IT 1T MESS one is politically very "ul-
 II tra-ultra," there is nothing espe-
 W cially to object to in "Bolshevism on Trial which is the attraction at the Alcazar during this week.
 This is the picture which aroused the keen interest of the department of labor and justice, and which received a two column arraignment from a prominent New York journal, the chief complaint of the reviewer" being that "it was not as funny as Charlie Chaplin!
 Of course, there's political theme of course there's lot of this, that and the other, all of which has been sufficient
 to book the picture as a special in the big eastern picture playhouses, where people have crammed and jammed the theatres, some to like it, some to find fault with it.
 But, as Mrs. Clegg said of Mrs. TuIli- yer in George Elliotts immortal classic, "The Mill on the Floss" when she was speaking of spelling" "it is a matter of personal preference
 My personal preference regarding 'Bolshevism on Trial" leads me to say that Thomas Dxon's original story, Comrades" from which the picture is
 adapted has like the flowers that bloom in the spring." nothing to do with
 'bolshevism;" it has a lot to do with socialism, and attacks the "commun- ity' idea; it shows how a group of ideal ists are mislead by great leader' who is at heart the combination of Prussia n officer, a Russian revolutionist and an old-fashioned trust magnate." The story introduces young man of the ''bioated rich" class who joins the colony, mainly because he has met pretty Barbara Bozenta, known as "Comrade Barbara" in the "slums," and also be- cause he is an idealist having come back from France, a member of the Lafay- cite esquadrille, a German prisoner and a lot of other things with "idealism" soaring high in his heart and mind.
 He is rich and Is elected "chief com rads' of the colony, and for a while everything runs very smoothly, and he and ''comrade Barbara" become very close friends-nay more.
 In the meantime the jealousy of Her man Wolff, the real brains and brawn of the colony, seeks to dethrone young Norman Worth and in doing so he retains the confidence and good will of Com rade Barbara" whom he secretly ad- mires and covets. "Comrade Barbara in turn is guide, philosopher and friend to him until she discovers that his in-
  | love, is to throw his wife out of the | house and then chase the new soul mate
 all around the furniture.
 | Of course, the colony comes to scan
 dal and disaster; the marines are com pelled to rescue the "comrades'' iron their leader; the father of the youns
 boy who had been against" this com
 radeship business all along comes dash l ing to the rescue at the head of th'
 troops, waving flag and probably shout 1 ing above the turmoil and noise, 1T tolt you sol"
