It is 50th year since Mr. Ri In Jig initiated his contribution to the dramatic presentation at Weongagsa (theatre) in 1909. In a sense the Toweol-meeting for new styled dramatic performance and its movement since 1923 must be said to be the another epoch making event in the history of Korean theatre. It is 35th year commemoration the Toweol-meeting of Korean theatre. The distinctive purpose of this thesis is to introduce the 50 years and 35 years of brief theatrical circles arranging the entire period in five different stages as the following. Materials to justify this thesis are quoted from existing publications because I had no means to survey the original works and historical remains concerning theatrical movement.
The five different stages covering forementioned 50 years of theatrical movement
1. The first period; The period for Mr. Ri In Jig who initiated the theatrical movement in Weongagsa, and its influence following this period.
2. The second period; Launching of Toweol-meeting for theatrical movement in 1923, and its influence following the period.
3. The third period; The play writers institution for intensive study of drama was established to promote theatrical movement and furnished the stages to meet the purpose in 1931, and its movement there after.
4. The fourth period; Confronted with Japanese Goverment Policy to restrict korean cultural activity, Choseon Theatrical Ass. was established due to Jap-anese control over Korean cultural activity in 1940 and details there after.
5, The fifth period; Details of theatrical activity since liberation from Japanese domination up to date.
