European stage censorship as a roaring farce by a veteran diplomat
The article surveys censorship in Europe, noting royal and governmental control over theater and opera. It highlights Anastasie as a symbol of censorship in France, Belgium under Leopold, Germany under William II, and Italy under royal influence. It cites instances where monarchs intervene, theater subsidies shape content, and even royal actors and princes engage in staged performances. The piece compares European practices with American norms, illustrating how dynastic and political motives mold public morality through the stage.
