 The taIe Is lad in Russia at the time of the outbreak of strife between the Red Army and the White Army of the arlstocrats. he dramatic interest centers lu the contacts between Eliuor Far. lovely arIstocrat, and William Boyd. sweat stained, t0il-laden boat man O. the olga Theodore kosloff plays 6 striking dumb blacksmith. Victor Narconi. an imperIous pince, and Julia Faye. an exotic Tartar char aeter. Robert Edes0n Is given one of hls interesting character roles, as the last of great line of Russian land owners
 The story starts on the Volga, be- fore the Revolution. and then swings into it's stride when the overturning of the Gzar makes the whole nation a seething ealdron of upheayal. Servant becomes master. and master-seryant. The highlght of the picture IS great ball of the arlstOcrats interrupted by the shells of the Reds. Later We see the aristoerats in their silks and sat- ins forced into the harness formerly worn by the Nolga boatmen.
 The story points no moral and takes no sides. II is intended simply as a love story of a man and q woman play ed against the most interesting tapes try Of recent history.
