RUSSIA’S RICHEST MAN
MILLIONAIRE AUTHOR. The richest men jn Russia to-day are not the bankers, industrialists, or great surgeons. These are aH relatively lowpaid officials. The rich men are the playwrights, and the richest of them all is M. Vassily Vassillevltch. Skhvarkin, author of “Another Man’s Child.” This rollicking but decidedly mediocre farce has run “for 15 months in more than 1000 theatres and clubs througout the Soviet Union. Four big Moscow theatres have played it continuously, t The work bears no trace of Marxist, '. Leninism, or Stalinism, and was passed for presentation after a solemn committee had decreed*-, that sheviks must learn to laugh.” After an-’*> other two or three years of such success, M. Skhvarkin will be a millionaire—ln Soviet roubles.
