Muzil
also: Музиль, Н. И. Музиль, Nikolai Muzil
Nikolai Ignatyevich Muzil (1841-1900), a character actor at Moscow's Maly Theatre, named here as one of five Maly actors (with Gorev, Sadovsky, Yuzhin, and Rybakov) for whom Chekhov has good parts in mind in "The Wood Demon." Not to be confused with, an unrelated invented comic name from an earlier, unconnected letter.
Reading notes
- To A. P. Lensky, 7–8 October 1889. Moscow. §2 Good too are the parts I have in mind to offer Gorev, Sadovsky, Yuzhin, Rybakov, and Muzil.
"Muzil" here is Nikolai Ignatyevich Muzil, a real Maly Theatre character actor, and must not be confused with, an unrelated invented comic name appearing earlier in this corpus. New real-world entity created for this letter to keep the two distinct.
