person
Korit
also: Корит
An unidentified figure named alongside the actress Glama-Meshcherskaya and the actor Solovtsov in Ivan Shcheglov's continued grievances over the flop of his play "The Summer Husband" at Korsh's theater; given the company he keeps here, most plausibly another actor or figure connected to the production, but not otherwise attested in this corpus. Distinct from (Fyodor Korsh, the Moscow theater manager, Russian "Корш") despite the superficial similarity of the Latin transliteration "Korit"/"Korsh" -- the Russian forms ("Корит" vs. "Корш") are unrelated, and the two must not be conflated.
Reading notes
- To A. S. Suvorin, 7 October 1888. Moscow. §5 Korit
"Korit" (Russian "Корит") is a name not otherwise attested in this corpus and is DISTINCT from "Korsh" (Russian "Корш"), the Moscow theater manager who owns the theater where "The Summer Husband" played -- despite the superficial similarity of the Latin transliterations "Korit"/"Korsh", the underlying Russian forms are unrelated and the two must NOT be conflated. Given the company he keeps here (Glama and Solovtsov, both cast members of the production), Korit is most plausibly another actor or figure connected to the "Summer Husband" staging, but no further identification is attested in the source or elsewhere in this corpus; flagged as unidentified pending further research.
