	The Actors Studio - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Moscow Art Theatre, sometimes known as "The Sea-Gull Theatre", is probably the most important center of dramatic art in Europe.
		The history of the theatre began with a revolt of a forward-seeing playwright, Nemirovitch-Danchenko, against the stupid conservatism of the established Russian theatres.
		While this period of the theatre's work is now seen to be very one-sided, it served a good purpose in demolishing the old trickery and conventionality in acting, which had been left over from the romantic movement, and it showed up the faults of the old artificial methods of stage setting.

		Born in 1897 of the collaborative efforts of legendary director and producer Konstantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich- Danchenko, the Moscow Art Theatre revolutionized the Russian stage.
		Begun as a vehicle to elevate the status of acting and theatre in Russia and to widen the influence of Stanislavski's naturalist and socially conscious teachings, The Moscow Art Theatre was Russia's first ensemble theatre and the first to deny allegiance to the fickle tastes of its patrons.
		The Art Theatre and Stanislavski have nevertheless maintained an international reputation and have inspired the creation of other such legendary theatre groups as The Actors Studio and the Group Theatre.

		The names of Vsevolod Meyerhold, Evgeny Vakhtangov, Mikhail Chekhov, Alexander Tairov and, in the European theatre, Bertolt Brecht, Peter Brook and Jerzy Grotowski are associated with the acceptance or aggressive rejection of the ideas of the Theatre's founders at the beginning of the century.

	Hart House Drama Society - The Cherry Orchard
		But in the hands of the Moscow Art Theatre, the play was transformed into a critical success, and Chekhov soon realized that the earlier production had failed because the actors had not understood their roles.
		However, although the Moscow Art Theatre productions brought Chekhov great fame, he was never quite happy with the style that director Constantin Stanislavsky imposed on the plays.
		In March of 1897, he had suffered a lung hemorrhaage, and although he still made occasional trips to Moscow to participate in the productions of his plays, he was forced to spend most of his time in the Crimea where he had gone for his health.

	Meyerhold and the Theatre Theatrical
		EYERHOLD and Yevreynoff,--these were the two names that lured me from the comparative safety of Moscow to the uncertainties of Petrograd during those anxious days of February, 1918, when the gray hordes of the Germans were swarming on unimpeded toward the capital.
		His acceptance of realism as a dramatic method during his collaboration with Stanislavsky in the early years of the Moscow Art Theatre was not the act of a dilletante any more than the advocacy of the opposite today.
		His revolt against the sterility of the Russian theatre of the nineteenth century was just as sincere as his revolt against the first means by which he hoped to correct the fault.

	Moscow Art -- Monday, Jan. 11, 1926 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		For the past month the famed showman, Morris Gest, has been endeavoring to convince Manhattanites that the Moscow Art Theatre Musical Studio of M. Vladimir Nemirovitch-Dantchenko (cofounder of the Moscow Art Theatre with Stanislavsky) represents the ultimate and perfect synthesis of the dramatic, lyric, pantomimic and scenic arts.
		Upon close inspection of M. Dantchenko's synthesis of all the arts which can be crowded upon a stage and into an orchestra pit, it must be acknowledged that showman Gest's claim to have at length brought "singing actors" to the U. has been rather cruelly substantiated.
		It must be recalled, however, that the Moscow Art Theatre Musical Studio came into being during the Russian Revolution; its first performance was given on May 16, 1920, after a prolonged and extensive period of experimentation.
