Biography
The critic and author Oliver Martin Sayler was born in Huntington, Indiana, on October 23rd, 1887 and died in New York City, on October 19th, 1958. A student of Russian theatre and performing arts, Sayler witnessed the early events of the Bolshevik Revolution during a visit to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Siberia as a journalist in the winter of 1917-1918, which he recounted in Russia, White or Red, published in 1919, and in The Russian Theatre under the Revolution, published in 1920. Sayler's continued scholarship and connections with Russian performers resulted in the Moscow Art Theatre's historic tour to the United States in 1923-1924, a producing collaboration with Morris Gest for whom he worked as a press agent.
