Russian Theatres Run at
Loss Despite, a Subsidy
LEINriNGRAD, Most theatres in
Russia are ran at a loss and, are
supported by the government tra
der the nationalization scheme ev
ery; provincial town has fits; own
opera house and other" theatres.- .
The only exception is a theatre
here which is run by . a group of
industrial workers. Theynot only
manage the theatre, but supply the.
talent. ' During the day they work
at their factories. At night they
perform,, the theatre.4 n
f Most of thef plays produced at
this theatre are of a revolutionary
nature written by the workers
themselves. .-'
. The . plays are L staged without
scenery special -settings or cos
tumes, which requires of the paly
era added skill in acting and acute
powers of eloquence and declam
ation. This itheatre Is the only
one in Leningrad or Moscow that
yields a profit. -

anything he or she desires in this

Every vaay brings inquiries,

are starting themselves on the
road to success these men and
women.
During the last ; few days the
contest department has been flood
ed with votes which were tnt by
friends for ; their particular can
didates. Evidently some of them
who have been less active in the
past have enrolled the help of
their acquaintances. . Subscribers
to The Statesman invariably have
their favorite candidate in whose
favor they cast their votes. We
take this as an indication there
are to be . some surprises and
shifting about In the vote stand

In fact, some of the candidates
who have been lower down in the
lists are now starting their cam

good guessers, some of those who
have been leading ; will - have to
look out or they will be passed by.
A little mathematics will show any
candidate how to jump to the top
of the list.

I bar two things are fully under

Fi-st that all of the members of

some will not even get to debate
here, so when you are in doubt as
to Whether you shall help us out
remember that already five mem

various Salems in the United
States, asking them to change

draw now, after this natic.wide
advertisement, we would appear

This is the first time in history
when two high schools will travel
more than 30Q0 miles to take part
in a dual debate. It's up to us
to do our part to put this debate
across. So talk it up let's show
the old Puritan Salem that wo
have something out here besides
two canneries and a paper mill.
