Maxim Gorki Part 4

_"Heartiest greetings to yourself and to your artists. I greatly regret my ignorance of the German language, and am ashamed of it. If I knew German, I could express my sincere thanks to you more plainly.

With all my heart I wish you luck and success._

_"M. GORKI._

_"NIJNI NOVGOROD, "August 1, 1903."_

Hence we look forward with interest to Gorki's future contributions, whether in poetry or drama. It is significant of the man and his intellect that he has not allowed himself to be saddled by the Theatre Devil, but presses forward to fresh tasks and aims.
