The published diaries of Alice Konen (1887-1974), the great actress, wife of director A.Ya. Tairova, cover almost half a century and contain valuable facts of the history of the existence of three theaters: Moscow art, free and chamber. Together with the author of the diaries, the reader will go from the ardent of the graduation gymnasium student to the famous actress, who had lost his theater and her husband-director. A considerable part of the diaries disappeared - most likely, it was destroyed by the author. Nevertheless, despite the gaps, the preserved records clearly tell about the relationship of the actress with outstanding personalities - V.I. Kachalov, K.S. Stanislavsky, Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, O.L. Knipper-Chekhova, M.P. Lilina, L.N. Andreev, Yu.K. Baltrushaitis, E.G. Craig, A.N. Skryabin and others. Alice Coonen"s diaries are emotional and frank, concentrated on the inner world of the actress, full of impulses and passions, and are not at all like her restrained memoirs written at the end of her life. The publication is accompanied by detailed comments based on archival materials.
