Firms Ask Safe Passage
OF SoVietS for Deportees

Helsingfors, Finland, Jan. IL
Finnish authorities have informed
the soviet government of Russia of
the plan to send Alexander Berk-
man; Emma Goldman and their
comrades across the border, but no
reply has as yet been received from
the bolsheviki. The Finnish COM
munication requested that the boil
shevik troops cease firing when the
party makes its appearance.
The Russians deported from
America will be placed OH board
locked cars and taken to Terijoki,
about two miles from the frontier,
accompanied by a Finnish military
guard and detachment of Ameri-
can marines. There are two ways
of entering soviet Russia. The first
is across a bridge near Terijoki,
where the bolshevik and Finnish
lines are drawn along the banks OF
a little river.
The other is further north to-
ward Ratau, where the lines are
separated by a thick forest. The
former is the more direct route
and, if used, the American reds will
safely reach soviet territory. The
other is known as "the route of
DEATH" owing to the large number
of political prisoners who have
been dispatched in the forest after
having been deported. People of
Finland, acquainted with the history
of deportations are keenly inter-
ested to learn which route will be
chosen.

Details Essential
To Success Of Movie

members of the Goldwyn local Of
flee at the Hotel Fontenelle yester-
day afternoon, declared that the
successful movie drama in the fu-
ture must have features and dc
tails which appeal to all, the peo-
pie in every community.
I'm the past details have been
omitted in many of the popular
productions he said, "and it is in
the corrections of these minor de-
tails, such as background, settings
and scenery that a picture will be
made great.
plays which depict personality
entirely are soon to be replaced by
more philosophical themes, such as
The Street Called Straight which
was only recently released"
Mr.. Feist expressed great en-
thusiasam at the growth and present
standing of Omaha as motion pic
ture center. Omaha has keen ap-
probation of high class pictures in
his opinion.
