
without arias.
ONE OF THE Maly's directors
keynotes a basic attitude or at
least part of thespic community,
remarking:
"We will never accept theater
that indulges in erotics and vio-
lence. We speak of the truth of
life in the developmenttofour
sociolist society."
Though drama is patently en-
couraged to deliver a message
officially endorsed, some Maly ri-
vals function with an appreciable
measure of freer expression.
They also happen to be places
where visitors find extra diffi-
culty obtaining tickets. 'Stubborn
resistance to a string of "NY-
ETS," however, usually produces
the desired paper slip.
LOCAL INITIATES rate Ta-
ganka the top troupe. It perhops

avoids supervisory frowns by in-
cluding such presumably anti-
Western themes as "Ten Days
That Shook the World," based
upon Yankee John Reed's story
of the 1917 revolution, and "Un-
der the Skin of the Statue of Lib-
erty," an off-Broadway type
youth - and - violence exposition
done to verses by Yevtushenko.
The latter play concentrates on
police brutality, which some
spectators may consider not an
American monopoly. Propaganda
can entail subliminal connota-
tions for those who look.
Similarly, an SRO crowd over
at the Mayakovvsky is a bril-
liant production of "Can of La
Mancha." As it ends, while Don
Quixote-Cervantes climbs lb in-
exorable doom, prison bars drop
across the front of the stage. The
ly against them. Bravos and bou-
rest of the cast claws frantical-
quets are the regular response.
THE SAME GROUP has con-
trived a happy-ending version of
"A Streetcar Named Desire" that
could surprise Tennessee Wil-
liams, with Stanley Kowalski a
forlorn loser.
Although about 90 per cent of
the extravagent display along
Gorky Street and adjacent by-
ways present the heritage of Go-
gol, Gorky, Ostrovsky, Pushkin
and shook-up Shzakespeare, there
are less imposing pieces by pres-
ent Russian journeymen, plus a
sprinkling of works from across
the Atlantic.
EDWARD ALBEE is represent-

ed with "The Ballad of the Sad
Cafe," Robert Penn Warren with
"All the King's Men," and David
Rabe is up against a disputed
rendition of "Sticks and Bnoes."
At the ultimate shrine of the
Moscow Art Theater, which is
which is celebrating its 75th year,
there are signs of deliberate in-
fusion of fresh elan. An example
in its round robin roster is "Steel-
makers," an opus about an ambi-
tious young laborer who discov-
ers the need for comradely co-
operation. The play is performed
against a wild Disneyland set-
ting of ultra-realistic flaming fur-
naces, flying props and, for a
clincher, a bulldozer demolition
of a workmen's bar.
The dominant impressions car-
ried away from such shows are:
highly imaginative design, from
Belasc naturalism to neomodern
abstractunexpected use of lit-
urgical music, from Gregorian
chantato soaringranthems, They
perhaps obliquely compensate
certain yearnings suppressed
since Lenin voiced certainty that
theater would ultimately supplant
religion, and a bouncy comic so-
phistication that leavens heavier
matters.
IN ONE PLAY, as a chess fan's
solo game is ,interrupted, a by-
stander remarks, "you're the one
who should have played Bobby
Fischer." The audience guf-
faws.

bar notes
By GLORIA JANE SMITH
Monday night at Mr. Flood's
Party, down-home country sing-
ers Amanda Bailey and Mike
Smith added two musicians (Da-
vid Cahn on dobro and Tony Mar-
kellis on 'fretless electric bass').
It's definitely a good, although
not permanent move and gives
the duo an appreciably richer
sound.
Markellis works professionally
for David Bromberg, but lately
he's been seen playing with a lot
of different people. Saturday at
the Ark he did a fine job back-
ing folksinger Paul Siebel and
at the Blind Pig he's been step-
ping on stage with the jazz group
Okra.
SO NOW he's with Amanda
and Mike, a duo that's been
playing "together" for only a
few weeks. For the past year,
however, Mike and Amanda have
been seen on stage together (at
the Ark and other places) with
Mike contributing pnly music

"A treat for armchair detectives. I had fun with it, and I
think you will too. It reminds me of those good old-fashioned
whodunits - the dialogue is sharp, clever and pungent. It's
mystery, mayhem and high comp on the high seas.
-Bob Salmaggi, Group W (WINS)
"An elaborate cinematic puzzle. This whodunit takes on the
intricacy of Christie's 'Ten Little Indians'."
-Paul D. Zimrerman, Newsweek
"'THE LAST OF SHEILA' is a good deal of fun, like one of those
tricky, after-dinner party games. Dyan Cannon gives a very good, very
comic performance." -Vincent Canby, New York Times
"I recommend it to you! It is slick entertainment with sustained sus-
pense and a first-rate cast. It is devilishly clever."
-Ernest Leogrande, N.Y. Daily News
"If you like intellectual puzzles and games, then this movie is for
you. -Stewart Klein, WNEW-TV
