April 22, 1923: The company of the Moscow Art Theatre, led by the director Constantin Stanislavsky, arrives in Philadelphia and a photo of them standing together in the old Broad Street Station is printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Producer Morris Gest, who was also in the photo, had brought the company to America, booked them into the Lyric Theatre at the corner of Broad and Cherry Streets north of City Hall.

When I saw all the #protests in #nyc of 45, I noticed all the signs saying “they indicated [former guy].”

I thought this was some #stanislavsky Actor’s studio commentary about indicating versus acting. “How New Yawk,” I thought.

Days later, I realized that that explanation didn’t make sense. Then I realized the simpler truth: the protestor simply misspelled “indicted.”
