Miles Malleson has made his play from a story by Count leeo Tolstoy, the great Russian novelist, dramatist, thinker and social reformer. "What men Live By" is a story with a moral, like so many of Tolstoy's writings, for he gave much thought to the problem of how men should live so as to make the very best of life, for their fellow-men and for themselves.
