„The Luceafărul Magazine”, promoter of the theatrical art in Transylvania
The present study aims to emphasize how The Luceafărul Magazine promoted the theatre among its readers through the publication of some plays and articles about The National Theatre in Bucharest and about the performances of the dilettante actors. Theatre was one of the most effective means to promote Romanian language and spirituality. The articles about theatre have educated the audience by offering the readers chronicles of the latest theatre performances in Bucharest or Paris. Analyzing articles about theatre and theatrical life, published in the pages of The Luceafărul Magazine between 1902 and 1945 we observe a preoccupation with this branch of art, considered the most efficient way of mass education. Articles which promote theater are by no means coincidental; they have a well determined purpose: to educate and to develop artistic competence of the readers, providing models for the dilettante actors.
Keywords: The Luceafărul Magazine, theatre, Transilvania, promote, artistic life.
